SuggestionOption for light gradient top to bottom to help Visually distinguish one article from another article in the List feed view. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what picture goes with what article. The gradient would help distinguish each article in the list view. Maybe better isThe option to increase padding between articles in list view. Seems like the text and the pictures are so evenly spaced it makes browsing a bit of a chore. This is when the pictures are large like on an iPad. Another option to show the web view of an article. Reader review doesn’t always show the pictures that go with the web view. If this app had this feature it would be the end-all to other apps for me. Check out fiery feeds. It does both of these but that one lack some critical share features this app has. One of these two apps is so close to being perfect..SoundneedleVersion: 5.0.4

Life ChangingI have read more longform articles in the past few months of having reader than I have in my entire life. This app has single-handedly changed my entire approach to reading. As someone with executive function disorder it is extremely draining to read and this app completely revolutionize that aspect of my life. this app has become so consequential to my life that I am more than willing to pay for it and support the Reeder team in anyway I can. I want for this app to see regular innovation such as ways to more readily categorize “reading for later” as well as a more up-to-date tagging system and a PDF reader or conversion reader. anybody who struggles to read, struggles to stay focused while reading or has to read over and over again please consider this app as it has turned me into a voracious reader..Probably DavidVersion: 5.3.2

Great client!I have used Reeder for a very long time. Since the days of Reeder 3. Every big release gets better and better. Honestly, this app deserves the full 5 stars, but I have one big issue. Why is there no full support for VoiceOver? Currently I have to configure the app to work with it through the apple settings and it works good. But I think it would work much better if it was native. Being visually impaired, I can see well enough to tap through the menus and at least VoiceOver works when reading the article itself. I think this great app would appeal to more people if this accessibility feature was implemented. Other than that, love the app. I highly recommend it to those looking to buy it. And if you still use RSS, certainly this app is worth every penny..Abdiel OrtizVersion: 5.1

Love it except when doing initial sync on new devicesI’ve been using Reeder since it first came out and paid for each new release across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This is one of my few instant buy apps. The only downside which is rare is whenever I have to erase a device and reinstall or move to a new device the initial sync from iCloud feeds takes hours for me. I do have a lot of feeds and. Lot of saved and unread articles usually but it can sometimes take a day for the initial sync to complete. Again this is a rare instance but always happens in these instances..JMANTNVersion: 5.2.2

MehBetween Newsify snd Reeder, Newsify is the clear winner. It’s stood the test of time and in years I’ve not been forced to upgrade or ensure failed syncs. Reeder, however syncs much more data, when it works, but that sync is slow. IDK what determines the number of articles that are fetched but iCloud sync is insufficient. I use TheOldReader and syncing online (although very slow) pulls about 150K articles. I have a lot of feeds so that’s about right for me, but I wish it was adjustable. Today, TheOldReeder syncing stopped. It’s the same issue I had with Reeder 4 and why I upgraded to 5. Pull down for sync and the spinner stops within 2 seconds. Yes, I can delete and download again, however bc of the slow speed that means keeping the display alive long enough for it to complete..LAX20531Version: 5.0.5

Great RSS appI’ve used the app for years to follow blogs. A few months as go I added a separate account just to follow a few news sources. It’s greatly simplified getting the news. I scroll through the feed to see the headlines and read the articles I want. I have it set to mark as read in scroll, and then have the new account set to delete read items after a day. It’s a quick way to see the news, and I don’t have to see all the ads on news websites. If the rss feed for a source doesn’t include the whole article, I have it set to open in reader view. Thanks for this great app!.Noone99Version: 5.4

Lacks keyboard inputAfter using this app for a month, my initial impressions remain accurate. This app is designed for touch input. I primarily use it on my ipad with a keyboard attached, and really simple keyboard input is missing. I will also mention that there is very little documentation and my support emails to the developer went unanswered, something that is fine maybe for a free app but less so for a paid app *** Initial impressions: it seems like a solid RSS reader with a lot of pretty animations, etc. Some really basic controls seem to be missing, developer is a bit slow to respond to support questions. I plan to continue using this app for the time being..RedbaitVersion: 5.0.12

