Feedly Classic for Positive User Reviews
✓ Older is betterSadly this is the Feedly to use. I’ve had to uninstall the regular version and switch to this “classic”. I really don’t understand what the Developer is doing. The new version is complete crap. Look at the latest reviews. The actual stars rating is really for this Classic version..Version: 1.0
✓ The new Feedly is an abortionAnd everyone associated with its creation should be laid off. If it wasn’t for this alternative, I wouldn’t be using Feedly at all..Version: 1.0
✓ New vs ClassicGlad to see they added the classic version to the AppStore for those of us that need what I guess are more power user features. Hopefully they add more features to the new version soon..Version: 1.0
✓ Love the old interfaceWas sort of surprised by the new update and couldn’t find an option to enable to old interface in the app. Please!! Keep this app updated. We love the classic interface! The new one is disorienting..Version: 1.0
✓ Thank you for this...I hope you keep this classic version around for a while. I'll give your new UI a try in about 6 months to a year to see if it's any better. As of right now, it is a gigantic step backwards in almost every conceivable way..Version: 1.0
✓ Feedly classic FTW!Lot better than the new one! But please, put back the green icon, the gray one is ugly!.Version: 1.0
✓ Thank you for the old versionThis is the interface I knew and loved. They tried to update it to something “better”. Thankfully they also came out with the old version for those of us who do not want to update..Version: 1.0
✓ Better than the ‘in-classic’Easier to use, more features, and overall better than the current version.Version: 1.0
✓ Much betterThis one should be coloured in green and the other one grey - this version is so much easier to use and it works as intended! The other one isn’t good at all. I’m happy they did the right thing and put up this legacy version for us..Version: 1.0
✓ Classic is the best Feedly.Buttery smooth interface. The “new” app is too jagged and clunky. Please bring back this as the official app. Thank you for still offering this. If you didn’t, I would have jumped ship long time ago. Keep on innovating..Version: 1.0
✓ The bestThe best version ever..Version: 1.0
✓ Use this, the new one is misconceivedYou’ll lose features you want (evernote) for features feedly folks want (their service doing storage).Version: 1.0
✓ Thank you!Only way to improve this app is to put a notice and link to download it in the updated Feedly app. Thank you to Feedly team for letting me know about it after I whined like a little girl on Twitter about how despondent I was about the new app. A million thank yous..Version: 1.0
✓ Much better than the new versionThe straggly and back to front layout of the new version (Dec19) made me long for the clearer and quicker old version. Super glad they avoided the new coke problem - perhaps they will improve the new one over time to be as good..Version: 1.0
✓ Small complaintThe “Explore” button doesn’t work. Nothing ever loads. Besides that, I love the app. I appreciate the devs. It brings me incredible peace of mind, knowing I have a simple and effective app that functions exactly how I think it should - couldn’t make it better myself..Version: 1.0
✓ This is better than new version.I read a fair bit of news and I prefer the hold press to save articles in this old one, soo much quicker. This saves to instapaper and dropbox and others tru ifttt. The new one is good - organising sources etc, but I’m very glad u have made this available too - thanks x millions. I will be using both versions, for dif reasons I think. Update: happy to see dropbox integration working now - I don’t know if that was my fault I lost it, or bc of an update. Back up to 5 stars!.Version: 1.0
✓ Old version betterMuch prefer the older version. New one feels like it's got too much crammed into it. Please bring back color to the old icon 🙏.Version: 1.0
✓ One touch save to PocketThe new upgraded Feedly doesn't let me save articles to Pocket with a long press. So I'm sticking with the Classic version which does..Version: 1.0
✓ I love this version, but the iconThis version is great for me. I’m let down by the low res looking grey icon though. Can it get some tlc?.Version: 1.0
✓ Please continue to support the classic versionI love the classic version. Please continue to support the classic app. Please update the formatting for the 12.9 iPad Pro. I applaud you for allowing the classic app to continue beside the much hated new app..Version: 1.0
