2026-06-18	Sy*****	Deleting an account is an exercise in madness. Go to Erase page > delete button grayed out and instructions advise going to the Billing page. What billing? I never signed up for a paid account > goes to Billing > tf? Why does the page say I have a free trial? I never opted into one … nothing on the page to indicate canceling this free trial I didn’t opt into. This is SHADY and infuriating. Don’t use this product.

2026-06-17	It*****	I’ve been a long time Feedly user and it’s suddenly requesting a login. Now, the MS login option is trying to get me to use a Feedly login when I attempt to login with my MS federated login. No clue why they’d suddenly sunset this functionality. Guess I’ve gotta submit a ticket to their support team or just get off this platform. They’re going to lose a long term customer as a result. Oh, well…

2026-06-01	dt*****	The Today view no longer shows just the past 24 hours. On a seemingly random basis other posts from the past 30 days are are shown as well. This behavior started about a month or so ago.

2026-06-01	Cg*****	I've used Feedly for years and love this app! But a few weeks ago an issue started. Anytime I open the app it tells me I have to log in. If I quit the app 2 or 3 times it'll eventually load without having to log in, but it's definitely friction to the experience. Please fix it soon!

2026-05-30	Ma*****	When switching from one source to the next, articles show for a split second before vanishing and being replaced by a loading screen. This has been an issue for weeks on both iPhone and iPad. Reinstalling the app does not solve the problem, and friends of mine are experiencing the same issue. I will gladly give five stars once this is fixed. Thank you.

2026-05-28	ca*****	I’ve used RSS feeds for, like, forever since Google killed their reader. Feedly does its job and does it well.

2026-05-17	J-*****	I love this RSS feed and have used it for years without issue. Recently it’s developed a problem. When I switch between sources it will initially show the articles and quickly they will disappear and be replaced with a loading animation that remains forever, the articles never load. If they fixed that it would be back to perfect.

2026-05-13	Li*****	Title basically says it all, but I used to use this app daily but now I have to login every single time I open the app. And sometimes the login does not even work. Gets frustrating and at this point it just deleted it because there are other alternatives
