| 2022-07-21 |  | | 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. |
| 2022-05-03 |  | | 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? |
| 2021-09-21 |  | | 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. |
| 2021-08-18 |  | | Pile of hot garbage. Classic scenario, was a good app. It was bought out and completely changed to exploit unsuspecting exishing users for ad revenue. Its not even an rss reader anymore!! |
| 2021-07-01 |  | | Can't see the app texts! The new update 07/01/2021 won't let me read the app texts (like the time a news piece or a podcast was added, i cant even see the (Are you sure you want to delete all the news?). Please fix. |
| 2020-09-02 |  | | The new update with a full screen ad after every story, often with loud sound has ruined this app! Still has the small ad constently at the bottom So now you get two ads with every story! |
| 2020-07-03 |  | | Utter garbage dont bother. Was happy with this app for years until a few months ago when the developer inserted full page ads which you cannot back key out. So you have to exit the app to get rid of the ad. Complete nonsense. No option to buy "pro" edition to get rid of ads. Stay away! |
| 2020-05-28 |  | | it was good app, but everything has a beginning and an end. after last update - small fonts , crashes , bad control on feeds. |
| 2020-05-27 |  | | Updated review: Pros New update fixed how disruptive the ads were New features are nice Stability issues have been resolved Cons Includes podcasts you can't fully remove (but can hide) No premium version to remove ads |
| 2020-05-18 |  | | List view was removed. That's why I use this app. Now I have to find something else. Also, the last update subscribed me to feeds I did not request. Not happy. |
