Excellent news reader

Version 1.11.3
This app is pretty much the perfect news reader for me, I use it daily on iPad and iPhone. The UI is smooth and intuitive on both screen sizes, and syncing privately through iCloud is a great use of that service. I can’t think of a single thing that would make it better!

Excellent News Aggregator

Excellent news app, packed with features and well designed. Using this now instead of the stock news app, which is seriously irritating with the constant plugging of News+. Only thing missing, which apparently is in development, is a means to filter topics, as well as sources. Highly recommend.

Fantastic piece of software. Could it look better?

Version 1.9.17
Having been an avid RSS user since forever I’ve tried a lot of different software but had been stuck on Reeder the last few years. Then on attempting to do some newsreading on my Apple Watch I came across News Explorer and ponied up. It gets 5 stars for flexibility - you can read on your Apple Watch and Apple TV! And there are lots of pleasing customisation options. But visually it doesn’t seem as well designed as Reeder. And I wish I could customise the font used in the main UI listing screens (you can in the actual articles). Or at least there should be some options as to weight of text. At moment it’s very heavy looking, which makes it feel a bit old fashioned. With a bit of a design spruce this would be the RSS king.

Very satisfied

Version 1.9.7
Rarely if ever do I write a review. Further, it is rare that I buy an app that I find truly useful in daily life (with the exception of OmniFocus), but this is impressive. A great and intuitive design brings all RSS and Twitter feeds together in a very accessible layout across (and in sync) all Apple devices. The best news reader I have used and is, in part, what Apple News should have been. If you enjoy browsing the news you will not be disappointed.

Great RSS Reader, But How About Automatic Full Text

Version 1.8.14
Definitely the best RSS client I’ve used. But can we please get automatic full text for articles? lire, another RSS application does this and it works well and without any user interaction. Whereas with News Explorer, you have to open the article and then click the icon in the toolbar. If this could be an option, that would be great thanks. Also, some images fail to appear/load while in full text/reader mode.

The Best, By A Long, Long Way

Version 1.8.14
Ive used many a reader, some really good, some not. But all of them annoyed me in one way or another.
Not This one.
(If you don’t want to read whole review, just buy the app, you won’t regret it).
I was using Feedly with Reeder, pretty good, pretty annoying also. Now Feedly are asking for a subscription to add more feeds, not a chance. The app’s not good enough anyway, but now you want me to pay money to use something that annoys me?!? Nope.
When I first saw this app, with the price tag, it put me off (why pay when so many free options?!). But I was getting so fed up with the others, I thought I’d give it a shot. And that’s when I realised why I’m paying, you pay for what you get & It’s worth every penny.
I love it. Really easy (and nice) to use, looks great & you can customise the look to suit your taste.
It seems quite simple at first glance, but simple and effective is always the best combo, and the developers absolutely nailed it (congrats!).
Adding new feeds, reading, favouriting and sharing articles. So simple and genuinely enjoyable to use. I’ve already recommended this app to quite a few people and will continue to do so!
It’s so good that I’ll be purchasing the desktop application also, which is more expensive than the mobile, but it’s worth it to me for 2 reasons....the developers deserve to be paid & I want the same ease of use on my laptop!!
The only thing I don’t like about it, is the app icon!! For such a lovely app, the icon just doesn’t do it justice! Please make a nicer one devs!!
Easy 5*. Would be 6* if the icon was different 😉

The best thing since morning coffee (or tea if you prefer)

Version 1.8.9
This app has worked perfectly for me until last week when Google News has seized control of my searches listed under “Donald Trump”. The app still shows that is collecting items on Mr Trump, but clicking on an item takes me to a frozen Google News page which doesn’t include items on the subject I’m looking for. Perhaps the developer can check to see what is going on and I can give the app, the Stars it deserves.
I’m pleased that the developer has looked into my problem. It appears to be a problem with Google news. The developer has provided me with a way to overcome it. Full marks with a speedy reply, I will reinstate the five stars.

Excellent standalone RSS feed reader

Version 1.8.2
I was using the equally brilliant "Unread" app for RSS feed reading together with a Feedbin account for the syncing. But paying a subscription for Feedbin when I’m already paying for iCloud storage seems like a waste of money. Google searches for iCloud-enabled RSS readers eventually turned up this app, so I took a chance and bought it.
I’m glad to report that it works very well and sync works perfectly. The reading experience is very good and has all the features I typically look for. I promptly cancelled Feedbin and feel confident that this app will meet my needs just as well, for a fraction of the cost.
The iPad Pro and iPhone are my main computers so I don’t need the Mac app at the moment but if you do, it’s apparently excellent as well.
