Ratings and reviews

Preview in store looked good, wanted badly to try, but yet another reader that will not function without a subscription to a service. You may want to consider just a local (on device) OPML feed setup option without requiring sync.

This app looks a lot like Press which was my go to RSS app when Google Reader was still around. I would love to try it out, however if you want to use it with Inoreader you have to subscribe to their Pro plan for $90 yearly. No other RSS app, paid or free, has this requirement as I assume the develoeprs have paid for Innoreader API access. This should be clearly stated in the app description, as I'm not willing to pay $90 yearly just to use this app. Would love to try this app if that changes.

Let's you sync with Fever, and it works well. Also let's you load the whole article from feeds which shows only one paragraph. This Rss reader is just what I was looking for!
