## 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

### ***** "希望支持中文"
走向世界的app，希望开发者支持中文。
-- mudjjd, 2024-05-08

### *---- "Wasted Space"
Bad usability. Large company icons block out useful text, clipping content to show branding.
-- Jboxer5, 2024-05-06

### ****- "Great, but one annoyance"
There’s no way to open posts and links in Safari instead of the crummy in-app browser. It’s the only significant flaw,  but it’s a constant annoyance. Other than that it’s a 5 star app.
-- occasional downloader, 2024-05-01

### **--- "Blindingly white text"
I like the mechanics of it as an RSS reader but the tiny thing that’s killing me is the pure white text in dark mode (with a very dark background). Most app don’t-I think- use pure white and here the contrast is just too high to be readable for me. I tried all the themes and any other configuration option that might reduce the contrast a bit but couldn’t find one, so ultimately I couldn’t use it because it was killing my eyes.
-- rob.eden, 2024-04-29

### ***** "Almost perfect"
Fast, clean, usable.

Only thing missing is a built in read later list. Some days there are just too many interesting things to read. Other days there aren’t and I’d love to dip into a list of saved articles at that point.

Works great with my Miniflux instance (the greader API).
-- ❤ , 2024-03-29

### ***** "miniflux please"
miniflux please
-- jack10000001, 2024-03-13

### *---- "iCloud synching is horrible on iPad"
I use this on my iPhone primarily but also on MacBook and iPad. It syncs fine between iPhone and Mac. The iPad never updates the feeds. They have a tech help article that basically just blames apple for the problem.  I’ve never had an app have synching issues like this before. I guess you get what you pay for. I dumped feedly for this but I may have to keep looking. I want to like it but if it can’t be everywhere I need it to be then it’s not gonna work.
-- EastSideHorns, 2024-03-06

### ***** "UI is quirky but efficient"
Only app worth a heck apart from element. Wish there were thumbnails but hey it's great for brewing up opml docs that are more useful in desktop. Cheers
-- NeedMoreScreenSpace, 2024-02-12

### ***** "Coming from Feedly"
NetNewsWire doesn’t do everything Feedly does of course. But Feedly is far from perfect as well and the company behind it caters more and more to corporations. NetNewsWire offers almost everything I need and I actually use this feed reader for my job. The only thing missing for me are tags for saved items. Other than that I’m happy. I use the iCloud sync. I’ve installed the apps on my iPhone, iPad and two Macs. So far everything works flawlessly. I hope iCloud does its job reliably. As we all know that’s not always the case. Nothing NetNewsWire can do about it. Thank you to everyone involved in this app for making it possible!
-- Torben Friedrich, 2024-02-03

### ***** "How to stop updating one feed?"
Stop updating a feed manually until turn it on.

Another issue: Rename a feed, you should kill the app then reopen the app, the change applied.
-- BetterCallSaulGoodman, 2023-11-22