Features like iCloud Read Later are no longer workingICloud read later stopped working on the desktop months ago. More recently, it stopped working on the mobile app. No support responses from developer. It’s a shame, it’s a really great app UI and the functions that work, work well. Just feels like we’re being left in the dust with a paid app. Update: months later, This was fixed. No response (ever!) from developer on support requests, but the fixes were made. So the app works again, but the dev continues to be non-responsive..MojodeanVersion: 5.3.5

Fantastic RSS ReaderThis is my favorite client for all of my subscribed blogs and news sources. I love the ability to force “reader view” for subscriptions that only post a few sentences to the RSS feed. The only feature I wish it had was the ability to do quick notes. I don’t know how feasible that is, but it would make taking notes on articles so much better. (Highlighted text in quick notes would be a *huge* bonus, but I think that’s probably something only Safari can do?).DrewshaysVersion: 5.0.12

The developer listened, changing from 3 stars to 5Longtime satisfied user since reeder 3, was complaining about folders not able to rename thus rated this version 3 stars, 2 for app lack of real upgrade, 1 for old time’s sake. Then the dev listened and released some functions I was requesting, now a satisfied user again, changing my rating from 3 stars to 5. Btw, app is beautiful, but UX can be improved, the design logic for gestures/actions aren’t always the same, thus getting me a bit confused, mostly when editing folders or subscriptions..LionliesVersion: 5.0.3

Beautiful app, but adding next buttons on the sides would make iPad experience betterIn a previous version of Reeder the iPad version had previous and next arrows on the side of the screen while viewing an article. I wish the developer would bring this back and let you customize which side to put them. Also, I was and am happy to support the developer by purchasing every version along the way, but otherwise I don’t see any significant reason to upgrade from Reeder 4 other than widgets (if you use those)..NickabVersion: 5.0.1

ICloud sync has limit of 50 unread articlesLove the app and loved the idea of syncing via iCloud instead of a 3rd party tool. However, iCloud sync only seems to pull up 50 unread articles from each source, so any high volume RSS feeds are not working so well under iCloud and I am missing a ton of articles. Can this be fixed? For now, I’m still keeping my 3rd party app running just so that I can watch my high volume feeds. But it’s annoying to constantly have to switch between them. Please fix this!!.WxeeVersion: 5.0.1

ICloud syncing is now very brokenI have been using this app for years. Paying for upgrades and recommending it as best in class. Unfortunately it’s now been months since it has synced reliably. I use the app on iPad, Mac and iPhone. I rely on it being up to date and in sync. As I write this it last updated my feeds over 2 days ago on iOS and just spins and spins. I have reinstalled and re-downloaded. I have hoped the last few updates would solve this. I will have to move to a competitor if this isn’t properly resolved..S. PenmanVersion: 5.0.8

Great App, Very Refined, Under PricedI’ve been using various versions of this app for years. With each new version, the developers do an amazing job making it feel more fluid and fast with every iteration. It’s feature rich with everything you could hope for but none of the features get in the way of simply reading. I also appreciate how the app is tastefully customizable. Overall, this app is one of the best bargains on the App Store for the amount I use it..LeescoolVersion: 5.0.3

First impressions- signing in for accounts is strange as there isn’t an OK button. After tinkering with settings and scrolling down, there’s a delete account button. The other option is to tap on the X and go back and assume that the account has been added - setting up Pocket needs to be done twice as if you switch between sign up and login, I think it disrupts the process and doesn’t lead to the authorization page. I would suggest having it load the login page and not the sign up page first. - it would be nice if we could manually set the order of the accounts in the list of accounts that we are signed into - the icon will take some getting used to Can’t wait to explore the rest. Will update the review over time! Everything works so far..ThreesTrifectaVersion: 5.0

One of my most used apps, but I’ve got a problem…Something happened to the Twitter integration yesterday. It suddenly stopped syncing tweets. I realized that I haven’t seen any in over 24 hours. While investigating I tried logging out of Twitter in the app, but can’t get back to the login. It acts like it tries and then immediately fails to load a login screen. The other service login screens seem to appear normally though. Help?.Another someoneVersion: 5.4

So clean and noninvasiveThis app took me a short minute to figure out but that seems to be a fault of the sites you may try to follow, some of them require a little more digging to find the RSS link to add their feeds to the app. The app is very worth the up front cost to have a custom newsfeed that won’t shove its own ads in your face or push additional feeds that you didn’t ask for..Ripley231Version: 5.4

