Imported icon does nothing?
I’ve installed on iPhone , iPad, and my Mac. iPhone works but on iPad and MacBook the icon for imported in the sidebar does nothing when clicked. Luckily the Mac has the view menu at top and dropdown to imported from their works but no such view bar on iPad so you only have the imported icon in sidebar which as stated doesn’t work. Uninstalled and reinstalled but still the same. It’s a great app and very refreshing news feed viewing. Alongside Reeder this is now my go to and together I have it covered. Hopefully the Dev will sort this out for iPad and Mac. Thanks.
EDIT 9th May 2024:
Updates since I first left a review have been great but to be honest I don’t look forward to opening as it’s very miss than hit. On my iPhone and iPad I open it up on general all news icon and just get blank screen and spinning icon. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. It’s become absolutely unpredictable as to if it’ll load up actual news or anything. Even if I open up the ‘jump to’ part to load another area, say tech or even my imports, then it does the same, just blank screen. Strange thing is when the start-up blank screen happens or if I try to open another section I can press the AI summarise icon and get a summary of that section even though the screen is still blank and spinning wheel!? Go figure 😂. I’m on newest iOS iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPad Pro 12.9 M1. I’ve not tried with Mac as I said earlier I just get frustrated more than excited on opening it now. I’ll wait and see if any of future updates change it but to be honest I’m not using it now as one of my main news readers purely because of the issues I’m experiencing. Obviously it could just be my system and it’s perfect on others as otherwise the Dev would’ve realised so I really don’t know what else to do. Sorry for long winded write up but I wanted to be as open and give as much information as possible. Anyways thanks very much for it as when’ it works it’s brilliant as I’ve said before it was one of my main go to news readers.
Beautiful news app
I wish we could use Safari built-in reader mode for some custom sources that don’t display content properly.
It would be great to have a top headlines view too.
Then it would definitely be an app that would make me delete all my other news apps and worthy of 5 stars.
Paid
Enjoyed the app a lot day one and on day two could not do anything without a subscription. This was misleading as the app store button does not mention in app purchases. I'm not willing to pay for curated news when we have Artifact, Flipboard, Reddit as places to easily grab that. Sorry! If this wasn't a paid app it would be a 4 or 5 star!
Great but some issues
I am on iPhone -
I really like this app however the toggles in each category seem to do nothing - my feed doesn’t change based on which publications I choose to select or not. Can this be fixed?
Additionally I can’t add any feeds - import does work however when trying to add additional URLs in the ‘paste X feed URL’ field, it does nothing. Can this also be fixed please?
If these two issues are fixed this will probably become my go to news app.
