Reeder 5 for Positive User Reviews
✓ Slick design, one time fee!I love that there is a one time fee for use. I sync my Feedly to this and set up a swipe gesture to save to Pocket. I will also explore using the new read it later feature in the app. This works for me and it works perfectly..Version: 5.3.2
✓ Solid and elegant reederMy hub for news and learning since many years. Solid upgrade and I am happily paying to support the developer!.Version: 5.0.4
✓ Best rss appI love this app, only one I need: magazine view and mix channels news there.Version: 5.2.1
✓ The best RSS app gets even betterI’ve used Reeder since version 2 was released in 2014, and, like it’s predecessors, version 5 of the app is the very best app in it’s class. The Reeder family of apps captures the essence of everything that defines exceptional Mac software; they are beautifully designed, incredibly responsive and — perhaps most importantly, they respect user’s privacy..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Saves my life and time.Very solid app, plenty of options to customize. Doesn’t pidgeonhole you into creating an account and syncing your entire rss library through them. I would recommend checking the spelling under the reset option on Feeder’s settings - it should be “your data won’t be restored!” instead of “you’re data”. :) Good work!.Version: 5.0.7
✓ A great RSS readerI’ve been using Reeder since the first version and the app just gets better and better. Version 5 is no different!.Version: 5.0
✓ AwesomeOne of the best apps. Frequently updated, love the UI and works great..Version: 5.0.11
✓ Life ChangingI have read more longform articles in the past few months of having reader than I have in my entire life. This app has single-handedly changed my entire approach to reading. As someone with executive function disorder it is extremely draining to read and this app completely revolutionize that aspect of my life. this app has become so consequential to my life that I am more than willing to pay for it and support the Reeder team in anyway I can. I want for this app to see regular innovation such as ways to more readily categorize “reading for later” as well as a more up-to-date tagging system and a PDF reader or conversion reader. anybody who struggles to read, struggles to stay focused while reading or has to read over and over again please consider this app as it has turned me into a voracious reader..Version: 5.3.2
✓ Pretty GoodImage Previews could use some improvement. Medium previews offers a square aspect ratio, but Large crops a lot of the image out. I wish Reeder had better handling of different aspect ratios so the entire image could appear within the Image Preview. I also have some issues with certain RSS feeds from Reddit consistently retrieving posts from years ago, despite continuing to Mark As Read. Otherwise, the app is pretty slick and modern. I like it..Version: 5.4
✓ Good, but probably not the best anymoreEdit: After using for a few days, I am adding a star. The app would benefit from deeper integration with the APIs of the sync services (like Lire), but it’s a solid release. — This is a nice app, and while there are some additional features it isn’t a vast improvement on 4 (which was already very good). As it stands, Reeder is now quite far behind some of the other RSS apps in features and it’s a shame that this new release wasn’t braver. For the casual RSS user, it’s fine..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Great RSS appI’ve used the app for years to follow blogs. A few months as go I added a separate account just to follow a few news sources. It’s greatly simplified getting the news. I scroll through the feed to see the headlines and read the articles I want. I have it set to mark as read in scroll, and then have the new account set to delete read items after a day. It’s a quick way to see the news, and I don’t have to see all the ads on news websites. If the rss feed for a source doesn’t include the whole article, I have it set to open in reader view. Thanks for this great app!.Version: 5.4
✓ First impressions- signing in for accounts is strange as there isn’t an OK button. After tinkering with settings and scrolling down, there’s a delete account button. The other option is to tap on the X and go back and assume that the account has been added - setting up Pocket needs to be done twice as if you switch between sign up and login, I think it disrupts the process and doesn’t lead to the authorization page. I would suggest having it load the login page and not the sign up page first. - it would be nice if we could manually set the order of the accounts in the list of accounts that we are signed into - the icon will take some getting used to Can’t wait to explore the rest. Will update the review over time! Everything works so far..Version: 5.0