✓ Remember New Coke? This is Coke Classic.This original version of Feedly should have the 22k ratings and the full color icon, but thank you anyway DevHD for continuing to make this app available. As an RSS devotee from Google Reader days, I really appreciate not being left behind again..Version: 1.0
✓ Thanks for preserving the optionAs a long time Feedly user that wasn’t thrilled with the new interface, I’m thrilled they preserved the old interface for those of us that prefer it. Feedly is a wonderful service that continues to prove the value of RSS in the age of social sharing. My one request is to please change the color of the icon. Especially on the iPad, the grey closely matches the color of the dock..Version: 1.0
✓ Thank you! Much prefer this to the new versionThis works much better for the kind of content I use feedly for. Thanks for making it available..Version: 1.0
✓ Much better then the new UII never liked the new user interface, the scrolling experience it’s way worse and less smooth then the previous version. I’ll keep the new installed too to check if there is any change but in the meantime I can continue to use the Classic Version..Version: 1.0
✓ Much better than the new version!Great app, really didn't like the new one..Version: 1.0
✓ Excellent RSS readerSince Google Reader’s demise Feedly has been my RSS app of choice. Excellent web/app integration, with one tap Instapaper support. This Classic version is much more user-friendly and feature rich than the ‘improved’ replacement that seeks to take control away from the reader..Version: 1.0
✓ Don't get new versionMuch more usable than the new version..Version: 1.0
✓ Very nice gesture from the developerBeen a user for years and really don’t like the new version. Very glad they didn’t throw their older users out in the cold. Thank you!.Version: 1.0
✓ So much better than the new versionThis old (now called Classic) version of Feedly is a great app with well designed and fast interface, all you want for a news feed app. The new version is actually slower to browse (no swipe to new page, just wobbly continuous scroll). I can even put up with the turned to be ugly (designed to be scary?) grey logo and continue to use this old version instead of the new one. If the company would have ceased to support a separate version like this with the old classic features, I would be looking for another app..Version: 1.0
✓ Thank youThe new version had me not even opening the app due to interference changes. Been using Feedly since G pages closed. Thanks for bringing back classic interface.Version: 1.0
✓ OMG, my eyes thank youI don’t care that you made the icon all black and white and unattractive. I’m glad to have the old app back. Especially after using the new one, I have a new appreciation for how good this one actually is. Thank you for listening to those who were disappointed..Version: 1.0
✓ Stick with the old!So much better than the new version. Please keep this old version up and running! Thank you!.Version: 1.0
✓ I don’t understand. At all.I wrote a review on the “new” Feedly but that was BEFORE I sat down with it on my new iPad Pro...which sent me straight to this version. It is quite simply appalling what you’ve done with Feedly and seriously, I’m not that guy—the one who rails against change, whatever it is. Going from Feedly to Feedly “Classic” was like moving from a scribbled piece of paper to a glossy magazine. What in the world are you thinking? And have you even looked at the iPad version? In landscape mode it’s utterly ridiculous, with “cards” that don’t even span the width of the device, regardless of which setting you choose—compact or comfortable makes no difference in the layout. You can make this app’s icon and screenshots monochrome all you want (seriously, how silly is that?) but you have the entire thing in reversed: Feedly Classic makes you feel like you’re diving into content—the new Feedly barely holds water. Deleted. I’ll use this one while I can and look for something else. You’ve sunset the wrong app guys..Version: 1.0
✓ Prefer this classicI just experienced the new version & wasnt impressed. Thankfully they’ve kept the old/classic version too. Will Feedly continue to support it through iOS iterations - I for one hope so!.Version: 1.0
✓ Love the idea of offering ClassicI am a heavy Feedly user for the past few year, averaging 20k feeds each year. I definitely appreciate the stack view, plus the perk of having a lite and simple version of Feedly.Version: 1.0
