Ratings and reviews

I really want to like this, as I'm desperate for a scrollable widget for my Feedly feeds. But so far the widget has been a bust. It was working half decent with only a little annoyance, but now it's just the top bar and no stories. If I need to open the app to see the stories I might as well just use feedly or a million other variants.

I've purchased a lifetime license in order to support development but am continuing to have issues with this app failing to load the text of stories within itself requiring in almost all instances that they be opened in a browser which defeats the main purpose for which I wish to use this app, Offline reading when I am without signal during my rural travels. This is a huge deal for me and I hope it can be addressed somehow. Please keep up the hard work.

I like the app, clean, fast and simple. But I can't "mark as unread" which totally contradict how I go through rss feeds: check the headlines, curate te content, keep the interesting articles for later. And no, the save for later feature is not good enough as it creates yet another feed to check with mixed articles instead of keeping them tidy in their own feeds. Well it's a bummer :(
