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.

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.

Over the years, I’ve used most every RSS reader available on the Android platform and Capy Reader is the first to tick (almost) every one of my boxes! It imports OPML files and preserves your tags. You don’t need the full URL for a feed, just the domain and Capy will find the RSS file. It’s easy to tag, categorize, and filter items you add. Fetching the full article can be done automatically. The UI is clean. Add an option to use san serif fonts for articles and it would be perfect.
