5/5Happy pro user here! 🙋🏻‍♀️
I’m really really happy with the app, it has a beautiful and intuitive interface, and the widget is hands down the best feature. Before using it I’d rarely gravitate towards opening the app and checking articles, but seeing an interesting headline while browsing my phone gets me curious and reading. The other features like the summaries and built-in simple reader are awesome. Thanks for making a (no joke) life changing app!

5/5Best dev! Hidden Gem
I bought this sure unseen based off the dev response….i just typed out a huge review and the App Store crashed so I’m going to come back and restore it later.

EXPECT MORE ORB HAPPY W/ LESS · 31 Jul 2026
2/5Sure, it’s cute..
There’s no sorting, no comment management, no custom views, just the handful of views the devs think you want. No tracking of your location in the feed, no tracking of what’s been read. I’m not impressed.

2/5AI feature disappointing and slow animations
The AI feature doesn’t summarize the article; it only summarizes the comments. The animation of the navbar at the button isn’t at native framerate; it is slower.
