## Review summary

Users praise Pluma as a feature-rich, easy-on-the-eyes RSS reader with an affordable one-time purchase option. However, the most frequent complaint is that the developer appears to have abandoned the app, with little response or updates. Syncing and background updates often fail, and several users report login, subscription, and in-app purchase problems, including payments that did not unlock features. Basic customization is also paywalled.

### Cons

- Developer appears to have abandoned the app, with slow or no responses and few updates

- Login, subscription, and purchase problems, including payments without unlocked features
