No font size options
So tired of text-centric apps such as this where all you do is read text and yet there is NO WAY to change the font size of the article text, even using iOS app-specific font size feature. What is the deal with these devs? It’s like making a car without the ability to adjust the seats. Unbelievable. Navigation from the tiny text article view is horrible. No way to swipe to next article or even dismiss the pop-up view. No easy way to mark articles as read. No mark read on scroll. This is just horrible… go check out other apps like Inoreader or Readkit and copy their main reading features. Then build off of that with your AI. Add more voice options. The default iOS voice is unbearable. Also your price is too high for what this offers. I like the idea of this which is why I care to leave such a review and it’s a great start to something amazing. It is just unusable… for me. Main gripes are above. Fix the problems and I’ll change this to a glowing 5 star review. UPDATE TO YOUR RESPONSE: No, you can’t. It does not change article font size which was my point.
Not terrible
The summaries are worthless. Other than than the app feels like one of many sub par news aggregators.
Super slow and glitchy at times
Great concept but in my usage I notice a lot of slow updates and/or the app appears to hang on a blank screen.
Decent with potential
Pros:
Beautiful
Lovely to look at
Easy to read feeds
Cons
Limited font options
Cannot customize main tabs (News, Technology, etc)
Hard to move feeds into main tabs if you import your feed
Load times are slow
Imported feeds show up as one tab called “Imported” it regards your categories inside the feed file *****
No bulk editing
Nope…..
Way too frustrating to try and use. Developer needs to spend more time on this before thinking of charging money.
Nope
No Inoreader/Feedly sync
Everything in the UI is just too big. Looks like it was designed for the elderly. Not enough information density.
Useless button on the bottom to scroll down when you can just scroll.
AI button on the main page is summarizing the top article, not the feed. Super weird to have that button there.
Turn off categories disables them, but it looks weird because it doesn’t toggle off all the feeds under them as you would expect.
Feels very half-baked. Might revisit in in a year, but it’s just a first draft of an app right now.
I would have paid for artifact
But not for this app
UI is dreadful, no iCloud sync
I have the iOS app (which has its own set of issues) but so does the macOS app. I have iCloud Sync enabled, yet it didn't sync any of my subscriptions from iOS. Why is the settings panel so tiny? Open the tiny settings panel, then click "Go to settings" and there's no way to exit this Siri prompt. I had to force close the app. No font size options. Horrible UI. No way to resize panels. It's like the dev slapped this together and hoped for the best. Stop trying to support every known Apple device and focus on one (iOS) and try to make it usable please. This is just unusable.
Excellent App
So fantastic,so expensive!
Smart summary?
Smart summary is not working, at all. The only thing that sets this apart from other news apps. Also, please consider ditching the subscription model for a single time price, or at least make that an option.
