4/5Suggestion
Option for light gradient top to bottom to help Visually distinguish one article from another article in the List feed view. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what picture goes with what article. The gradient would help distinguish each article in the list view. Maybe better isThe option to increase padding between articles in list view. Seems like the text and the pictures are so evenly spaced it makes browsing a bit of a chore. This is when the pictures are large like on an iPad. Another option to show the web view of an article. Reader review doesn’t always show the pictures that go with the web view. If this app had this feature it would be the end-all to other apps for me. Check out fiery feeds. It does both of these but that one lack some critical share features this app has. One of these two apps is so close to being perfect.

5/5Best RSS app around.
Background refresh has been fixed and folders can be renamed. Title of review updated original review left below this. Can't rename folders after the latest update although the support section of the site says it is coming in the update. I would also like the ability to hide sources from the main feed if it's possible reason being is local news. My local area has three sources I added and removed because like any local news outlet they just spam garbage stories after garbage stories to try to get clicks. This ruins the experience of the main feed and I had to remove all local feeds however if I can hide them from the main feed and just check the local folder now and then that would be great. When in the feed view I just find the headlines more difficult to read than NetNewsWire. I tried all the fonts, sizes, picture sizes, etc it's just a little off to me. Background refresh doesn't actually refresh any feeds. The badge count doesn't change and when the app opens the same number of articles are loaded it takes a few seconds or or a pull down to update the feed. This is pretty annoying because there is no way to tell when new articles arrive without at least opening the app. Background app refresh is on in system and reeder settings. These are minor complaints but doesn't make it a 5 star app however it really is the best RSS app and it would be unfair to rate it lower. I don't feel the need to repeat all the reasons this app is awesome just read some other reviews or search online for "reader 5 review"

5/5Life Changing
I have read more longform articles in the past few months of having reader than I have in my entire life. This app has single-handedly changed my entire approach to reading. As someone with executive function disorder it is extremely draining to read and this app completely revolutionize that aspect of my life. this app has become so consequential to my life that I am more than willing to pay for it and support the Reeder team in anyway I can. I want for this app to see regular innovation such as ways to more readily categorize “reading for later” as well as a more up-to-date tagging system and a PDF reader or conversion reader. anybody who struggles to read, struggles to stay focused while reading or has to read over and over again please consider this app as it has turned me into a voracious reader.

4/5Great client!
I have used Reeder for a very long time. Since the days of Reeder 3. Every big release gets better and better. Honestly, this app deserves the full 5 stars, but I have one big issue. Why is there no full support for VoiceOver? Currently I have to configure the app to work with it through the apple settings and it works good. But I think it would work much better if it was native. Being visually impaired, I can see well enough to tap through the menus and at least VoiceOver works when reading the article itself. I think this great app would appeal to more people if this accessibility feature was implemented. Other than that, love the app. I highly recommend it to those looking to buy it. And if you still use RSS, certainly this app is worth every penny.

4/5Close to perfect
Reeder Classic is so close to perfect. Integrates with my self hosted FreshRSS instance, and makes it where I have to do almost no subscription management from FreshRSS directly. It’s also very customizable, with lots of reading options. The only fly in the ointment is it doesn’t remember my reading position in long articles. Many articles are too long to read in one sitting so I want to come back and finish later. Sometimes when I leave the app and come back, my reading position has been reset. Always if I switch to another article and come back it resets me to the top. This is a huge buzzkill because I waste a lot of time trying to find where I left off.

5.0.13
iCloud Feeds initial sync: Initial sync with iCloud can be rather slow. To make it clearer that Reeder is still syncing, the status message in the titlebar is now a bit more informative by displaying the number of items it has fetched so far and will change to “Fetching…” and “Still fetching…” if there are no new items in consecutive batches Reeder gets from iCloud. This update also fixes a couple of potential iCloud syncing issues. IMPROVED - Read Later (iCloud) sync performance - Feed parser FIXED - Articles sometimes not loading when opening from a widget - Reader View not working for some sites - Videos should not autoplay - Various issues with YouTube videos

-
5.1
IMPROVED - iCloud Feeds and Local: Reeder did not always remove archived articles as specified in the settings. Articles that were still present in the RSS feed were kept in Reeder, which was confusing. This update addresses this issue by using another method to keep track of articles that Reeder has already seen. - Feeds search when subscribing FIXED - Arabic text layout issues - Wrong link on YouTube videos - Issues with opening articles from widgets (yes, again, sorry) This update also improves crash-on-launch detection. These crashes usually mean that something with the local database went wrong and can’t be fixed. Also, you can always manually reset your local data and start from scratch by enabling “Reset Reeder” in Settings.app -> Reeder. If you’re using a sync service or iCloud, Reeder will restore your data.

· 16 May 2025
This update should fix two issues: - After some time the article viewer might go blank and not load any content anymore. - Opening the in-app browser sometimes will not load any content. (I couldn’t actually reproduce either of these myself, so I'm not 100% sure they're fixed now, but they should be.)
