I use NewsBlur all the time It does what I want, does it well, and does it without a fuss. Recommended without reservations.

Newest update kills the battery. It's the largest culprit. Please look at it.

Best RSS reader since Google Reader

Improving Works much better now, still slow at loading stories.

Dan Alec Yamaguchi January 28, 2016

much better now keep the hard work

Matt Hodges December 14, 2015

Program has really improved in the last year. Still a little unreliable from time to time, but does the job.

Aaron Tse March 10, 2016

Can't even make an account The app just freezes and boots you out. Never got it working.

Varun Chaudhary December 9, 2015

Too slow and buggy I just moved to android with nexus 6p and whilst I used this app on my earlier iPhone which was also little slow, the android version is just really bad. It is extremely slow and have to wait for few seconds after every action. Sometime i would finish reading all stories and it won't mark them as read. One of the worst app I've used in a long time and its almost 2016. I hope it's fixed soon as am a paid customer for newsblur and this experience is extremely poor.

Always improving Fast to load and navigate. Rarely has any issues. Excellent service.

Mike Hicks October 20, 2015

Podcasts not working Reasonable enough app, but there's always something flaky about it. My current problem is that it doesn't play most/all of my podcasts. The player widget appears, but the buttons are always grayed-out/disabled.

Chuck Dupree October 4, 2015

Does what I want it to I suppose it would be possible to imagine features, even useful ones, that aren't in the current version. But seriously, for dedicated news or RSS junkies this service really rocks. Worth the subscription price for me!

Lavi Shiffman October 5, 2015

Version 4.5 is great The new version (4.5) is great. The application is much faster, rich with options and many bugs were fixed. I'm happy.

Benjamin Slade October 31, 2015

Improved a bit after updates. After recent updates it now no longer *constantly* crashes. Still limited in functionality though (no apparent way to mark as unread or to do intelligence training.) Edit: after recent updates seems a bit more stable.

Anton B October 4, 2015

Broken version The latest release 4.5.0 is completely broken here. It is unable to retrieve any feed

Steve Milner October 5, 2015

Works great It's come a long way. No more complaints!

Matt Robold October 1, 2015

Worth Every Penny, and a few more

Andrew Clough October 6, 2015

Wonderful Google Reader replacement

Randy H September 9, 2015

Drop high premium fee or increasingly prominant ads For paying so much a year, the large number of ads are annoying. And this is money going to the Newsblur (fee and ads), not the news content providers. Was a great replacement for Google Reader but at way to high a cost.

James Billetts September 7, 2015

What was Google Reader? Ever since it's demise I have been a newsblur user. Really fantastic job.

Rachel C. August 29, 2015

Still no widget? NewsBlur is a great service, but the fact that there's no widget after all this time is borderline absurd. Come on, I will pay for a pro version with a widget at this point. The NewsBlur+ guy has one for sale, and I'd rather pay you guys that money.

Bobby Cathey August 17, 2015

Lots of Improvements I have increased my rating from a 1 to a 3 due to several improvements recently made to functionality and usability. Please keep adding features. The aesthetics could also use an update.

Steve M September 16, 2015

Mostly this is an awesome app... Offline reading doesn't seem to work. Even with it periodically grabbing feeds in the background, when there isn't a connection NewsBlur is completely empty. Galaxy s5

Roman Starkov August 3, 2015

No complaints I use the website most of the time, but when on mobile this does the job.

Beth Avallone August 17, 2015

Works Does what it's supposed to. No frills.

Jonathan Wegener July 11, 2015

Better than Feedly! This is the RSS news reader I've been waiting for. I've tried everything from feedly to feedbin and now that I discovered newsblur I can see why all the smartest people I know use it. It works offline, syncs quickly, and has a training feature to hide the crap I don't care about reading. Solid app.

Julia Au July 3, 2015

Steep improvement curve I'm a Google Reader refugee. I tried loads of options but this was the one which I stuck to, and I've very happily paid up for Newsblur. Apple and Android apps started out being quite dubious but now I do half my (copious) reading on the go. Excellent interface. Thank you!!

Matthew Steffen July 25, 2015

Best RSS reader. Better than Google Reader Switched to this after Google reader died, and now I don't even regret the loss. Embedding the post html is great for comics

Philip Storry June 19, 2015

An excellent way to read Newsblur on the move The Android app had a rocky start, and felt for a while like an unloved part of the Newsblur family. But I'm pleased to say that it's now much matured, and is an excellent way to skim news whilst on the move.

Chris O'Hara June 21, 2015

Great Many updates which have helped to make it a brilliant supporting app.

Lê Hùng Thiện April 28, 2016

Work great with the Web app

Nikola Lazarević April 24, 2015

Greatest news reader on market!!! I use it everyday since Google shuted down GReader. It's actively developed and even opensourced on Github. There is web version and iOS app, so you are completely covered on all platforms. I cannot imagine my daily workflow without Newsblur :) Try it, you won't regret it :)

Shai Ayal June 9, 2015

Recent versions slow The feed is slow to update and there are no visual cues so you don't know when it is updated. The iPad version is still good, but the android app is borderline usable. I switched to inoreader (on the iPad as well)