Great! But could use some quality of life featuresI bought this app for the bionic reading and I am SO happy with how it works. I understand this wasn't the originally intended purpose for the app but I use it to read longer form content. In Pocket (the app I'm using to import my reading) they have a highlight feature which you can use to save your place. If you could add a bookmarking or highlighting feature I would just be over the moon. As I can often lose my place if the app is closed or refreshed in the background. Even a word finder would be appreciated so I could copy the sentence I last read and then search for it later! So glad I spent the money on this but it would just do a TON for me to have those simple features that suit longer txt.💞.Spring_popVersion: 5.2.2

Pretty GoodImage Previews could use some improvement. Medium previews offers a square aspect ratio, but Large crops a lot of the image out. I wish Reeder had better handling of different aspect ratios so the entire image could appear within the Image Preview. I also have some issues with certain RSS feeds from Reddit consistently retrieving posts from years ago, despite continuing to Mark As Read. Otherwise, the app is pretty slick and modern. I like it..JakeUsernameIsTakenVersion: 5.4

Cannot find installed fontsI installed some fonts with a font manager app which installed in appStore. I can find those fonts in "ios > Settings > General > Fonts". But when I changing font in "reeder > Preferences > Reading > TEXT > Font > Custom" I wish Reeder could support install custom fonts by icloud Files、AirDorp and so on. Because my Common language is not English, I need change custom font for reading..坨小兔Version: 5.3

The best thing since Google ReaderI haven’t found anything I’ve liked/used as much as Google reader until I started using this. It’s a great way to look for something to read when I have a bit of time. Getting support for the new Matter app would be great, I’d love to just swipe to add the article to it instead of having to use iOS share feature..Ryan.wayVersion: 5.2.2

Thanks to the developerThis is a great update. I’ve used Reeder off and on for years but this update gives everything I think I need (at least for now). iCloud support, mark-as-read on scroll, automatic readability, custom fonts/sizes, etc. These are quality of life features but ultimately make the reading experience better than all other news apps. This combined with content neutrality, I highly recommend..Eric2k21Version: 5.0.4

Needs to move to an in-app purchase modelThe fact that each point-zero release of this app is a separate app is really annoying. I only found out about this latest version by accident. Instead of charging to download, just move the charge in-app to unlock it or whatever. That way you also don’t have to release the Mac version as an additional separate app. You’re lucky I’m a loyal user..James BaxterVersion: 5.0.1

Saves my life and time.Very solid app, plenty of options to customize. Doesn’t pidgeonhole you into creating an account and syncing your entire rss library through them. I would recommend checking the spelling under the reset option on Feeder’s settings - it should be “your data won’t be restored!” instead of “you’re data”. :) Good work!.AdvariumVersion: 5.0.7

Works greatSolid RSS reader. I like that it syncs across all my devices via iCloud without needing a third party service or account. The reader view, for sites that don’t provide the full article in their feeds, is excellent, though you can’t use it with hard-paywalled sites even if you have a subscription. I recommend it if you want a simple news reader app..Timwon93Version: 5.4

Good app but lacks some functionsIt maybe is the best RSS reader on iOS, but it still need to add some basic functions, such as selecting multiple articles and deleting them all at once, changing fonts for language outside English or reducing prompt’s displaying time while saving articles from safari to read later..与崩相仿Version: 5.4

Worth the Upgrade From 4Been holding out a good while, but figured I’d go ahead and upgrade with the new year. Being able to move from 3rd party (Feedly) and have feeds sync’d via iCloud is fantastic. Doesn’t do a great job of handling Instagram embeds in either default or Reeder view, hope that gets fixed soon with an update. Recommended nonetheless..ThechexicanVersion: 5.0.4

I was stuck on an old version of Reeder for a long time…I thought that Reeder was an abandoned project, hasn't had updates for years, so that was that. Finally went to the app store to buy a replacement.. and found this. On the one hand, thank you for not nagging. On the other hand… I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE NEW ONE SOONER IF I KNEW IT EXISTED. lol.RotopenguinVersion: 5.3.4

Gets stuck on one article after iOS 15 updateLoving this app so far but ever since updating to iOS 15, it only shows one article no matter which of the other news articles I try to read. Hope this gets fixed soon..SocialjamesVersion: 5.0.12

