## News Explorer Reviews in Japan

### ***** "ニュースアプリの決定版"
適当なニュースアプリを探していたらこれに行き着きました。Timeline Viewモードで記事がタイル張り表示されるので、ざっとニュースをチェックしたい自分はいつもこのモードを使っています。カスタマイズ機能が豊富に揃ってるので細かな調整もできると思います。ただ、デフォルトで設定できるニュースサイトがどれも英語圏のばかりなので日本語のニュースサイトを自分で探して登録するのは少々面倒臭い
-- Tag churn, 2024-12-22

### ***** "超级好用！"
之前下载了各种RSS工具，都不尽人意，后来放弃使用RSS了。今天我在AppRaven看到这款软件，看了看介绍果断付款，尝试使用了下非常满意。之前找的软件不兼容的订阅链接在News Explorer上完美兼容。
-- ねこにゃう, 2024-11-28

### ***-- "サムネイル"
開いてからサムネを読み込んでるのかサムネの表示が絶望的に遅い
またキャッシュされてないのか毎回読み込まれるためとにかくサムネ機能が使えない
それ以外はよく出来てます
-- 132239, 2020-03-28

### **--- "webページ更新の通知が来ない。"
アプリ上では、webページが更新されると反映されるようだが、携帯の通知には反映されない。
-- byvygv, 2020-03-02

### ***** "凄く良い"
RSSリーダーの中で1番だと思う。ただ、読めないながらも設定をいろいろ頑張ったんですが、どうしてもバックグラウンドでの更新をしてくれません。iPadOS13.3.1
