Ratings and reviews

This app is really good! I love the Discord-style drawer holding the list of feeds, the gestures for swiping to mark as read/unread, and the system theming integration. My one nitpick is the app occasionally thinks my attempted vertical scroll is a horizonal swipe. I do also wish there was a way to add custom icons for feeds that don't come with one. And I would find it useful to be able to filter out feed items with specific keywords (author = WIRED), though that's probably a niche request.

As far as local RSS apps go (cloud-based ones have their own set of pros and cons), this has everything I could ask for. OPML import/export, notifications for new articles, setting individual feeds to automatically fetch full articles or open in the browser, multiple views for article lists (my choice is Super Compact to reduce distractions), and auto-detection of feeds when I add a URL. The app is fast and so far feels solid and reliable. Good reading experience despite little customizability.

Only thing I don't like about it is that when you read something, it marks it read instantly & removes it from your feed altogether instead of just leaving it there read like I'd prefer. But you can save favorite posts before you close/back out of them for reference, you just have to remember to do it. Other than that, Feeder is a GREAT app with an excellent simple, intuitive UI.
