How do I get the toolbar back? I hate it when updates break apps and you can’t roll back in iOS.

Love news blur, you should definitely use it. It's totally worth the money.

First let me say that I love newsblur and I have no problem paying for this service. I use it on all my devices. It's awesome. That said, there are some problems with the iOS app on the iPad Pro 12.9: - Will spontaneously crash sometimes - Orientation changes sometimes reveal a white box that obscures ~25% of the article. Only a force close will fix for that orientation. - Split screen stops the share box from appearing - On return to the app in Split screen text continues off the screen to the right. Changing the split size will sometimes fix it and sometimes return you to the article list and reload articles, burying the one that you were reading. - In Split screen options buttons will randomly disappear - In split screen an attempt to share will sometimes crash the app
New release (9.0) has much worse usability

Hiding the status bar means there's no easy way to exit a story or scroll to the top. The story list screen item layout is terrible, with overlapping text everywhere.
Great RSS reader with free push notifications!
Wow people?
NewsBlur is a great RSS reader. I like it better than Feedly because free push notifications are included. I read a paid IFTTT subscription is necessary for Feedly push notifications. The free push notifications in NewsBlur don’t show the full text of the article but the notification of a new article from any RSS feed is an awesome feature! The premium version gives better push notification options.
Lame Freemium Model

App is generally fairly solid, does RSS about as well as could be expected. However, you must upgrade to a “premium tier” in order to view full article text which effectively makes the app useless for free-tier users. Uninstalled.
Once great

Used this app every day for 3 years. Was once great but the new version puts all the best features behind a paywall. Definitely not worth $30/year when there are other rss readers out there that offer the same functionality for free.
Pros of the app just became premium

Big fan of this app for years. However, most of the “Pros” just turned into premium features at an OUTRAGEOUS price. Switched to a different app today.