✓ Worth the Upgrade From 4Been holding out a good while, but figured I’d go ahead and upgrade with the new year. Being able to move from 3rd party (Feedly) and have feeds sync’d via iCloud is fantastic. Doesn’t do a great job of handling Instagram embeds in either default or Reeder view, hope that gets fixed soon with an update. Recommended nonetheless..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Love it except when doing initial sync on new devicesI’ve been using Reeder since it first came out and paid for each new release across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This is one of my few instant buy apps. The only downside which is rare is whenever I have to erase a device and reinstall or move to a new device the initial sync from iCloud feeds takes hours for me. I do have a lot of feeds and. Lot of saved and unread articles usually but it can sometimes take a day for the initial sync to complete. Again this is a rare instance but always happens in these instances..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Absolutely amazing!This is a great app, one of the most useful I have experienced in my 10 years of having an iPhone. This is way beyond the stock Apple News app and has absolutely 0 adverts. I love this app. It’s so polished it’s unbelievable. My only suggestion would be if you could allow push notifications for particular feed, now that would be excellent as you could be notified when something is published! I hope that could be added soon! Well done and great work!.Version: 5.4
✓ The best thing since Google ReaderI haven’t found anything I’ve liked/used as much as Google reader until I started using this. It’s a great way to look for something to read when I have a bit of time. Getting support for the new Matter app would be great, I’d love to just swipe to add the article to it instead of having to use iOS share feature..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Reeder goesFrom strength to strengthReeder updates never fail to deliver, and for the price of a couple of beers this is a no-brainer of a purchase. Slick as ever and with iCloud integration for syncing across devices. I’ve been using Reeder for a few years now and will continue to do so and support the developer..Version: 5.0
✓ My go-to RSS reederRSS is still the best way to get your reads, I don’t want watered-down Google or Apple News experiences. And Reeder is still my go-to, despite it having a few obvious issues. It’s the combo of RSS and other services which makes it great for me… Since Pocket obliterated their app and made it unusable, the best thing about Reeder for now is it serves as a much better Pocket articles reading experience. I wish they’d add Pinboard support, other readers have it, and it’s frustrating that they still give you no way to delete articles without 3 taps (should be on the list view) but hey ho, its otherwise great and dependable. Long may it continue!.Version: 5.4
✓ Background refresh is working nowBut it takes few days to get it working. Maybe developers should mention this from the very beginning instead of letting people have to dive into the support page..Version: 5.0.4
✓ One of the greatest apps ever writtenThe scrolling is so smooth and the UI so peaceful that i would buy it twice if i could.Version: 5.4
✓ ICloud sync has limit of 50 unread articlesLove the app and loved the idea of syncing via iCloud instead of a 3rd party tool. However, iCloud sync only seems to pull up 50 unread articles from each source, so any high volume RSS feeds are not working so well under iCloud and I am missing a ton of articles. Can this be fixed? For now, I’m still keeping my 3rd party app running just so that I can watch my high volume feeds. But it’s annoying to constantly have to switch between them. Please fix this!!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ WorksWished the listing for the iOS and MacOS apps weren’t separate..Version: 5.3.4
✓ ExcellentEvery touch interaction is spot on, great attention to detail, wonderful reading experience. Happy customer!.Version: 5.4
✓ Brilliant App from a Brilliant DeveloperGreat upgrade to one of the all time great iOS apps.Version: 5.0.1
