Crashes constantly on my phone. Click to change view, crash. Click to edit feeds, crash. Doesn't matter how pretty you make the app, if it doesn't work then what's the point?

Very good RSS reader. Elegant format. Easy to catch-up with news quickly. Will add one more star if a widget with scrollable list is provided...

When I have the option to pay for an app, I'm expecting it to work flawlessly on the latest devices, no hiccups, no stutters whatsoever. This app is jittery/stuttery when scrolling up and down everywhere. It's driving me insane. It's miles away from working as smoothly as it should. I've got a OnePlus 6 so on a SD845 things generally are buttery smooth, BUT NOT on this app. How am I supposed to pay a monthly fee for this? I am literally waiting for it to be worked on properly and to see it run smoothly THEN pay, but you're doing such a poor job, that I'm just not motivated to do so. I'm disappointed.

Visually appealing app with jus the right functionality for a casual power user. It would be great if everything would work, but at present it is plagued by problems. First, Newstab frequently crashes or fails to start. More importantly, the news aggregator generating the 'All' tab for each section had serious issues. For any language but English, it does not work at all or extremely erratically. Still waiting for a good news aggregator that has discovered other languages besides English exist.

As a visual person, I like the usability, layout, and display options! It's definitely one of the best rss readers out there. However, I wish there were more features for customizing sections: rearranging section order (which you can only do by +'ing and -'ing sections—it's not even alphabetical) and editing color and thumbnails. The stock "Business" or "Science" panels look weird beside custom "Home" and "Cuisine" panels (which should be pre-loaded too if "Sports" is considered standard...).

there doesn't seem to be a way to change performance. in 15 minutes of foreground and background activity, the app used 3% battery. For reference, the old RSS reader i was using would use less than 0.5% over 30 minutes. options to control how and when the app refreshes would be good. only had the app for about an hour, though. might update this in the future. Also, having the app preloaded with a bunch of feeds that you can only delete one at a time is rather annoying.
