News Explorer Positive Reviews

Internet ZenBig pros: 1. Everything is just smooth, clean, and works so well. 2. Keyboard functionality on Mac is handy. 3. The appearance customization is excellent. Menu bar, dock icon, notifications, thumbnails, lines of text, spacing, etc is all so great. 3. The timeline view is handy for certain use cases, like viewing news broadly or browsing movie releases. Features I'd request for the future (to keep up with other reader apps and the personal knowledge management trend): 1. Custom read/unread keep dates for different folders. 2. Subfolders, please!!! You'd be a pioneer for RSS readers. 3. Bionic reading. 4. PDF import. 5. Highlights/annotations, with a smart folder of all highlighted articles. 6. The ability to copy all highlights or sync them to note apps like Obsidian. 7. Rules/filtering, like including or excluding specific keywords. 8. Newsletter functionality, like an auto-generated email to be able to send newsletters to the app. 9. Text to speech audio that works during phone lock. Auto-jumps to next post. 10. Tagging, such as manually setting them when adding the RSS. 11. Reading progress for abandoned articles. Maybe in the post preview or in their own top folder/section, with the percentage that is complete for the post. Thanks again for everything in the app so far, it's a pleasure to use!.RoscomcmillanVersion: 1.20

Love this appI have been using various RSS readers for many many years at this point using aggregators like feedly after google shut their RSS service down. I have been using the Reeder app for iOS and Mac for the most part (also excellent) but I moved everything over to this app. I love that it illuminates the dependency on feedly, end it works seamlessly and like butter across all of my iOS devices. Meanwhile the RSS reader features are great as well including the various ways to mark articles as read Amongst all the other configuration options. I am looking forward to a little bit more functionality on the watch app as I like to use that when I’m waiting in line at a store or at a stoplight or whatever. Nice job developers.Keggman12Version: 1.8.14

Finally. This is it.Wow. Finally. I'm a UI snob. I've used RSS since it was developed. I've used the iPad since is was introduced, and instantly I realized it was the perfect RSS reading device. And now, after all this time, I've finally found an app that meets my expectations. I wanted something that uses as much core Apple technologies and UI style as possible. I wanted flexible themes text sizes. I didn't want the UI to be "unique". The best design is "invisible" meaning you don’t notice it because you're fully engaged with your task, and it's not getting in your way. This is it. It's not without fault. Putting feeds in folders is a total pain. But that's something you do rarely. I'm giving it a pass and 5 stars because it is much better than the competition, and allowed me to drop an aggregator subscription. I even had an excellent interaction with support (the dev himself) when I couldn't figure out my OPML file. He showed me what I was doing wrong. Bravo..~bcVersion: 1.8.9

Absolutely worth the priceI tried a couple of RSS readers and settled on this one. It took me a bit to configure the app to my liking, but after you get it set up it just works. The interface is customizable, articles are comfortable to read, and there’s no subscription. Your data just syncs with iCloud. The watch app is greatly appreciated too, it can show full article text and works well. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten more value out of an app, I use it every day and don’t regret it.AmpersandoVersion: 1.10.2

Great app just keeps improvingGreat News reader. Period. Hands down, best I’ve been able to find, and the best since Net NewsWire circa 2009. Structured list reading however *you* want to set it up. If you’re like me and you want to read the feeds you know you want to read, not some machine-learning “tell me about your interests” thing... this is for you. Subscriptions are all local too - no third party cloud server back end, no account to create. It’s 100% on your devices. Phenomenal support. The dev responds quickly to support emails, and continues to refine and rev the product. Sync is solid and fast and uses iCloud. Worked great on my iPhone 6 and iPhone X, works great on my iPhone 12 Pro, iPad mini, and MBP. i use this app to keep up on my industry, and the world, every single day. If you read news, you owe it to yourself to download and try it out..FM_MVersion: 1.9.17

