4/5Refresh
Update: it does retrieve articles but only periodically though they are limited by how often Apple allows. Hopefully you can get the background refresh to work like News Explorer which I found to be very good. Original: I love the layout and I want to make this my primary RSS reader but it doesn't background refresh or retrieve new articles (though your website says it does) It does retrieve them if I manually refresh each time. Is this a bug? Five stars if this gets fixed

3/5Great reading UI
I appreciate the reading experience. The app has one of the best clean interfaces for reading articles without distractions. For some reason saving bookmarks in the app doesn’t work, though so I have to save them in another app.

3/5It’s ok with some flaws
Reply To Dev 23/07/22 Yeah, I read back my review and realized it is pretty confusing. By group by URL feed I meant it for the timeline section. Basically, the timeline would show the feeds as usual, but have an option to group it by the same feed URL. You can check NetNewsWire for reference. Original Review The app icon is definitely cool. But that’s about it. Similar Feeds and Interesting Feeds -The app does have two features I like: similar feeds and feeds that I would find interesting powered by machine learning? What’s Missing - However, it is missing “unread” and “read” filter, and group by URL feed. - Wish we could also jump to the next article when finished reading one article. Issues - It is pretty slow when swiping back and forth. - iCloud sync is not working well. My iPad Pro 12.9 2018 and iPhone SE 2020 are not syncing. Final Thoughts - It’s ok, kinda meh but I could forgive it because of the two useful features it has. Hopefully we can see some fixes to iCloud sync and the filters.
