CloudNews - Feed Reader

The app itself works but you can tell it needs some updates. All the options in the article view do not work. The article preview is so tiny you can barely read it when you click on something in your feed. I’d love to see this updated. Nextcloud users don’t get much love on IOS ha! This is the only RSS app besides fiery feeds that works with Nextcloud news. FF is subscription based though.

Please allow the app to have the sepia theme even though my phone is on dark mode. The black background makes it hard to read on websites.

Nice concept, but it just doesn’t perform as well as the webui or android app. Loads wrong article half the time. Crashes and freezes often. Themes are cool, but make some articles unreadable due to black text on black bg. And the ads, oh the ads...not in the app, but ones usually blocked when feed is loaded in safari. Will check back next year and see if any improvements are made.

Every time the app updates the state of feeds it freezes for a significant period of time. It is then usually quite sluggish afterwards for a little while. The display for articles in a feed uses some weird unintuitive indentation and I’m not quite sure why, but something about the layout seems to make it harder than I would expect to just scan through articles.

The articles are displayed about 1 word per line.

Works good but some feeds duplicate articles thru this app (checked on server and the duplicates aren’t there). Other then that it’s a solid app

Works smoothly and does everything I need. Works great with nextCloud News as well.

Connects fine, works great, no complaints!

I reinstalled this app after removing it many months ago. This new version has improved and is now my preferred way to read my rss news feeds.

Not having a solid RSS reader has been a bummer for me since google reader got the axe. I've tried other solutions like reeder and feedly and always had problems with syncing or a version being deprecated or something else. I could never get past the hump of integrating a tool into my workflow. There are features I'd like to see, but the core functionality is solid enough that I'm sold. The fact that the server is mine (feature of owncloud, not this app specifically), means that I can customize and add on features as needed.