Amazing appEvery time I go to use this app I’m always pleasantly surprised by how it’s able to do everything that I set out to accomplish. There’s no searching around for what I’m looking for, or trying to find workarounds. This app is incredibly well thought out and the settings are so detailed I felt it was actually worth the time to write this review. Of all the RSS readers I tried before settling on this one, I have zero regrets that I went with this app. Everyone should be aware of it and how great it is..Trevor[0]Version: 1.9.7

Nice UI, tons of useful custom settings, easy to useThis is one of my favorite RSS readers. I love its simple UI, because it is so friendly to users. Compared to other RSS reader apps, it has more available minor tweaks that can be tailored to your particular template with your favorite font, font-size, line-height , read mode, etc. And it’s smooth and effective both on iPad and iPhone, I can enjoy the pure RSS reading without any disturbance. Finally, I must thank developer for keeping releasing update. 👍.LovsurfeVersion: 1.9.8

Love the app - liked the old icon :)I love the app. It’s been solid and syncs perfectly between my iPad and iPhone. The feature additions have been very welcome. Photo handling in-line has gotten slouch better over the years. I did like the old app icon much better than your new one though :) and if that’s the only complaint a user can come up with, you’re doing a great job. Thanks for the app. I use it constantly..Electric_DreamscapeVersion: 1.11.2

The Best for RSSThis is the best news feed reader out there, and I’ve tried them all. It doesn’t require you to create an account, has no subscription fees, and syncs/works across all your iOS and macOS devices. Plus the developer is super responsive and keeps up with all the latest iOS features. My only request would be for a universal search from within the app. But you can always exit the app and search from Siri... so 🤷‍♂️..Universal BinaryVersion: 1.9.6

Best RSS Reader I’ve Ever UsedNewsExplorer has an intuitive interface and good organization. You can see all unread articles from all the different sources on the same screen or just focus on one at a time. It syncs to my Mac and Apple Watch and iPad. Best of all, it has a fair pricing model. Buy it once and use it forever! I’m so fatigued by those subscription apps out there trying to eat away at my paycheck..VicrheadVersion: 1.9

The best there is.The title says it all. I’ve tried numerous RSS feed readers….This one can take just about anything you can throw at it. It’s great….and let’s not even get into customization…..the things you can change around and tweak with satisfy the pickiest of nerd….this app has a permanent home on this iPhone. Thanks devs!.Mert_63Version: 1.10.2

Mark As Read IssuesOverall, I like this news reader. There are many source options. I don’t turn to it as my primary reader because of the Mark as Read issues. When I try to mark articles, or an entire news source, as read using the button - it is very inconsistent on whether it will work or not. Sometimes articles will immediately be marked as read, and sometimes I could tap the button ten times and nothing will happen..BrandonLNVersion: 1.8.14

Please bring...Ability to mute certain posts by keywords. For example, I don't want to read news about the Kardashians from my favorite news source. I want those posts to automatically be muted and not appearing in the feed. Can you please add the ability to hide/mute by keywords? This is the only thing missing to be a 5 stars app..XRobertoxVersion: 1.11.3

Outstanding options. Suggestions —>1. Add ability to filter/save searches into “smart” folders 2. Add ability to tag. Ideally tagging a parent feed will pass on to child articles. 3. Add ability to add a single feed to multiple folders (Eg: WSJ:politics goes into Politics AND News folders). This will differentiate from all the other major RSS competitors. I’ve tried them all!.Unsure about UnSyncVersion: 1.9.17

This is a fantastic RSS readerNo subscription required, and it keeps getting every feature I could want. This is truly a well supported app. Two niggles: the starred, all, and unread items in the sidebar and bottom of the screen confuse me because you can get in odd stated (ie “unread starred items” and that’s usually not what I want. Also: I really dislike the iOS icon. The big blurred N grates in my home screen..CatOne_Version: 1.9

