Reeder.

I was looking for something like this in a long time. Amazing app.

The _idea_ of getting rid of unread counts is cute but it’s not how reading news works. I don’t want everything interleaved into one feed and I want to mark some articles unread. It’s very broken for sites that bulk update their RSS feed and so swamp the timeline, it’s broken for low volume sites that get buried in high volume sites. It’s broken when sites are slow to respond and add data with old timestamps. On top of this the feed management controls aren’t up to the job so I can’t easily work around it.

I use Reeder on my iPhone and iPad and it’s excellent. The Mac version, however, is a bit disappointing. There is no way of showing unread counts and, more seriously, no way of showing items as have being read. For me, at least, this makes the app unusable. I hope this shortcoming will be addressed in an update.

The basic concept - bringing all of your media feeds together in a single app - is great but this is in no way ready for everyday use. The inability to jump to the top of your feed is infuriating, the lack of a tagging (or similar) system is bizarre etc. Stick to Classic and watch for updates : one day this will great but right now, it actually adds hassle.

Over time I think this app will be seen as an iconic moment in content consumption universe. Its concept, of being able to have one flow of the content that’s important to you supplemented by organisational tools is genius. There is lots of scope for further evolution but I’m really excited to be along for the ride.

Thanks for making your app useless, and adopting the money grab solution.

I have been using Reeder for many years. The latest is awesome as well, with a couple of caveats: missing widgets, and could use with a lifetime subscription.

I migrated from Reeder Classic and I wasn’t 100% sure at first, because I was sooo used to the paradigm of read/unread. However, having a sort of unified scroll feed that lets me browse stuff from blogs that I actually choose to follow has meant less mindless scrolling or pull-refreshing on other platforms. Can’t wait to see how the app continues to evolve and the subscription pricing couldn’t be more affordable!

With the folders feature this is now a great way to get your news. Still tweaking the set up but working great. 😎

I’m a long time Reeder fan and think this is an excellent new take on the app. It can comfortably replace my YouTube, Reddit, Podcast and BBC News apps. Once you understand the workflow it is great.
