Bulletin - AI RSS News

I like the experience very much, except for these: 1) settings are in a really weird place (fixed) 2) difficult to manage a lot of feeds, maybe search function would help, and a smaller font view 3) often the summary will include irrelevant info like copyright

RSS client I was dreaming about. How to sync feeds between my devices - ipad and iphone?

Love the idea of summarized articles but this is missing a few important beats that I hope they improve on. 1) no way to indicate like / dislike articles in For You to help fine tune the list ongoing 2) no way to feedback on length, completeness of summaries. Many are too brief and miss key points relevant for a summary, making reading the full article much more necessary and defeating the app’s purpose.

Ability to customize is great; feed level and article level summaries are well done and quick.

Now the app just freezes on start up. When I disable all network connectivity, it freezes again even after a cache reset.

The stories are not curated at all. You’d have to do a lot of work to make it yours.

It automatically becomes the default handler for .ics files so Calendar events don’t open in the correct app.

I’m not a big fan of how the feeds are displayed in the boxed squares. It seems like the developers could use some modern design skills to improve the app’s appearance.

The app works great on iPhone, but the TV app is in a perpetual state of loading… Please fix! Thank you

Update: I tried the free trial period and have determined that the AI summaries are very poor. They don’t summarize the main point of the article. It merely summarizes the beginning of articles which often do not get to the main point of the article in the first few paragraphs. The iPad still has the same horrendous UI with no customization in the app. —— I continually do not understand why RSS apps don’t use the full iPad screen in portrait orientation for reading articles. It should at least be an option to hide the sidebar. This issue alone makes it a hard pass from me. This app looks good at first, but after just a few minutes you realize how restrictive it is. It doesn’t allow you to hide categories and you can’t customize feeds beyond hiding them. It also doesn’t allow adding any feeds either as far as I can tell. And a personal nitpick of mine: I much prefer opening articles in Safari Reader view by default. It's a better UX in my opinion and provides consistency across the OS. It should at least be offered as option as some other apps do.