Top rateThe developer really took the time to realize what a reader should be like. This app is everything that I wanted. Low overhead and no fluff of the other "subscription" models while allowing for ease of use in adding your own sources. Add in a small thing like true dark mode and it's very enjoyable experience..YankeeBoBoVersion: 1.8.4

Articles Don’t Stay “Read”Love the design and was even willing to forgo a web viewer to use this app. The problems I had were that the sync when you open the app is incredibly slow and that I’d mark all items in a feed as read and hours later when I looked again I’d have new items in feeds as well as the items I’d marked as read previously showing as unread. Incredibly frustrating..OSUMaverickVersion: 1.8.9

Really like the new updateThe new release with mastodon support is so slick. iCloud sync seems faster as well. It’s so nice to see an update. This app has held my news and blogs and other rss stuff for years. Now with mastodon support I can take rss feeds for accounts I want. Nice!.MikesplacesVersion: 1.20

Not “another” news appClean interface, fast response, great design. I was using the macOS app first and loved it so much I wanted to try this app and am not disappointed. Maybe get a “trial” going for people, because no doubt they’ll purchase! 👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽.JOSEPHUNGAVersion: 1.11.2

RSS and Read LaterIt's great for managing and reading RSS feeds. I've also added my Instapaper RSS feed, so it's become my Read Later app as well, cutting down on the number of apps I have to use to consume news and information. I'm hoping for more color theme options in the future..Kevin T.Version: 1.9.8

Missing refresh button that was on the bottom rightBeen using and loving it now for a few years or so on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Easy to use and feds synched across all 3 platforms. The last version however removed the refresh button from the lower right when in the Unread Items screen. Yes, there is resync on the left but I do not want to resync, I just want to refresh my unread list easily to determine if there are any unread left. Please bring it back Update: developer responded informing where refresh is located now. Works great!!!.ErikBelgVersion: 1.8.11

BEST Aggregator on the market!!!!This is the best. All your news, twitter, technology, information, recipe pies feeds in one app. Look at everything at once or individual. Add what you want or search for what you want and add it. Sync it, you name it, this app is great!!.This is NO STAR PRODUCTVersion: 1.11.3

No twitter supportLowering my rating from 5 to 4 because they just removed the twitter support. Keeping up with twitter without RSS is impossible. If it’s too expensive put a membership or something just for it but don’t cut users out of it. I’m looking for another RSS now just because of this… 🙄.Afern247Version: 1.20.1

Great for staying up to date with news!I checked out multiple RSS feed readers before deciding on this one. It’s very straightforward and easy to use, does a good job of organizing my feeds and doesn’t have the distracting clutter of many RSS feed readers. Keep up the great work!.Leo LyonVersion: 1.9.7

Great AppThis is by far the best news app I have used throughout the years. I highly recommend it to any news junkie no matter the type news you enjoy. Only draw back is no web client or windows 10 app..Ap73Version: 1.9.7

Great appI have used various RSS apps and this is hands down my favorite. It’s fast and reliable . I am a precious feedly user and discovered this app when they got behind a paywall. Wish I had discovered it sooner.ExodusoVersion: 1.11.3

$5 well spentOnce set up this is by far the best RSS app I have ever owned. Thank you for this awesome app that lets me get my news from my chosen sources without all the ads or popups that my adblocker is on. Highly recommended..johnny5Version: 1.9.8

Multiple Sources is FantasticThe ability to add sources from many platforms saves time and the interface is easy to use..Zentron3000Version: 1.11.3

Only 3 days loads (((I read the news only once a week, for example on Saturday, but when I open application news loads only for the last 3 days, it's upsets me a lot ((( I want to download all the news for a week from one source, not just for 3 days. What should I do? Help me please.SyldysVersion: 1.11.3

Great rss app!Please add more customization options to the fantastic timeline view, I want bold title text like the article view and option to remove summary, also “mark read on scroll option”. Fantastic app..Codename_wVersion: 1.9.1