✓ Best curated news aggregatorThe new Feedly is horrible but Classics is still here, thankfully. Thank you for keeping this that just like the great way this aggregates the news you want. I only wish you guys had scrolling support for the new iPad trackpad/mouse support instead of having to click and drag..Version: 1.0
✓ Explore button!Maybe I’m missing it on the new app but I went back to this for the explore button. It gives me a good set of news I enjoy without some of the nsfw feeds in my personal feeds section..Version: 1.0
✓ ThanksThank you to the developer for realizing that many would hate the new design and keeping the ageless design available. I would have left Feedly if this version wasn’t available..Version: 1.0
✓ Thank you for bringing this backWhile there are improvements with the newer feedly app, I wish the same display options were available as user choice, such as "list mode" and "stack page flipping". In the meantime, thank you giving us Feedly Classic..Version: 1.0
✓ Fantastic. Never change.When my iOS update installed automatically the newer Feedly app, I came here to figure out what went wrong. It was so unquestionably a downgrade (in features, usability, functionality) I was genuinely flabbergasted. Thankfully others told me to download Feedly Classic , and all my problems were solved! This app is amazing, and I failed to appreciate it fully until it was temporarily taken away.Version: 1.0
✓ Classic is best!Never stop supporting it. I beg you.Version: 1.0
✓ Better than the new piece of junkWish I could import my settings from the “normal” Feedly that they updated today to the junk ui, but I’d rather use this one than the new one.Version: 1.0
✓ Exceptional!The app itself is outstanding. The interface, the layout, and of course the performance are all first rate. The dev respects and is considerate of their user base in keeping this legacy classic version of the app. It's difficult to overstate how terrific it is that a dev would do this! Thank you very much! If I could give 10 stars I would. 5 for the app and 5 for the dev!.Version: 1.0
✓ Thankfully, they didn’t delete this versionKudos to the developer for letting us continue to use this older version when they released a new version that’s trying too hard to look like Twitter/Apple News (thus making it unreadable to me)..Version: 1.0
✓ Thank you for the option!Wasn’t a fan of the new design, and so I very much appreciate the option to revert to the “classic” style! My one request is the option to change the icon style as many other apps offer the ability to choose from multiple versions - the grey is just killing me!.Version: 1.0
✓ Thanks but bummer I have to re-enter my sourcesI really appreciate you keeping the old version. This one is so much easier to use. I just quickly swipe to move on. The new one makes me swipe and scroll, which is twice as many actions (how is that more efficient?) and is more difficult to do one-handed. I used to blast through my articles and now it's scroll. Scroll. Scroll..Version: 1.0
✓ Classic far superior to “new” FeedlyEvery single aspect of the new Feedly is annoying. PLEASE don’t change anything about the classic!!! ... except maybe make it a few steps easier/faster to toggle light/dark modes..Version: 1.0
✓ Has a built in browser and paginationBring these to the new app and I’ll be there..Version: 1.0
✓ Better than the new version for sureHowever there’s something wrong with both apps - marking all as read doesn’t mark all as read, just a subset. If you refresh or open the app again, there’s new (but older) unread articles. Odd..Version: 1.0
✓ Better than the new versionThank you so much for offering this as the classic version. It’s the best news reader by far. I was nearly going to look for another app after the latest upgrade to the new app. Now I don’t have to..Version: 1.0
✓ Thank youThank you for allowing us to keep using Feedly properly with Classic Feedly..Version: 1.0
✓ ThanksFor the classic. There’s something wrong with the UX on the new one..Version: 1.0
✓ WowJust left a review in the up-to-date feedly because for some reason all the fancy bells and whistles just aren’t working in my iPhone X and after a couple months of it I was so over using Feedly. I noticed in the comments that this version of Feedly still exists and it has made my day!!!! Love it!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Far superior than the new Feedly appI don’t understand how this old “classic” version is still way superior than the “new” Feedly. 🤷🏻♂️ If they add the option for dark mode in sync with the phone, this app would be perfect. I would happily pay for this app..Version: 1.0