✓ The greatest RSS app without doubt.I feel like a fossil using RSS these days but i’ve yet to find a better alternative. I’ve also yet to find a better RSS application. I’ve bought all 5 versions of Reeder for macOS and iOS/iPadOS and I look forward to buying Reeder 6 in the next year or two. Always a pleasure. Still the greatest, still no monthly subscription, still no IAP, still making the UI feeler fresher and slicker with every release. Please don’t ever stop Silvio..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Thanks to the developerThis is a great update. I’ve used Reeder off and on for years but this update gives everything I think I need (at least for now). iCloud support, mark-as-read on scroll, automatic readability, custom fonts/sizes, etc. These are quality of life features but ultimately make the reading experience better than all other news apps. This combined with content neutrality, I highly recommend..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Keeping a dying breed of apps alive.RSS readers don’t seem like the most popular app category. Anecdotally, I don’t know anyone else who uses one, and very few people who know what an RSS feed is or does. That’s a shame, because when an RSS reader is done right - as it is with Reeder - then it’s by far the most intuitive, personal, digestible way to experience written web content. And it offers up that content in a way that values your time, unlike the websites themselves, which just want to swallow as much of that time as possible. Reeder is a fantastic RSS reader. In fact I think it might be nearly perfect. It does the essentials incredibly well: it lets me aggregate content from the websites I read regularly, and it keeps that feed in sync across all my devices. It also does a better job of capturing content to read later than some services dedicated to doing just that. Reeder is also a bit of a masterclass in UX design. It’s clean, clear, attractive, and immersive. I never read a story through Reeder and wish I’d read it natively on the publication’s website instead, which is high praise. It’s frustrating that so few people use RSS readers, because they’re still - for me - the best way to make web content work for you. And everyone who should really be using an RSS reader should also be using Reeder, because it’s the best one..Version: 5.1
✓ Quality quality qualityReeder app continues to dominate in quality, appearance, customization, and features. Happy to continue to support on MacOS and iOS. Appreciate that the app is kept a one time but would be willing to pay monthly as I use it multiple times per day!.Version: 5.0
✓ A Brilliant AppI use Reeder across all my devices. It is superb, clean interface combined with a good level of functionality. Through linking my Instapaper, Feedly and Pinboard accounts to it, it has revitalised my workflow and is now my information hub..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Great! But could use some quality of life featuresI bought this app for the bionic reading and I am SO happy with how it works. I understand this wasn't the originally intended purpose for the app but I use it to read longer form content. In Pocket (the app I'm using to import my reading) they have a highlight feature which you can use to save your place. If you could add a bookmarking or highlighting feature I would just be over the moon. As I can often lose my place if the app is closed or refreshed in the background. Even a word finder would be appreciated so I could copy the sentence I last read and then search for it later! So glad I spent the money on this but it would just do a TON for me to have those simple features that suit longer txt.💞.Version: 5.2.2
✓ Wow!ICloud sync is what I was waiting for! Now I don't need to rely on other services to sync my feeds! Thank you Silvio!.Version: 5.0
✓ Best RSS readerI've tried quite a few but nothing beats reeder! I wish that the reader could be improved a bit..Version: 5.4
✓ NiceBeen using Reeder for years, I'd be lost if it ever went away.Version: 5.0.13
✓ So clean and noninvasiveThis app took me a short minute to figure out but that seems to be a fault of the sites you may try to follow, some of them require a little more digging to find the RSS link to add their feeds to the app. The app is very worth the up front cost to have a custom newsfeed that won’t shove its own ads in your face or push additional feeds that you didn’t ask for..Version: 5.4
✓ Beautiful app, but adding next buttons on the sides would make iPad experience betterIn a previous version of Reeder the iPad version had previous and next arrows on the side of the screen while viewing an article. I wish the developer would bring this back and let you customize which side to put them. Also, I was and am happy to support the developer by purchasing every version along the way, but otherwise I don’t see any significant reason to upgrade from Reeder 4 other than widgets (if you use those)..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Still a great app, new features require Mac upgrade tooNice interface update, but to use iCloud feed syncing you also need to purchase the £10 upgrade to Reeder for MacOS, which also requires Catalina..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Amazing appPlease, please add a newspaper/magazine view for articles 🙏🏽.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Great app, but a suggestion!Awesome app, but it would be cool to be able to add Twitter feeds. There are a few accounts I’d like to specifically follow and I know there are a few ways to get around it. But having that functionality baked right in would be absolutely amazing..Version: 5.0.10
