User Reviews

Feeddler is praised for its clean, customizable UI and lightweight performance. It handles multiple services with a single, paid (no subscription) model and remains a trusted daily reader for many. However, users frequently report post-update login problems, unreliable Full Text viewing, and bugs like content reloading loops. Perceived maintenance gaps after updates also surface in reviews. Overall, strong design and flexibility are offset by stability and update-related issues.

Pros

Clean, simple, well-designed UI thats easy to customize.
Lightweight and efficient; performs well on iPad/iPhone.
Supports multiple services and multiple accounts; flexible feed sources.
One-time purchase to remove ads; avoids ongoing subscription.
Longstanding staple that users rely on daily; strong layout for organizing feeds.

Cons

Login issues after updates (Google login and account flow) that prevent access.
Full Text view often broken; forced web view with ads and inconsistent results.
Feeds can reload or loop repeatedly, causing wasted time and frustration.
Maintenance issues: updates can break features and developer responses are perceived as slow or absent.

Recent reviews

It has been the first app that I open every morning on my iPad. Literally, for years. RSS is so useful that I can’t believe it ever tailed off in popularity. Feedler is clean and consise, easy to customize, and lightweight. I’ve tried bunches of others and deleted them each in less that a day. Feedler doesn’t go out of its way to be a show boat. It just delivers the news that I want from the sites that I like (that offer RSS). Come on web developers, add rss to your site. Increase your traffic in just a few strokes.

No updates in 3 years and it seems to have stopped working yesterday after I updated os (or maybe the old reader login is just broken) but I found the app RSS Mobile that doesn’t need any logins or nag about premium features for in app purchase.
