Twitter login non-functional on iPhone XS Max + iOS 12.1.1
T.Jefferson
Is this a known issue? I’ve deleted and reinstalled, but problem persists.
Can't log in to Twitter. No support, either...

Love the Mac app, but this one is a disappointment. Not only is Twitter login non-functional, but email to support has gone unanswered for days.
Missing notification support
Hardcore Addict
The update was stated to add Notification Center support, but I have seen no evidence of that. Newsbar cannot be found in the Notification settings and I have received none despite having keywords set up. Despite the fallacious claim, the app is excellent overall.
Almost quite good

Overall design is quite good and well thought out. I do have issues with the fact that too often the original story is not retrievable and refreshment of stories is inconsistent, it best.
Newsbar on both iOS and macOS *were*my go to rss readers

I have been an ardent fan for many years. I liked the iCloud syncing. Since the last update to iOS and macOS they have both continually crashed. I cannot even export my opml file - the app crashes when I try. It is time to try something different. 9months later I saw that the app has been updated. I decided to give it a try. While I did not suffer any issues the interface feels old and outdated compared to modern rss readers. Time has not been kind to newsbar
It works.....but...

Adding new feeds is needlessly complex, or I'm too stupid to figure it out. One thing I'm absolutely certain of, I know how to touch the screen. Yet for some reason when I roux the settings or back button it takes a few tries to hit just the right spot to get the app to react the way you think it should. Now that I've spent six (6!) hours tracking down the exact URL for every feed I follow it works fairly well. I just wish it were easier to use.
Sir Crashes A lot !

I really like this app but....it's constantly crashing! I have the first IPad mini running iOS 7. I have read there are many problems with apps crashing with ios7. A fix gets it to five stars.
Could be better!

I have this rss feeder for my iMac and love it. I then downloaded it for iPad and love that it syncs for both. But, there is a big bug... when you turn the app in landscape, the app crashes every time. Also, sometimes news links cause the app to crash when the page loads, especially if there is a video. It would be better if the links open the page through Safari, rather than its own page within the app. Other than that. I'm very pleased and will continue to use this excellent rss app.
A good start, some issues

This biggest impression this app leaves on one is that it is balky, scrolling stalls often, after clicking on a story within an individual feed's listing, it oftens fail to load without clicking on another story first, then again on that story. Unlike many other iOS RSS readers, tweeting from the title listing (w summary) that appears on the right after tapping on the listed story results in an "empty" tweet. Issues.