✓ Filter FinctionI enjoy of using Reeder very much! Thank you for developing a such great product. Since some of the RSS web does not have good filter function. I hope Reeder has a filter function in the future so I can filter some of the RSS result. Filter by keyword, include or exclude some of keywords. OVERALL GREAT APPS!.Version: 5.2.2
✓ Features like iCloud Read Later are no longer workingICloud read later stopped working on the desktop months ago. More recently, it stopped working on the mobile app. No support responses from developer. It’s a shame, it’s a really great app UI and the functions that work, work well. Just feels like we’re being left in the dust with a paid app. Update: months later, This was fixed. No response (ever!) from developer on support requests, but the fixes were made. So the app works again, but the dev continues to be non-responsive..Version: 5.3.5
✓ The developer listened, changing from 3 stars to 5Longtime satisfied user since reeder 3, was complaining about folders not able to rename thus rated this version 3 stars, 2 for app lack of real upgrade, 1 for old time’s sake. Then the dev listened and released some functions I was requesting, now a satisfied user again, changing my rating from 3 stars to 5. Btw, app is beautiful, but UX can be improved, the design logic for gestures/actions aren’t always the same, thus getting me a bit confused, mostly when editing folders or subscriptions..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Still the best RSS readerI’ve been using Reeder in multiple versions, across iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS, for years. I love the clarity of the user interface, the compatibility with multiple aggregating services, the ability to check my feeds on any platform I currently have in front of me, and its totally robust function. I’d tried many feed readers prior to Reeder, and even a couple since, but nothing is as good as Reeder. Highly recommended..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Glowing statement hereActually I’m not sure I needed to upgrade from v4. But I thought that before and support for FreshRSS was added later. Getting v5 was the payment that was due for FreshRSS. I run FreshRSS in Docker on my Synology NAS. It’s a multi-user, private and free aggregator that’s simple to setup. And Reeder works great with it. I can’t tell the difference between using it and a paid service. Well done Silvio!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Custom font bugsSome custom font bugs are found on iPad and iPhone. Custom fonts are supported for articles’ headline, but those fonts of articles’ content are not updated..Version: 5.3.2
✓ ICloud to manage my feeds!This is great. Finally no longer need Feedly. It felt like I just purchased v4 but this is totally worth it. Happy to support the developer. Not to mention it’s a really great app. Been using it since v1 🏆.Version: 5.0
✓ Loses cookiesIn a recent idea I no longer stay logged into websites through Reeder. Even if I sign in, if I close the in app browser and open it again I’m signed back out. This used to work. Follow up: Seems it was an iOS bug. I rebooted and cookies work again..Version: 5.3.3
✓ RSS daddy of them allNothing comes close..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Soooo HappyI am so happy that this app has been updated and released with iCloud sync!! For many years I used this app in its previous 4 versions and alongside it I had a feed in account. But with increasing cost I could not justify the fees in price for the amount of feeds that I have. I tried to find alternative RSS apps but they were few and far between or with poor features. I ended up using Fiery for its customisation and iCloud sync.... but as soon as I knew this app had been released I was back where I have been since day one. Reeder!!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ My favourite feed reader gets betterUpgrades to the latest version of Reeder are always no brainers for me. This app has been solid for three versions straight and this release brings iCloud feed syncing, so no need to pay a separate feed service. I’m pleased to continue to be able to support this developer..Version: 5.0
