User Reviews

Reviewers praise the home-screen widgets and the simple RSS-reader style experience, but freemium limits and reliability concerns dominate. The free tier often restricts to a single feed, with unclear limits and perceived gatekeeping. Users report slow performance, broken widgets, and infrequent updates, plus missing features and limited customization. Feed availability is inconsistent, with notable omissions like AP. Widget formatting can look bad at times. Addressing the free-tier limits, reliability, and broader feed support would likely raise satisfaction.

Pros

Excellent home screen widget support for news
Simple, intuitive UI that works well as a home-screen news reader
Feels like a proper RSS reader on the Home Screen

Cons

Free version limits to one feed with unclear/hard-to-evaluate limits
Stability and performance issues: slow article loading, widgets breaking, long gaps without updates
Lack of essential features and limited customization (no mark all read, poor article customization)
Incomplete feed coverage and missing feeds (e.g., AP) / RSS support not comprehensive
Widget text formatting is poor

Looks cool

This used to be a great app. One of the best for using widgets on your home screen. It’s been broken now for over a month and 9 months since the last update.
