Every time I open the app I have to go in and tap All else it does not display the way I want. How come?
Seems broken

Honestly, it seems impossible to search for what o want to add, and providing it with a URL seems to fail most of the time as well. Explore feature is not able to be customized and the categories are pretty sloppy. Can’t seem to stay logged in on the browser. No mobile friendly website (forgive me for not wanting an app)! I can’t start feeds like webcomics front the beginning without jumping though infinite pages... just disappointing really.
Safari Reading List

This app needs to be able to add articles from my feed to the Safari Reading List.

I pay for this app and am constantly getting ads covering the lower quarter of my screen ESPECIALLY since I have location turned off on my phone and they are serving local ads. Not to mention the fact that I’m getting ads using an app that I pay $7 a month for.
Issues still remain

Very good in many respects but missing some key features. Still no native iOS 13 Dark Mode (they haven’t switched from their old custom dark mode thus screens like sharing and onboarding are still in light mode. You can have articles open in safari built in reader mode automatically which is great but you can’t disable that for select feeds like you can in other apps like Reeder 4. For instance Daring Fireball and HackerNews feed you will always want to open in feed mode rather than the actual linked page. This is the biggest issue I’ve found. Other apps like Reeder support background refresh so feeds are always up to date. Feedly oddly still does not so each time I open have to manually refresh. macOS was updated last year to make safari more secure yet they still have not updated their Safari extension so still no way to save articles in safari to the read later system, not even a js bookmarklet. No Siri shirtcut support like other reader apps. All in all the app is bit behind the times in supporting all the iOS technologies. Also the action buttons are on the top out of reach rather than the bottom when viewing an article like most all other apps that have in thumb reach at bottom.
Disappointing, steady drop in quality

The app seems to be getting steady updates, but unfortunately, they make the experience worse more often than not. Previously, refreshing the feeds list would fail to find new items until the app was force-crashed, then the feeds list would insist that new items existed but the feed view would show “all caught up”. Most recently, the feeds list frequently fails to paint at all, just showing a solid white panel that never recovers, so back to force-crashing. While all this is going on, the app frequently resets when running in the background, so getting an iMessage or slack message is now likely to make Feedly forget what you’re reading, and the feature to leave that story as unread if the app switches away no longer works, so my rss reader is losing track of things I want to read (I.e. the cardinal sin). I expect more from my iPad Pro, get it from other apps, and used to get it from Feedly.

The navigation is terrible and the menu often doesn’t load upon launch. Would never pay for this lack of quality.
