after using for a couple of months now, I think the overall functions and appearance of this reader is best suited to me than other readers. I love the design which nicely balances tailoring to individual preferences with overall appearance. It is my preferred news & feed content consumption on the ipad. The apple-orientated design principles are there in way that surpasses other cluttered and unnecessarily complex readers.
Great RSS reader. It does everything I want it to and more. I bought it for the iCloud sync, which works great. I was fed up with either paying for a syncing service or giving away my data to the likes of Feedly. Think about it. With a list of the feeds you subscribe to and which articles you save and star, they can build a pretty good profile to sell your data to advertisers and who knows what else. With News Reader you don’t need any third parties collecting your data. It’s all within iCloud. The only thing I don’t like, and as petty as it sounds, it does drive me a bit insane, is that the app icon is horrendous. Seriously, get a good designer to create something nice. This one is the worst looking icon on my devices.
I really enjoy using NewsExplorer for so many reasons however a couple of issues still persist and continue to detract from the user experience. Firstly is the refresh times and the inability for background refresh to work as described. Secondly is the regular freezing of the app, typically upon opening for the first time but often whilst in the middle of reading articles. I also use the Mac version of the app and have none of these issues. Keen to see these issues resolved in a future update.
I am not receiving any notifications for a website whose feed is perfectly operable on other apps. Money back please. I didn’t get what I paid for.
Not as good as the price and description promises but I just tried the top 20 serverless RSS readers on the App Store and this is the best so far. Feedback: - some feeds just never load any content - no export subscriptions to OPML option
The reading experience of the app is quite good, but it is let down by an unreliable and opaque sync system. It seems I can never get this iOS version to accurately sync article status with the Mac version. I hope some further refinement will improve this, as this app seems the best option for getting away from a subscription-based server-side solution. *UPDATE*: Based on developer response and improved subsequent performance I have upgraded my rating. A few interface enhancements and beautification would push this to 5 stars.
For whatever reason most RSS readers, don’t let you filter your feed unless you pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee. News Explorer lets you filter out parts of the RSS feed! That simple feature is key in eliminating ads or sponsorship content and irrelevant posts.
I recently switched to this one after a decade or more with Feedly. Got fed up with Feedly's shift toward an elusive corporate market. News Explorer works great and has most of the features of Feedly. Thankfully no AI, which produced the weirdest nonsense with Feedly. Couple of things and I would be as happy as can be: * Separate view options per feed. For some feeds I just want to see the headline, for others a magazine view works best * Ability to forward newsletters to the app. This is a Feedly feature I'm sorely missing. * Streamline the viewer engines. I don't really get why there are three or so options for viewing a page.
Great app! Definitely a fresh quick and nice UI. Takes time to adjust to some things after switching from reeder. Some suggestions: 1. Allow to sync the settings. For example I like to mark as read right after I open the article. I have a few macs, and just going through the settings is a bit annoying. 2. Everything is about AI, I believe you can just get very small ML Model like llama 3.2 1b and use it to summarize the articles similar how Safari does it. Will be a great feature.
