News Explorer for Negative User Reviews

✓ Push notifications only work when app is openI thought this reader was going to be great because it had good ratings and push notifications. After setting it all up I only seem to get push notifications when the app is left open for some reason and for that I have to give it a 1 star rating..BugsfbunnyVersion: 1.9.10

✓ No Inoreader supportNews Explorer is a good RSS app, but I use Inoreader as a backend. I was disappointed to realize there's no sync support for it. Unfortunately, the app forces you to use iCloud which isn't an viable option because I have filters in place on Inoreader before they reach client apps. News Explorer devs should focus on adding sync support for Inoreader, Feedly and others because quite frankly, pretty much every other app provides this..Nino V.Version: 1.11.3

✓ Something happened and it simply stopped workingUPDATE: I finally had to delete this app from all my devices because it simply began refusing to sync. Sometimes I would let it go for an hour and it would not sync my feeds. The app would lock up and I would have to force quit. It also cause some websites to think I was a robot trying to access the site and force me to solve a captcha just to read an article. My other news readers don’t do this. I tried EVERYTHING I could find on the dev’s website and nothing. I have no idea what happened but this clean, efficient app simply does not work any longer on my iPhone, iPad, or iMac. Sorry I had to abandon it. This, quite simply, the best RSS news reader I have ever seen. With two very reasonable, non-subscription purchases, I have News Explorer running on EVERY Apple device I own. No third party account is needed (uses iCloud for syncing). Responses from the dev are quick, helpful, and friendly. Please support this developer and product..AstroclubguyVersion: 1.10.2

✓ Doesn’t work as describedI am not receiving any notifications for a website whose feed is perfectly operable on other apps. Money back please. I didn’t get what I paid for..Kat tommaVersion: 1.9.7

✓ Decent app but browsing through articles is cumbersomeI have feeds from various news sites and Reddit, And the "next" button is at the bottom left corner.. And operating with one hand is nearly impossible because it is too close to left thumb and too far from the right thumb.. and there is open space in the middle! I asked the developer to make the UI better (by moving the next/previous buttons to the center) or make it customizable.. but the developer declined. Other than the UI elements.. the app is very good.. but UI needing two hands and developer response made me give 2 stars to the app!.Nik2002Version: 1.9.10

✓ One super annoying feature.Leaving a 2 star review of an otherwise excellent app, because apparently if I don’t leave a rating, it will continue to interrupt me with a pop up asking me to rate it. Careful what you ask for..SglewisVersion: 1.10.1

✓ Mark As Read IssuesOverall, I like this news reader. There are many source options. I don’t turn to it as my primary reader because of the Mark as Read issues. When I try to mark articles, or an entire news source, as read using the button - it is very inconsistent on whether it will work or not. Sometimes articles will immediately be marked as read, and sometimes I could tap the button ten times and nothing will happen..BrandonLNVersion: 1.8.14

✓ My Go-To Reader App but still needs workI really enjoy using NewsExplorer for so many reasons however a couple of issues still persist and continue to detract from the user experience. Firstly is the refresh times and the inability for background refresh to work as described. Secondly is the regular freezing of the app, typically upon opening for the first time but often whilst in the middle of reading articles. I also use the Mac version of the app and have none of these issues. Keen to see these issues resolved in a future update..Tom SherringVersion: 1.9.10

✓ Review NaggingNagging for a review, especially frequently, is obnoxious. I think I’d spend more time on things like making sure the avatar image you are showing for a feed post is the correct avatar..AVonGaussVersion: 1.11.3

✓ I wanted to like itBeautiful design, and plenty of good features, however the syncing doesn’t always work well, and it’s not very fast. I have about 20 RSS feeds I follow, so it’s not a huge amount. Between my iPad, iPhone & Apple TV it just doesn’t seem to sync accurately. Switching back to Reeder..EricloVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Utterly disappointedFails to recognise feeds and links; won't synchronise correctly. When it does, it's long and battery consuming. Not satisfied at all. I'd like to request a refund please..LyondhurMeVersion: 1.9.2

✓ Only 3 days loads (((I read the news only once a week, for example on Saturday, but when I open application news loads only for the last 3 days, it's upsets me a lot ((( I want to download all the news for a week from one source, not just for 3 days. What should I do? Help me please.SyldysVersion: 1.11.3

✓ Needs improvementNot as good as the price and description promises but I just tried the top 20 serverless RSS readers on the App Store and this is the best so far. Feedback: - some feeds just never load any content - no export subscriptions to OPML option.Cool_coolcoolcool😎Version: 1.6

✓ Articles Don’t Stay “Read”Love the design and was even willing to forgo a web viewer to use this app. The problems I had were that the sync when you open the app is incredibly slow and that I’d mark all items in a feed as read and hours later when I looked again I’d have new items in feeds as well as the items I’d marked as read previously showing as unread. Incredibly frustrating..OSUMaverickVersion: 1.8.9