✓ RSS reader as it should beThe older classic version (40) is exactly how RSS reader should be. Unfortunately, some knucklehead product manager decided to dumb down the product to look like some Apple Google News with minimal functions, forcing people to download this version. Dumbest product decision, ever..Version: 1.0
✓ Thank you for keeping the classic versionThe updated Feedly become unreadable to me when they eliminated pinch-to-zoom and changed up the tile structure. This is the tried and true Feedly I’ve used for years. Thanks for keeping it alive..Version: 1.0
✓ Best RSSThe icon may be grey, but the experience is ten times more vibrant than the disastrous new Feedly. Hats off to them for keeping this version around..Version: 1.0
✓ THANK YOU FEEDLYI really tried to gave the new version a chance, but there were too many changes that interrupted what I loved about Feedly. Thank you for making the original and best still available..Version: 1.0
✓ Better than the new oneDefinitely better. Smoother. Hasn't got bright white text in dark mode like the new one. Scrolls properly. The list goes on ....Version: 1.0
✓ Way better scrolling UI than the new version!This version has much better looking scrolling and selecting UI over the new version..Version: 1.0
✓ Better than the new one!!I much prefer the swiping mechanism of this app compared to the new one! Not only because I was used to it, but also because the swipes didn’t need to be as long. Please, make the icon green again, or at least with more contrast..Version: 1.0
✓ Way better than the new rubbish versionWhat were they thinking? this is way better that the new version.Version: 1.0
✓ Can’t login using twitter?Don’t like new Feedly, would prefer if devs (actually marketers) would leave interfaces that work alone! Paid for a year of Feedly pro, maybe two years, cost around $45/year if memory serves, ie not averse to paying for good software. The Twitter method of logging is in now grayed out. I’m not logging in using Facebook or google (tracking...) Maybe the twitter disabled is a glitch and it’ll get sorted out, otherwise I’ll be looking for a new reader..Version: 1.0
✓ I like classic FeedlyWhen the other Feedly came out I felt like I was always being pushed to sign up for power searching. So when I saw Feedly Classic I was very happy..Version: 1.0
✓ If it’s not broken...Sometimes change for the sake of change does not advance the cause. In this case, Feedly was already quite good and the decision to ‘update’ turned out to be a step backward. Thank you for giving us Feedly Classic - even with the included insult about ‘old habits.’ Maybe the developers should take some of this feedback to heart..Version: 1.0
✓ So much better than the regular app!Slim app, fast, easy to use interface. Such a shame feedly doesn’t keep updating both versions, but I’m so glad they make this one available. Would not be able to use the other one..Version: 1.0
✓ So much better than the new UIThe guys at Feedly are probably sat there thinking that the new App is loads better than the old one and that anyone who isn't wholeheartedly embracing it is simply resistant to change... Your Beta feedback process can't have been comprehensive because you have released a dog of an app that makes it harder to browse and navigate aggregated news articles. If support for this version of the app ends... you'll have lost a user. The continued existence of the "Classic" version is telling and I'm thankful for it!.Version: 1.0
✓ Stick with ClassicThe new one is probably fine. I'm just use to the Classic layout and like it better. Thanks to the developer for keeping it available. Hopefully they'll get around to moving the "mark all read" away from "refresh"..Version: 1.0
✓ Better than the new version!I just tried the new version and while I liked the new UX, I really didn’t like the fact that that the integration with Pocket is now a paid feature... so that’s a no go for me. I’ll keep using this old version for as long as I can :).Version: 1.0
✓ Feedly is dead. Long live Feedly Classic!This newsreader is absolutely perfect. Maybe someday the “new Feedly” will be fixed, but at the moment it can not compare to this gem. It was perfect just like it was, so I’m not sure why they saw a need to “improve” it. The new (non-Classic) version has about a 2-star rating average - the only reason it looks better is because of all the old reviews that I and many thousands of other users wrote about THIS set of features before they screwed it up. So I’m sticking with Classic, and the only thing I don’t like is the boring gray logo. I can live with that..Version: 1.0
