Ratings and reviews

The free version is not functional. Every feed I have is showing no new stories since the 30 day premium trial ended a few days ago. I have way below the maximum number of stories, am not trying to use the premium features, and uninstalled/reinstalled. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to trouble shoot it on the app and the desktop site is non-functional on the phone. I had been considering upgrading to premium, but honestly this snafu has me deleting the whole thing instead.

Log in doesn't work on my phone anymore. Only on my laptop. I've deleted and reinstalled. So depressing not a single rss app out there works nicely. /// Old edit: I'm trying to like this app but when it keeps telling me there's no stories and I have at minimum, 20 news feeds loaded, it's hard. It's an inconsistent reading experience. It either works or doesn't. I don't understand the story loading glitches. Would also like to pay month to month as an option instead of three months or 12.

Have to update my review from 5 to 3. Some feeds fetching with significant delay probably due to issues with Cloudflare. I've tried both paid and free plans. Also my forum account blocked with no notification and explanation, that's why I have to write here. It's sad, Newsblur was favorite RSS reader for many years.
