HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (11 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Price and subscription50%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ 30 dollars a year for basic features like changing the icon and article actions. And yet I can't do something basic with the text like change the font. No thank you.
★★★★★ This is a good one with many options but way too expensive for just an iPhone and iPad app.
★★★★★ I realize apps are moving toward the subscription model.
Bugs, things not working18%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ - Does not show all articles - No navigation buttons, and the “swipe” does not work most of the time; there's a reason people put in navigation buttons - There should be no reason to make an account.
★★★★★ It's yet another “bright idea” that fails in it's most basic function in favor of cramming in “features” nobody asked for.
★★★★★ Can't see paying for a hamstring, buggy RSS reader (no matter how “nice looking”) when there are very adequate FREE alternatives.
Login and account problems14%

★★★★★ - Does not show all articles - No navigation buttons, and the “swipe” does not work most of the time; there's a reason people put in navigation buttons - There should be no reason to make an account.
★★★★★ I open the app, and it goes to the settings page where I must select a pre-existing news reader account, then a category...?
★★★★★ I do not need ANOTHER account.

★★★★★ Not very different from old version, except they locked features behind a subscription.
★★★★★ Unclear if the 50 is a daily limit or the first 50 forever.

★★★★★ I hope to support miniflux instances, although the fever api can indirectly support miniflux, but fever does not support slide read, and also in the phasing out, the official are not recommended.

Best rss reader

This is the best rss reader compared to the other clients. 5.0 update brings the support of freshrss, that’s wonderful. The only feature I want is opening link in the in-app safari on macOS.

★★★★★Sep 14, 2026
Removed Mark As Read Button

They removed the mark as read button from the top in 5.0 thus breaking the entire way I use this app. Not paying $39.99 again for an app that continues to worsen.

★★★★★Sep 14, 2026
Excellent app, great dev

I sent a feature request to the dev of this app. He got back to me and told me that it would eventually be in the works. Two years later, he followed up with me and told me it was live! That’s a huge selling point for me… plus, the app is fantastic. Highly recommend!

★★★★★Aug 29, 2026
Excellent!

I can’t believe this application isn’t more popular. This is an amazing app.

My honest review of Unread

• I moved to Unread after my old RSS app crashed too often. The move was smooth. • The OPML import worked with no errors. All my feeds loaded at once. • The design stays out of the way. Nothing sits between you and the article. You just read. • Tags group your feeds into themed lists. You can open one topic and catch up fast. This makes it easy to stay current on your favorite subjects. Unread earns five stars from me. I recommend it to any reader who wants a clean, distraction-free RSS app.

★★★★★Apr 26, 2026

after years of being on Reeder I somehow discovered this app that solved a lot of the little needs I had and some that I didn’t realise such as full article loading (with login credentials for paywalls) and the link+article support/view