Love it but needI love Reeder! I have it on all my Apple devices. But I wish it’d support newsletters like Feedbin does. I’d be willing to pay $5 a month for newsletters support. It’s worth it to keep my inbox from getting cluttered and to support my RSS addiction lol. And email support on the website…I’ve never received replies to my emails..Davey OsborneVersion: 5.4

The best RSS app gets even betterI’ve used Reeder since version 2 was released in 2014, and, like it’s predecessors, version 5 of the app is the very best app in it’s class. The Reeder family of apps captures the essence of everything that defines exceptional Mac software; they are beautifully designed, incredibly responsive and — perhaps most importantly, they respect user’s privacy..Mac_User_01Version: 5.0.1

Loses cookiesIn a recent idea I no longer stay logged into websites through Reeder. Even if I sign in, if I close the in app browser and open it again I’m signed back out. This used to work. Follow up: Seems it was an iOS bug. I rebooted and cookies work again..MlasterVersion: 5.3.3

Useful and elegantly designed but…Mark above/below as read” has been very useful. I appreciate the feature :) The app is also elegantly designed. I enjoy reading articles with it. Wondering, though: Why not “Mark here and above/below as read”? It can remove the extra step of marking a selected article as read. Odd, but related: Articles marked read above/below a selected article marked read are removed from article list (as expected), but selected article stays in list (unexpectedly). I need to pull down on list for selected article to be removed. Another oddity: “mark all as read” marks all as read AND returns to list of feeds. I would expect to stay in same feed..Eas2156Version: 5.1

The best RSS reader just got betterReeder is hands down my favorite RSS app, and this is another fantastic update to an already amazing app. iCloud syncing works flawlessly, the new design feels fresh, modern and clean, and there’s no *bleeping* subscription, which by itself is enough to make me want to support this app and developer. Oh, and widgets. 👍.Deniable PlausibilityVersion: 5.0

A great, great RSS clientReeder is powerful, yet beautiful. It has the smoothest animations, takes true advantage of ProMotion, and provides for a comfortable reading experience. iCloud sync is phenomenal, too; I’ve never had it fail. It always works, it’s instant, and it’s beautiful. Reeder is a delightful RSS client, and it’s worth every penny..EshuMarneediVersion: 5.4

Slick design, one time fee!I love that there is a one time fee for use. I sync my Feedly to this and set up a swipe gesture to save to Pocket. I will also explore using the new read it later feature in the app. This works for me and it works perfectly..Tim DonnerVersion: 5.3.2

Great app, but a suggestion!Awesome app, but it would be cool to be able to add Twitter feeds. There are a few accounts I’d like to specifically follow and I know there are a few ways to get around it. But having that functionality baked right in would be absolutely amazing..Happycamper938582Version: 5.0.10

Quality quality qualityReeder app continues to dominate in quality, appearance, customization, and features. Happy to continue to support on MacOS and iOS. Appreciate that the app is kept a one time but would be willing to pay monthly as I use it multiple times per day!.Maclover009Version: 5.0

Great time saverGreat app, I no longer scroll hacker news and other news sites all day. Now I have them set up as RSS feeds and I scroll through all my feeds in a few minutes 2-3 times a day. Bought the Mac app too, love that as well!.BabidobaVersion: 5.3.1

Background refresh is working nowBut it takes few days to get it working. Maybe developers should mention this from the very beginning instead of letting people have to dive into the support page..GLAZEHAZEVersion: 5.0.4

Double ImagesDecent newsreader, a number of helpful features, but also, a few unfortunate quirks. The biggest is that images for many feed sources are duplicated when using “reader view” (a must for easy reading). This has been an issue for a long time, but the developer is unresponsive..AyampolsVersion: 5.4

Superb!Highly-recommended. RSS forever! The way to go for busy people that actually read articles. Hoping in the future it offers Twitter post integration so we don’t have to directly visit that SM platform ever (time a-wasting)..2EvanVersion: 5.0.4

Reeder 5 Negative Reviews

Still no shortcut to read laterSo much to love but one major issue that is so frustrating. When in your feeds such as Feedly, etc, the bottom bar has starred, unread, archived but is missing Reading List. So no easy way to quickly get to your Reeder Read Later list other than swiping back multiple time then choosing reading list drilling down then having to do that in reverse to get back to the feeds and then doing that everytime all day when going back and forth. Everytime there is an update I check the release notes hoping finally there will be a button to get to the read later list when in your feeds, but so far no luck. Would be a 5 star app otherwise..ApplelightsVersion: 5.0.12