✓ Reeder 5 for Five StarsHave used Reeder off and on since version 1, mostly with my Feedbin RSS account. V5 is a terrific update for both iPhone and iPad. A very mature and polished app that benefits from the developer getting paid for each version. Very thankful he can continue to work on this without turning it into a subscription - though it’s one of the apps I use everyday so I’d pay that..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Gets stuck on one article after iOS 15 updateLoving this app so far but ever since updating to iOS 15, it only shows one article no matter which of the other news articles I try to read. Hope this gets fixed soon..Version: 5.0.12
✓ Good flexible rss/atom news readerA great news reader for those who still like organising their rss feeds the old fashioned way. Was having some syncing issues with reader on two devices. Both of which had been updated from earlier versions. Seems to be working better now. If you hate being locked into one news service this is still the best Reader. Would love a way of filtering out some articles based on keywords in the title. The gaming Site I subscribe to insists on posting Wordle and Querdle answers or hints which I would love to delete automatically from the feed..Version: 5.3.4
✓ Great appHow do I mark all as read though?????.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Works greatSolid RSS reader. I like that it syncs across all my devices via iCloud without needing a third party service or account. The reader view, for sites that don’t provide the full article in their feeds, is excellent, though you can’t use it with hard-paywalled sites even if you have a subscription. I recommend it if you want a simple news reader app..Version: 5.4
✓ Thank youI came here to just say thank you. It is such a breath of fresh air to have an app built in way that I don’t have to care about subscriptions hanging around, some login and passwords into some shady third party service that’ll collect and sell my data. Simply my feeds, simply in my iCloud account, simply on my every device. Thank you so much for your work..Version: 5.0.12
✓ Cannot find installed fontsI installed some fonts with a font manager app which installed in appStore. I can find those fonts in "ios > Settings > General > Fonts". But when I changing font in "reeder > Preferences > Reading > TEXT > Font > Custom" I wish Reeder could support install custom fonts by icloud Files、AirDorp and so on. Because my Common language is not English, I need change custom font for reading..Version: 5.3
✓ One of my most used apps, but I’ve got a problem…Something happened to the Twitter integration yesterday. It suddenly stopped syncing tweets. I realized that I haven’t seen any in over 24 hours. While investigating I tried logging out of Twitter in the app, but can’t get back to the login. It acts like it tries and then immediately fails to load a login screen. The other service login screens seem to appear normally though. Help?.Version: 5.4
✓ Great iteration of an already great appAnother great iteration of an already great app. The UI refinements are great and everything just feels a bit better than reeder 4. I switched my feeds across from Inoreader to reeder iCloud sync without any difficulty. Only ask would be for background refresh of feeds so I don’t have to wait for all my feeds to refresh when I open the app. This wasn’t an issue when using an external sync service as it’s just be a refresh from one feed but is a bit slow when lots of feeds are being pulled down..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Great App, Very Refined, Under PricedI’ve been using various versions of this app for years. With each new version, the developers do an amazing job making it feel more fluid and fast with every iteration. It’s feature rich with everything you could hope for but none of the features get in the way of simply reading. I also appreciate how the app is tastefully customizable. Overall, this app is one of the best bargains on the App Store for the amount I use it..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Great client!I have used Reeder for a very long time. Since the days of Reeder 3. Every big release gets better and better. Honestly, this app deserves the full 5 stars, but I have one big issue. Why is there no full support for VoiceOver? Currently I have to configure the app to work with it through the apple settings and it works good. But I think it would work much better if it was native. Being visually impaired, I can see well enough to tap through the menus and at least VoiceOver works when reading the article itself. I think this great app would appeal to more people if this accessibility feature was implemented. Other than that, love the app. I highly recommend it to those looking to buy it. And if you still use RSS, certainly this app is worth every penny..Version: 5.1
✓ Incredible Automatic Reader modeFinally a beautiful iOS up-to-date UI for a RSS reader with an amazing automatic reader function !!! Could we imagine having an automatic reader mode configuration to enable this globally somewhere in the settings ?.Version: 5.0.12
