Newsletter Reader by Meco

Now one of my favorite apps. Developer listens to feedback and updates just make this better and better.

I would rather pay than share all my info, and giving meso access to google account info

I subscribed so my daily news sources would all be in one place, but they always take several minutes to load and the app crashes often.

Great in concept but doesn’t really make it easier to get through my newsletters mainly because it crashes/closes regularly. The app remains visible in the app switcher it just exits out to the Home Screen. Way too frequently.

Performance of the app matters a lot for reading and it’s slow for my taste. Otherwise good concept. I have high hopes. Update: I am improving my rating because the team and customer support is very good. They keep following up and try to help. Give the app a try.

To make this ideal, and therefore worth paying for, I would love an option to have the newsletters narrated and able to be arranged in an automatic queue.

I dreamed of an app like this during the newsletter explosion over the last few years, so I’m really happy to be onboard and clear out my inbox while still reading all the newsletters I care about.

With the last update I have to reconnect gmail each time I open the app. I followed the instructions in the FAQ and contacted support. Sent 2 emails and never heard back. I like the app but support needs to be responsive to paid users.

I really liked the idea of this product, but in actuality it’s a frustrating setup. The site promises “connect all your gmail accounts” but there’s an undocumented limit of 3, which I ran into while receiving cryptic error messages (uh oh, something went wrong - try again or contact support). After contacting support, and spending two days back-and-forth, I finally get an email this morning from the developer Sean suggesting that I switch my newsletters on the extra accounts to one of their inbound email addresses. It’s incredibly promising, with a slick interface. But the issues during set up (constantly having to reconnect, multiple device failure, not realizing the max of three accounts, despite searching through FAQs, support docs, and web resources) left me unimpressed and looking for an alternate.

Great app, but you must purchase Pro to use a Gmail account after the trial period, and this is not clearly stated in their information. To use Meco for free, you must use a complimentary Meco email and resubscribe to your newsletters using that. Don’t forget to remove Meco’s access from your security settings if you have a Gmail account and don’t continue after the trial!
