Review summary

Capy Reader is praised for its clean UI, strong external-sync (FreshRSS/Feedbin), and a solid reading experience, with active open-source development; however, users regularly request horizontal article navigation and greater gesture customization.

Pros

Clean, minimal UI that keeps the focus on content.
Excellent sync and integration with RSS services (FreshRSS and Feedbin) plus OPML import with tag preservation.
Great in-app reading experience: supports multiple media types, strong text controls, and reader mode that stays out of the way.
Open-source with active development and responsive feedback; generally not monetized.

Cons

Lack of horizontal swipe navigation between articles; current swipes are vertical only.
Desire for more gesture customization in the reading area to tailor navigation and actions.

2025-01-31	Lu*****	Best RSS reader I've already tested, the in-app reader works with all media types, the controls over text are amazing and the integration with FreshRSS works better than any other app I've tried. Thanks for this amazing app!

2025-01-23	Pa*****	Love the app! The biggest thing holding me back from giving it 5 stars is that I prefer switching between articles using horizonal swipes instead of vertical. Adding that as an option would be great!

2025-01-02	Do*****	Excellent in its essence. Suggestions I would like the developer to consider: adding the ability to customize more gestures, especially in the reading area. I missed the possibility of dragging sideways and going to the next article, or dragging down to open it in my browser, perhaps this is still customary with Inoreader, but possibilities and customization will always be welcome.

2024-12-25	Vi*****	the only missing feature for me is the ability to swipe left and right to navigate between articles, instead of swipe up and down.