✓ Great RSS appBeen using Reeder for years but one feature I would love is notifications for when articles are posted. That would make the app perfect for me..Version: 5.3.6
✓ Good app but lacks some functionsIt maybe is the best RSS reader on iOS, but it still need to add some basic functions, such as selecting multiple articles and deleting them all at once, changing fonts for language outside English or reducing prompt’s displaying time while saving articles from safari to read later..Version: 5.4
✓ A great, great RSS clientReeder is powerful, yet beautiful. It has the smoothest animations, takes true advantage of ProMotion, and provides for a comfortable reading experience. iCloud sync is phenomenal, too; I’ve never had it fail. It always works, it’s instant, and it’s beautiful. Reeder is a delightful RSS client, and it’s worth every penny..Version: 5.4
✓ Superb!Highly-recommended. RSS forever! The way to go for busy people that actually read articles. Hoping in the future it offers Twitter post integration so we don’t have to directly visit that SM platform ever (time a-wasting)..Version: 5.0.4
✓ I was stuck on an old version of Reeder for a long time…I thought that Reeder was an abandoned project, hasn't had updates for years, so that was that. Finally went to the app store to buy a replacement.. and found this. On the one hand, thank you for not nagging. On the other hand… I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE NEW ONE SOONER IF I KNEW IT EXISTED. lol.Version: 5.3.4
✓ Love it but needI love Reeder! I have it on all my Apple devices. But I wish it’d support newsletters like Feedbin does. I’d be willing to pay $5 a month for newsletters support. It’s worth it to keep my inbox from getting cluttered and to support my RSS addiction lol. And email support on the website…I’ve never received replies to my emails..Version: 5.4
✓ Fantastic RSS ReaderThis is my favorite client for all of my subscribed blogs and news sources. I love the ability to force “reader view” for subscriptions that only post a few sentences to the RSS feed. The only feature I wish it had was the ability to do quick notes. I don’t know how feasible that is, but it would make taking notes on articles so much better. (Highlighted text in quick notes would be a *huge* bonus, but I think that’s probably something only Safari can do?).Version: 5.0.12
✓ Excellent!Reeder 5 is really good! The UI is spot on. Reeder has been my go-to RSS reader (for the most part) for a few years now. Reeder 5 is the icing on the cake. Really well done and highly recommended..Version: 5.0
✓ Love it..I use Reeder everyday, not just for RSS news feeds, but for following Twitter users and YouTube channels. Excellent app :-).Version: 5.3.1
✓ Needs to move to an in-app purchase modelThe fact that each point-zero release of this app is a separate app is really annoying. I only found out about this latest version by accident. Instead of charging to download, just move the charge in-app to unlock it or whatever. That way you also don’t have to release the Mac version as an additional separate app. You’re lucky I’m a loyal user..Version: 5.0.1
✓ A solid upgradeI’ve used Reeder since version 3 on the Mac and on my iPhone. It’s solid, reliable, and beautiful. When I saw version 5 was out it was an instant buy on both platforms and worth every penny..Version: 5.0
✓ Great time saverGreat app, I no longer scroll hacker news and other news sites all day. Now I have them set up as RSS feeds and I scroll through all my feeds in a few minutes 2-3 times a day. Bought the Mac app too, love that as well!.Version: 5.3.1
✓ The best RSS reader just got betterReeder is hands down my favorite RSS app, and this is another fantastic update to an already amazing app. iCloud syncing works flawlessly, the new design feels fresh, modern and clean, and there’s no *bleeping* subscription, which by itself is enough to make me want to support this app and developer. Oh, and widgets. 👍.Version: 5.0
✓ Perfect RSS appJust such a perfectly made RSS app. I’ve used past reeder apps (probably for a decade now) which I’ve always enjoyed. But this v5 has just turned out to be the best yet - with iCloud sync I don’t need any RSS online service. The app never asks for an App Store review - so, when I was using it today, I realised it’s just one of my most stable apps that I don’t want to change - and I have to actually write a full review. Thanks for making such a great app (also love Mela too for similar reasons)!.Version: 5.4
✓ Best in class RSS reader for those who value great interface designInstant purchase. Reeder is the best iOS and MacOS RSS reader in the business. Smooth, beautiful to look at, and integrates with a tonne of services. I’m glad to support it’s continued development as a user since the start..Version: 5.0