The Best!My favorite news aggregator! An excellent product with all the features and functionalities gathered in a professional way, elegant and that offers a light years user experience ahead of others. Congratulations!.WaltervianacomVersion: 1.9.17

The best RSS ReaderI tried so many rss readers that were based on services such as inoreader and else, so with news explorer it’s the first time you can sync you rss feeds with icloud sync and it’s so brilliant and smooth. The dev is also so responsive and supportive..@3DimensionVersion: 1.8.11

Top native iOS rss appApp is maintained on a regular basis. The developer is responsive to support requests (I received a response within an hour of the request). Syncs via iCloud so what I read on my iPhone is synced to my MacBook. Nothing not to like..Prk60091Version: 1.8.11

My no. 1 appI don’t write many reviews but I had to on this one. I use this more than any other app, great way to browse the topics I have. An interest in. Perfect app and great customer support to boot! Thanks to the developer.Terri&ricVersion: 1.8

Perfect, private RSSGreat sync to multiple devices over iCloud, while the interface lets you quickly get through articles..MarczakVersion: 1.9.17

Excellent app with OPML supportHave used this app for a couple of years now. When I needed assistance, they responded and had a fix with a few hours. Happy customer..FunkyblueferretVersion: 1.9.10

Best News ReaderEasy to use, syncs between devices seamlessly, lots of options and flexibility. Plus the developers are super responsive and friendly!.Cori.schlegelVersion: 1.9.10

I wanted to like itBeautiful design, and plenty of good features, however the syncing doesn’t always work well, and it’s not very fast. I have about 20 RSS feeds I follow, so it’s not a huge amount. Between my iPad, iPhone & Apple TV it just doesn’t seem to sync accurately. Switching back to Reeder..EricloVersion: 1.7.3

Bye RSS Subscription ServicesDoes it have a web interface? No, but it’s better than whatever it is you’re using right now. This is how RSS should be in 2019..ScottFromNYVersion: 1.8.14

Review NaggingNagging for a review, especially frequently, is obnoxious. I think I’d spend more time on things like making sure the avatar image you are showing for a feed post is the correct avatar..AVonGaussVersion: 1.11.3

Cool appSeems good so far, but when I read my news from timeline mode, it doesnt let me read the articles in the app like in the list view? Why is this?.KkuikkaVersion: 1.8.9

Simple yet customizableTried half a dozen rss apps on iOS and OS X, each one had some sort of dealbreaker issue while doing most things right. It comes down to personal preference on what works for you. This one is simple, customizable, has all the important features and functions, doesn’t try to upsell you for more features, and most importantly it renders text and images very well. One purchase covers your for iPad and iOS devices..FilllypillymynillyVersion: 1.10.2

One of The Best RSS ReadersNews Explorer is a highly capable RSS reeder that utilizes iCloud sync and supports RSS, ATOM, JSON, and Twitter feeds. The application is responsive and looks good on all the supported platforms. Sync is pretty quick, though doesn’t offer the performance some competitors do by allowing a single instance to do the RSS fetching while the others just sync with iCloud. Article display is great with a variety of typography options to tweak it to your preference, while alternative views such as slideshows and a “timeline” view are nice additions. The app feels at home on iOS devices and has continued to get a bit quicker, more stable, and pleasant to use over time. One notable omission for a modern iOS app is shortcut support. I’d love to see the ability to use Shortcuts to filter articles by folder/feed/status and be able to do things like get their title, URL, and mark/unmark them as read. All in all, News Explorer is a really solid RSS app that’s available across all the Apple platforms. I’m not sure if it’s “the best” at any one aspect, but it’s easily one of the best contenders as an all-around RSS feed reader..Bazokajoe_2kVersion: 1.11.2

Worth it!Normally, I only buy apps if there is a way to try them before (free version or trial). So I did tons of research before buying this one and seing the positive feedbacks, I bit the bullet. I am very happy that I did as it has everything I need and the one-time purchase (no subscription) makes it very affordable. A big thank you to the developers!.SphynxCatVersion: 1.10.2

