## NetNewsWire Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great app"
Please add support for a dark mode icon in iOS 18. Thank you!

Update: They added the dark mode icon. ❤️
-- OrangeDemon22, 2024-12-19

### ***-- "Great so far…"
Aggregates articles I want to read, but there’s no way to delete it..? Help!
-- mido2049, 2024-12-18

### ***** "Good"
I would like to see more options for sorting, filtering, and grouping, but otherwise this is a very pleasant RSS experience.
-- Fraxtil, 2024-12-07

### *---- "Zombie Political Site Won’t Be Silenced"
I have tried three times killing the feed from One Foot Tsunami, but it keeps being undead. Perhaps the hard left / Yellow Dog Democrat sentiments echo the feelings of the NetNewsWire guy. Please properly code the site so that if users kill a particular feed, it stays dead!
-- Terranzio, 2024-11-28

### *---- "Fail: Unable to mark as read while scrolling"
I uninstalled once I found out that this key feature is missing. Too bad, it looked like a good RSS reader
-- Flash3581, 2024-11-20

### ****- "Search bar does not support Chinese characters"
Work almost perfectly. BUT Rss search articles does not support Chinese characters, please fix this.
-- likeyoujustlikeme, 2024-11-16

### *---- "No Apple Vision App"
I’m disappointed the developer decided not to enable Apple Vision support—seems lazy.
-- JoshofHB, 2024-10-20

### ****- "App is a memory hog no more.  Can clear cache through Safari!"
To clear cache, go to Iphone Storage; go to Safari; then go to Website Data and select clear.
-- Anti Opera, 2024-08-29

### ***** "This is so good i feelt guilty for using it for free"
This is so good i feelt guilty for using it for free
-- G6bstg, 2024-07-13

### ***** "Best rss reader on ios"
Simple & easy to use, and has a dark mode! Perfect for anybody who wants to read simple rss feeds.
-- mr ipad mini 5, 2024-05-22
