User Reviews for Reeder 5

Take my money!

The new iCloud based sync is working flawlessly! I’m glad I can finally drop using a third party.I love this app. I’ve used versions of it for years. Pretty sure since the first version. It’s always incrementally improved with each version in ways that continue to be worth the price. And with the exception of a brief period a few years back, there have always been bug fixes and enhancements. Even version 4 was recently patched.I have an older Mac with version 3 running and it still works. I rarely use it (it’s just a server Mac mini now), but it is a testament that each version is quality and no one is forcing anyone to update to the latest version. And glad there is no subscription that would prevent that!However, I’m happy to buy both the new iOS and Mac versions to continue to support a quality app from a quality, indie developer! And of course have the iCloud sync everywhere. Wishing much continued success!

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.

Still no shortcut to read later

So 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.

Widget/Background Refresh Rarely Work, If At All

Since 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.

Old items never deleted prevent syncing

The main feature of this version of Reeder is the syncing through iCloud. Unfortunately it seems to be vastly dysfunctional. Old items in the iCloud storage are never deleted, resulting in an extremely slow sync to the point when I never see new items in my feeds anymore.Of course I reported the issue months ago and never ever heard back. I look at each update with hope to see a fix, but nothing yet… At this point the app is pretty much useless to me. The Mac version of the app exhibits the same problem, but at least, despite an agonizingly slow sync, it eventually manages to display the new items.

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.

Love it except when doing initial sync on new devices

I’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.

Meh

Between 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.

Great App, Very Refined, Under Priced

I’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.

The developer listened, changing from 3 stars to 5

Longtime 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.

Description

Keep control of your news reading with Reeder, RSS reader and read later client in one app, now with support for iCloud syncing. FEEDS Sync all your feeds and articles with iCloud. Reeder 5 comes with a built-in RSS/Feeds service which will keep everything in sync on all your devices.

Of course, this is optional. You can still just use one of the many third-party services supported by Reeder or just RSS (without sync). READ LATER This is Reeder's built-in read later service which stores all your data securely in iCloud. A sharing extension allows you to add links from outside of Reeder. BIONIC READING A higher dimension of reading. With Bionic Reading you read texts with more focus, awareness, and sustainability. Read more about Bionic Reading at bionic-reading.com. WIDGETS View most recent articles, configurable to only show items from feeds, folders, searches (for services that support searches) or tags (for read later services). MARK AS READ ON SCROLL With version 5, Reeder finally supports marking items as read while scrolling. Off by default, this can be enabled on a per-account basis. READER VIEW Enter Reader View (for feed items and read later links that support this) for a clutter-free reading experience directly in Reeder's article viewer. You can enable "Automatic Reader View" on a per-feed basis to always load items of a feed with Reader View. SUPPORTED THIRD-PARTY SERVICES Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler, FeedHQ, NewsBlur, The Old Reader, Inoreader, BazQux Reader, FreshRSS, Instapaper and Pocket.
