Ziner - RSS Reader that believes in simplicity for Negative User Reviews
✓ Ziner nice but needs a bug fixZiner has a lot of promise, but a bug hinders it! Many articles have portions missing or blocked and there is no sense upgrading until that is fixed! I'd like to see the ability to select a particular feed as the default view instead of all as an option! I like the fact that you have a choice between list view and magazine view! I use it and others to replace Zite which Flipboard is letting decline! I don't use Flipboard because the flow is disjointed and screwed up from my perspective! I like a clean magazine view! That's why I rarely use pulse also! Fix Ziner developers!.Version: 2.5
✓ Some problemsOverall a good clean reader but it has some problems and bugs that pop up from time to time. For example when I play embedded video in the article, changing phone orientation will reset video playback. Very annoying..Version: 2.9
✓ IOS 8 FailCrashes on startup..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Awful tweeting interfaceThe main part of the app I really liked but when trying to tweet a story the interface becomes incoherent and unusable, which is a deal breaker for me. Shame..Version: 2.9
✓ Review by an actual user.No connection to developer at all... App is okay as is with a few exceptions: 1. While you can change the font in the summary display you can't change the excruciatingly small article font. For this reason alone I'm going to find another reader. 2. The UI needs tweaking to more easily select and control read, save, share, mark all etc. Right now it is like an Easter egg hunt to find any controls. Good start but needs polishing..Version: 2.9
✓ Crashes on iOS8It's a fail on ios8.Version: 2.3.7
✓ Buggy and frustratingThis and past versions are unusable. The app will refresh the feed and kick you out of the article you're currently reading. This happens every 5mins or so when connected to the Internet. I've reported this to support a few times this year. No update has corrected this annoyance. I paid for the "pro" version as well. It's a pity because the app has so much potential to be the best rss aggregator. Many features make this app standout, among them: readability, sharing options, auto night time theme, and adjusting the cache size. Its only real competitor is Reeder. Who I will now be switching to..Version: 2.5
✓ Originally Loved it Buuuut...Here’s my original review: "The RSS reader I've been waiting years for. Simple, clean, elegant, smooth. Someone was finally listening! I'm in!" I was so excited to finally find an app like this, even bought the Pro version. But within the last few weeks, it’s crashed a few times and froze. I’ve emailed support, no response at all. And since iOS 8 was installed on my phone, it crashes every time I try to open an article. Again, sent to support, no response at all. Until it gets fixed or updated, I wouldn’t recommend this app at all, especially if you’re running iOS 8..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Already replaced feedly with this, however:- I miss the clean up view of Feedly(for articles, it eliminates stuff not belonging to the article), it would be great if something similar can be implemented - the feeds that have no images - like reddit links pulled through rss - look ugly in the magazine mode, perhaps a generic placeholder image could be implemented -in list view there is no way to access the feeds/settings bar which means you have to open an article and then switch feed from there that being said IMO this works better than feedly, has a "lighter" feel to it and the mag view for feeds that have images looks gorgeous, I really really like it. Should the dev fix my annoyances I will have no problem rating 5 stars..Version: 2.0
✓ Too few optionsThis app is okay for people who have a set of RSS feeds they will read or skim once. The navigation is a pain, and keys are tiny tiny. I have a feeling this was designed for phones and not for iPads..Version: 2.3.4
✓ Getting long in the toothI love Ziner but it's now looking abandoned. Would pay again for future updates..Version: 2.9
✓ Share sheet?I like the app overall, but it desperately needs share sheet access. I don't use the default mail app and have no way to share articles as a result..Version: 2.9
✓ This does not work anymoreFix the authorization or remove it from the store..Version: 2.9
✓ EXCELLENT But....This is the reader I use the most. The only thing I cannot stand is when I leave the app for a moment and come back I lose the article that I'm reading because the app refreshes when you return. STOP THAT!!.Version: 2.9
