I'm absolutely baffled. I had plenty of custom feeds and numerous starred articles, and then with this recent update all of it just goes up in smoke. Makes a great case for being wary of tapping the update button so liberally. Do yourselves a favor and check out Feedly instead. It's 100% better than this and won't radically change everything at the drop of a hat.

This app is an energy vampire. I don't know for sure why it runs my battery down so much. I greatly suspect it's spending a boat load of energy running/getting ad data. There needs to be a TRUE offline mode and I really wonder if it actually is playing podcasts from my phone that I've downloaded target then streaming. If it's downloaded and I'm not on WiFi why does it need to ask/remind me that I'm on cellular data?

It was a great app but now it doesnt have an export feature anymore, is full of really intrusive ads and I wouldnt be surprised if they were selling all your information. Huge downgrade from what it was before. I absolutely dont recommend it.