✓ I was looking for an alternativeThe old (now classic) Feedly is not a great app, it too has a clunky UI and has only limited options to configure, yet it's still the best RSS reader in the App Store. The new app however, what a disaster. I was looking for an alternative to the new app, anything would be better, and was relieved to find out the old one is still around..Version: 1.0
✓ Such a relief!I’m so glad I found this app. I started using Feedly about 10 months ago. The new Feedly is obstructive to use and refuses to allow standard (free) users to add content. Every click takes you to an ‘upgrade’ page and, frankly, £7.80 a month for an RSS feed is a rip off. This app takes you back to a usable customisable RSS feed which works! The developers will lose me as a user if they stop supporting this app and persist in forcing users to upgrade to expensive packages. Chris UK.Version: 1.0
✓ The app I never thought I’d needHaving been using Feedly for years now I’m quite surprised that I need to download an alternate version of the app to keep using it. I don’t know who the new version of Feedly is for, but it isn’t for me..Version: 1.0
✓ So much better than the new appFeedly deserves credit for providing a fallback option when making a change that completely destroyed the usefulness of their main app. Seriously, though, the app is the best feed reader out there. The new app is TERRIBLE (I keep trying it every few months, and man... just awful), and Feedly Classic is why I keep my account open. It’s perfect, and I use it every day. Thanks, Feedly, for bucking the trend of tech developers acting like they know what their users need better than their users do! We love having options!.Version: 1.0
✓ New app is brokenHad to switch to this app after latest Feedly update. It totally broke the app - now when i read part of the article and switch to other apps, new Feedly marks the article as read, and I have to search for it in history. Thank god they have the option to use an old app, but the grey icon is horrible. It was easy to find the green icon, now I just can’t find it in a folder..Version: 1.0
✓ Gonna use this until tap gestures for iPad are fixed on the new versionFeedly is great. I like the look of the new version but don't like that all of the great features in this version didn't make it across. The biggest for me was tap edge to next/previous story setting. Whereas on a phone I can live with that, not so on the iPad, especially when swiping feels so clumsy and only seems to work half the time in the new version. Thanks for keeping this version around..Version: 1.0
✓ Much prefer the classic versionThe new version looks horribly dull on an iPad, the original seems so much better designed. Glad it still exists!.Version: 1.0
✓ Thanks for supporting classic!Very classy that Feedly is still supporting this version. The new app’s UI wasn’t to my taste and I felt it slowed down the experience. I also prefer the controls on the top, as my browser has its controls on the top. Feedly’s new AI tools are useful on my laptop, but I don’t need them or want them on my iPad. Frankly, they just got in the way of the reading experience. So this is the best of both worlds: a new version for people who want that sort of thing, and an old version for people who don’t..Version: 1.0
✓ If it ain’t broke don’t fix itI love this app and can’t live without it, I don’t like the new version at all. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it is what I say. But the explore function on the app is broken now and all it does is give me a endless searching screen. Otherwise perfect..Version: 1.0
✓ Absolutely love it when they give the option...So many software developers seen to be striving to fix what ain't broken. I've given up on several sites after they "improved" them. But it is refreshing when developers give the option not to move to their new "baby". I tried the new Feedly and it just doesn't work for me; I was about to abandon Feedly where I saw they provided the option to continue with what is essentially the old version. Perfect! Hope they continue to support this version, and is so wish other developers would adopt this technique..Version: 1.0
✓ Thank you for supporting classic!After trying the new Feedly, I was disappointed, and thrilled that the old UX is still available with classic. Please keep up the support and please carefully consider these reviews! Pagination in particular is clunk in the new feedly, and overall this classic is a more intuitive UX..Version: 1.0
