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.

Basically perfect. Simple, elegant, no nonsense. It's exactly what I wanted. If you only want to read rss on your phone get this app. You will not find a better one. If you need a desktop app, maybe look elsewhere as you would need to sync your lists manually. Doable, not fun. It fits my needs and I can't say enough positive things.