✓ One of the best but ...This is one of the best rss readers out there and will get 5 stars from me when: - It supports OneNote as a 3rd party extension - They respond to my email requesting the above, in one way or another !.Version: 2.9
✓ No iPad 1Required iOS6 so won't run on iPad 1 Why does iTunes let me buy stuff it knows I can't run :-(.Version: 1.2
✓ Looks nice, but clumsy to navigate, especially on small devicesI intensely dislike the Feedly app, so have been looking for a replacement for a long time now. I was excited to give Ziner a try, based on the glowing reviews, but so far, it strikes me as an app for people who like to sit and leisurely thumb through the entire newspaper, rather than an app for scanning through high volume feeds, picking out the interesting stuff and marking the rest as read. The navigation requires a lot of awkward gestures that make your hands hurt unnecessarily-- double tapping, swiping from the left (kind of annoying on a small screen) `Mark all as read' seems to require a super-long tap, and then pressing a cryptic arrows icon. Also, although I was excited to see a settings section devoted to reordering the feeds, there doesn't seem to be a way to reorder the categories. It doesn't give them in the order that they were designated on Feedly, and I can't see any graceful way to just swap the order of two categories. All in all, this seems so far like a nice proof of concept, but sadly, it's not going to replace even the deeply flawed feedly app for now..Version: 2.0
✓ Great reader but...Can we please have support for the iPhone 6's great larger display without scaling?.Version: 2.5
✓ Very Unstable - No UpdatesI've been using this app as my main RSS reader over a few months. Great features, but the app constantly freezes and requires a restart. Worst yet, it hasn't been updated for over a year and a half..Version: 2.9
✓ UnusableCrashed three times in the first five minutes of using it. Deleted immediately..Version: 2.9
✓ Broken AppPlease remove listing. This app is no longer functional. - Feedly Google login is broken. - Full text via readability is no longer available. Please add support for the new Mercury web parser..Version: 2.9
✓ When it's not crashing, it's greatI used to use this app exclusively but with iOS 9, the sharing features cause constant crashing with no fix in sight..Version: 2.9
✓ Very nice but a few features would make it greatSep 18, 2014: a day later after install iOS 8, the app keeps crashing after opening first article. This is the same on both the iPhone and the iPad. This has to be fixed for it to be usable on ios 8. Hence I'm lowering my rating to 1 from 4 until this is fixed. Sep 17, 2014: I've been using this app for a bit now both on the iPhone and iPad, and find that it generally provides a really nice experience. Having said that, there are a couple of features that I think would elevate the app further. 1. Ability to organize the folders/categories in the feed. Now the top level is alphabetically sorted. Most of the other apps I've used provides this feature and I'd love to see the same here. 2. A way to see the folders/categories for the starred items rather than grouping all starred items into one group, "Starred". This is something that Reeder provides and it's really useful. Thanks for all the work making this app as good as it is today..Version: 2.3.7
✓ OutdatedUsed to be the cleanest, fastest, most straight to the point rss experience in the app store but the developer stopped updating it and won't provide support (for pro customer). The app is essentially broken at this point. A real shame..Version: 2.9
✓ It literally won't work.I downloaded this broken app to use as a Feedly reader. It suffers a crash every time I select 'Feedly' as the source, and it simply does not work. Today it gave me a popup to upgrade to Pro for only 2.99 / month! What a deal! So I deleted the app. One star is very generous. This app provides the literal same amount of access to news RSS feeds as Pokemon Go. However, Pokemon Go made zero claims to ever provide this service, so they have an excuse..Version: 2.9
✓ No update in 3 Years?!Update the app to support the new devices and features please. ;-) Then you get 5 stars..Version: 2.9
✓ MrGood but badge icon not working.Version: 2.9
✓ Needs major updateVery fast RSS reader, but article font is too small and there's no option to change it..Version: 2.9
✓ IOS9 Keyboard IssuesI can't post to Twitter anymore because the the input doesn't show up with the keyboard..Version: 2.9
✓ Crashy as all heck.Used to be bad with Feedbin, now it's terrible. Crashes constantly..Version: 2.9
✓ Log in errorsIf you want people to use it, at least allow them to login and try it, it might be very good But so frustrated, I just gave up.Version: 2.9
