4/5Bring this back life please
The app itself works but you can tell it needs some updates. All the options in the article view do not work. The article preview is so tiny you can barely read it when you click on something in your feed. I’d love to see this updated. Nextcloud users don’t get much love on IOS ha! This is the only RSS app besides fiery feeds that works with Nextcloud news. FF is subscription based though.

4/5GREAT APP, but I have some suggestions
Please allow the app to have the sepia theme even though my phone is on dark mode. The black background makes it hard to read on websites.

2/5Regularly freezes when updating feeds
Every time the app updates the state of feeds it freezes for a significant period of time. It is then usually quite sluggish afterwards for a little while. The display for articles in a feed uses some weird unintuitive indentation and I’m not quite sure why, but something about the layout seems to make it harder than I would expect to just scan through articles.

4/5Good
Works good but some feeds duplicate articles thru this app (checked on server and the duplicates aren’t there). Other then that it’s a solid app
