Ratings and reviews

Update: Fixed by dev in latest release! /Bluesky post embedding no longer shows correctly. / After using the same RSS reader for 15 or so years, I was reluctant to switch even after encountering issues making me restless. Happily the ratings are right on this one. Its simplicity, speed, and reliability are most welcome. I had to manually re-add a few feeds which didn't make it but that may not be Capy's fault. A great animal mascot presages a great RSS reader! Thank you dev.

After after Imoreader went to a subscription-based model, I was on the hunt for another RSS reader. This app seems to be what I was looking for. It would be 5 stars (and a donation) if the star icon was larger and maybe a color (yellow?). It's hard for my old eyes to easily know if I starred an article not. If that's fixed, it'll be 5 stars and a 10 dollar donation. Oh, and maybe an option tlfor swiping right bringing up the left side panel? Hmm, refresh on open doesn't seem to work.

Inoreader has become bloated, buggy, overpriced and hasn't kept up with Material design. This app is a godsend if you're wanting a well-designed RSS reader just for Android or if you need cross-platform syncing. I've moved to feedbin which works with both this app and the desktop app I use on the Mac called Unread. I'd love to be able to pay a little something to the developer for the outstanding work! Update: Please bring back pull to refresh when on the Unread screen.