Developer has abandoned app.Regrettably, it would seem that the developer has abandoned Reeder. He is completely unresponsive to users who have reported major issues with Reeder. At one point in time, this app used to be the best in class RSS reader on iOS; now, it’s riddled with show-stopping bugs and is completely unusable. As just three examples: background sync doesn’t work at all; mark all as read doesn’t work at all; and mark read on open, under a tag, always displays empty/missing content. I would recommend Unread or Fiery Feeds instead. Those apps have a dev that actually care about maintaining their apps and both of them have been updated within the last two weeks, unlike Reeder which hasn’t been touched in many months..FhoxhVersion: 5.4

Widget/Background Refresh Rarely Work, If At AllSince iOS 14 I’ve been looking to find more apps with useful widgets and was happy to see reeder add them. Unfortunately the widget has been anywhere from mostly to entirely useless. Initially, the only way that the widget populated content for me was if I opened the app and manually pulled the feeds then, upon exiting the app, the widget would show whatever I had left unread. Since the last update, it seems like that does not work any more. The background refresh never seems to work, so the majority of the time the widget just sits there empty. reeder has always been a great RSS app but I really only paid for the update to get the widgets, if they’re fixed my opinion of the app would go up considerably..Chipsahoey86Version: 5.0.3

Background refresh never worksUpdate: I’m downgrading this from 3 to 1 stars and probably deleting the app. I haven’t used it in about a month so when I open the app it’s showing me articles from that long ago while it seems to be downloading EVERY article since then. So, my only option is to let this sit here updating while I make a cup of coffee. It’s just not usable for me at all :( - Reeder is easily my preferred RSS reader. However, it’s lack of background refresh is quite frustrating. I often have to wait more than a minute for it to catch up on the days articles. Not sure why there’s a specific option in settings for background refresh when it doesn’t do anything..OxjoxVersion: 5.2.2

App needs some updatesThe app is pretty looking. Nice animations but that’s it. It’s slow to load articles (with just 25 feeds only) post images many times don’t load when scrolling through the list. When trying to get full article text, is a hit or miss. The app definitely need some updates. However, it hasn’t been updated in a year. It could be an abandoned app now..Jfelipe83Version: 5.4

Almost greatnessBeautifully designed and works flawlessly except for the fact that switching out of the app while reading an article causes Reeder to lose track of that article. I am often need to switch out of the app while viewing an item. I return to find that Reeder has marked the item as “read” and cleared it from the feed. It’s generally too much effort to track the item down again. Fix that and I’m back as a user..StupeflyVersion: 5.0.4

App does to provide any supportIn general I like this app. Been using it for several years. That being said, there are bugs, and I found many annoying ones that never get fixed. In addition, there is no customer support. In the last few years, I contacted support three times and I have yet to receive a reply. I’m knocking off three stars for the lack of support..Rambo8649Version: 5.4

Will give 5 stars when bookmark and place holder is introducedWill give 5 stars when bookmark and place holder is introduced. When pausing an article, the app doesn't have a tool to bookmark the location of the article where I paused, therefore, I regularly lose my place in the article because I can’t remember where I was holding. Please introduce the ability to bookmark the reader’s location. I’m sure that I’m not the only one with this issue..HessshheyrVersion: 5.4

ICloud Syncing stopped workingICloud syncing stopped working on my iPhone few weeks ago and I had to delete and reinstalled the app several times trying to fix the issue, but all efforts have failed. Reeder used to be my favorite news app, and I still using the Mac OS app, but have to look for a new alternative to replace it on my iPhone. I’ve simply lost my patience waiting to have it fixed, maybe will try again when the Reeder 6 come out..Vincentmeng@dinseyVersion: 5.1

Still brokenThe issues that were in version 4 (that I reported to the developer) are still in version 5. Find a better app, I know I will. This time I was fooled it’s “shame on me”. And it’s slower. Yay! :( P.S. I went back to Reeder 3 - it’s a delight!.A. PonymousVersion: 5.0.1
