Amazing app Worth every penny

sathish394 on

India

A must have app which virtually don’t have any competition. Each and every update surprises with practical features. A big salute to the developer for deeply understanding the reading experience from user point of view. One must blindly subscribe if u are into freak.

Marvellous

Most beautiful minimal & simple rss reader ever

Minimalist Fluid RSS Reader

This is a simple RSS Feed app with all the fluid gestures and good themes. Pleasant for reading.

Expensive

best rss reader ever. period.

- clean and minimalist ui/ux. - super easy to use one handed. - background caching works like a dream. - very responsive developer who's always open to questions.

Information density sorely lacking.

SilverRubicon on

United States

The layout of the app is hardcoded to font size. If the smallest font size is selected, information density does not change rather the amount of whitespace in the app increases. Which is a horrible design decision. One which apparently will not be fixed as it has remained consistent since the app was acquired by the current developer. This may seem like a small complaint but in the age where 11"+ iPads exist, it's simply ludicrous.

Navigation/UX is unintuitive, but the article viewer is 10/10

enklined on

United States

I don’t care much for the design of the app and find the UX to be unintuitive, but the reader/display of articles in the best I’ve tried out of a half-dozen or so RSS apps - it’s really freaking good! I just wish the dev would add integration with Miniflux API, for that sweet, sweet, mark on scroll functionality that fever cant offer.

Almost perfect

Hrtl on

United States

UI and gestures are buttery smooth and I love it. Full text extraction works really well and is presented beautifully. I would prefer some additional options for user customization, especially with the font. I do not like the default font in this app and there is no option to change it. Please update to allow for font customization! 🙏🏻

Nice Design

Ringold86 on

United States

The app seems well designed, a different take on the RSS reader. I didn’t get to really give it a complete try though because I use miniflux, which supports fever and google reader APIs. Unread supports only fever of the two, and fever doesn’t support marking read on scroll. That’d be okay if there were other effective if there were perhaps other options, like “mark read all articles above” or below the selected article, but if there were such options I couldn’t find them. I’d love to give it another go if another compatible api was added.

From a long-time NewsBlur user

classicalgas on

United States

I’ve been an avid and mostly happy NewsBlur user for over a decade. Despite my enthusiasm, zero percent of the friends I recommended it to declined to adopt it due to the complexity of the UI. Their loss, but there are issues to be sure. So when I recently discovered that I could continue using NewsBlur with my nearly 500 subscriptions I was intrigued. Now, after a week of using Unread as a front end I am quite happy. The Unread UI is clean and orderly, and the performance (once my recent articles have been refreshed) is good. I confess I’ll miss having each feed’s icon displayed, and I also lose all of the training I’ve done on NewsBlur. But Unread renders my articles better (after tuning with the Display option, which is brilliant) which eliminates some of the frustrations with NewsBlur. I’ll probably continue to rely on NewsBlur, at least for a while, to avoid the drudgery of copying all my subscriptions over to Unread. This was a great find!