Simply the best RSS reader!Tried them all. News Explorer is the best definitely the best. Love the deep Twitter integration! Great for following YouTube feeds too!.BrucegodinVersion: 1.9.17

Tried them all.News Explorer is the best. No doubt..Bsek80Version: 1.9.16

Pleasant surpriseRecently switched to News Explorer from Feedly and I couldn’t be happier. Opened my app today and saw the new action buttons at the bottom of my feed (v1.9.3). Thanks for those! I knew I wanted such a feature, but to find them there one morning having yet asked for them gets you five stars..CichlisuiteVersion: 1.9.3

This 5 star for the developerWhenever you submit your feedbacks to developer they normally get ignored but really impressed that my recent feedback got heard so soon and they have implemented total black for X and have an option to reduce the title size. Thanks..NilsejVersion: 1.8.4

Superb RSS ReaderSeems like NE 2.0 is upcoming. Love the new Unread count at the top of the page - latest update. All we’re missing is Sort by Unread (Folders and Feeds). No prob whatsoever shelling out more money for big updates to support the excellent Dev (We’d say no to Subcriptions though; we have enough of them)..2EvanVersion: 1.9.11

Great appBut give me the option to set swipes. You have to swipe a bit, then tap on “More” then tap “Mark as Unread”. I just want to swipe as unread! 5 stars when swipe actions can be changed. I wondered about the swipes. It does take from Mail swipes, but only in one direction, the opposite of what I had set up! I just have to train myself to swipe the other direction now!.BrightonPeteVersion: 1.8.2

News Explorer Negative Reviews

Something happened and it simply stopped workingUPDATE: I finally had to delete this app from all my devices because it simply began refusing to sync. Sometimes I would let it go for an hour and it would not sync my feeds. The app would lock up and I would have to force quit. It also cause some websites to think I was a robot trying to access the site and force me to solve a captcha just to read an article. My other news readers don’t do this. I tried EVERYTHING I could find on the dev’s website and nothing. I have no idea what happened but this clean, efficient app simply does not work any longer on my iPhone, iPad, or iMac. Sorry I had to abandon it. This, quite simply, the best RSS news reader I have ever seen. With two very reasonable, non-subscription purchases, I have News Explorer running on EVERY Apple device I own. No third party account is needed (uses iCloud for syncing). Responses from the dev are quick, helpful, and friendly. Please support this developer and product..AstroclubguyVersion: 1.10.2

Decent app but browsing through articles is cumbersomeI have feeds from various news sites and Reddit, And the "next" button is at the bottom left corner.. And operating with one hand is nearly impossible because it is too close to left thumb and too far from the right thumb.. and there is open space in the middle! I asked the developer to make the UI better (by moving the next/previous buttons to the center) or make it customizable.. but the developer declined. Other than the UI elements.. the app is very good.. but UI needing two hands and developer response made me give 2 stars to the app!.Nik2002Version: 1.9.10

No Inoreader supportNews Explorer is a good RSS app, but I use Inoreader as a backend. I was disappointed to realize there's no sync support for it. Unfortunately, the app forces you to use iCloud which isn't an viable option because I have filters in place on Inoreader before they reach client apps. News Explorer devs should focus on adding sync support for Inoreader, Feedly and others because quite frankly, pretty much every other app provides this..Nino V.Version: 1.11.3

Push notifications only work when app is openI thought this reader was going to be great because it had good ratings and push notifications. After setting it all up I only seem to get push notifications when the app is left open for some reason and for that I have to give it a 1 star rating..BugsfbunnyVersion: 1.9.10

One super annoying feature.Leaving a 2 star review of an otherwise excellent app, because apparently if I don’t leave a rating, it will continue to interrupt me with a pop up asking me to rate it. Careful what you ask for..SglewisVersion: 1.10.1
