User Reviews

Current is praised for a calming, minimalist reading experience, a reinvention of RSS with Currents/River concepts, and strong customization with no subscription. However, reviewers frequently report bugs, slow performance, and Mac-specific content issues, plus missing features (keyboard navigation, built-in browser, fetch-full-feed, Today view) and occasional UI glitches. Several users note improvements after updates, but broad reliability and polish are still needed for a consistently smooth experience across devices.
Pros
  • Calming, uncluttered reading experience that reduces overwhelm and unread-count pressure
  • Innovative reinvention of RSS with Currents and River concepts, offering an elegant, intuitive flow
  • No mandatory subscription; highly customizable and flexible
  • Strong visual design that feels polished and aesthetically pleasing
  • Helps manage many feeds without feeling chaotic, making long-form reading feasible
Cons
  • Buggy and unstable across platforms (iOS, iPad, Mac) with network errors and glitches
  • Slow startup and article loading, plus overall performance issues
  • Mac-specific problems showing full content and reliable reading on Mac
  • Missing essential features and usability gaps (keyboard navigation, integrated browser, automatic fetch full feed, Today view) and annoyances like undo prompts and persistent 'From Current' sources
  • Content display inconsistencies and UI glitches (blank/partial content, image placement, list rendering issues)

Current has become my preferred RSS reader. I love the reading pane, with its clean format, large readable fonts, and nice integration of text and images. It took me a few weeks to get used to Current’s method of managing feeds, but it’s working smoothly for me now. I have a few minor issues; I wish Current kept track of my position in the Voices sidebar, instead of returning me to the top of the list after reading an article. But overall, this is a great app!
