Reviews

Wonderful app with an excellent, responsive developer
mnbutera

This is a great app with outstanding support. I purchased Unread long ago and loved the interface and thoughtful design. When Golden Hill Software bought the app, I emailed the developer asking for Feedbin saved searches as a support request. He said it was on their list of things to do and the latest release (1.9.1) added saved search functionality. It's nice to have an app under active development with a developer who is interested in building a better experience. Highly recommended!


Gorgeous, Intuitive, and Fast
mmccroskey

I’ve had the pleasure of using Unread for years now, since the Jared Sinclair days, and in my opinion it remains the best, most beautiful, most intuitive, and most reliable RSS reader on the App Store. Go premium — it’ll be money very well-spent.


Solid app. Great dev!
taliwalt

New review: Still awesome. Requesting support for “This old reader” and/or FeedHQ! Old review: Unread is a great rss reader. Easy on the eyes and pulls the full text of an article. I purchased it ages ago but was a little disappointed in the developers at the time. Unread's new developer use awesome. Super fast to respond to emails. There's one feature Unread doesn't have which makes it a 4.5 start app (for me). I'd like to be able to use it independently from a 3rd party aggregator—My Feedly list is overwhelmingly large. For many users, that's not an issue. When I emailed the developer about it here responded in under a minute. I have no hesitation in recommending Unread. I paid $5 for it years ago, and it's more than paid for itself!


It's now perfect
GregoryXandrew

Your app is simply the best. And now with inbox by Gmail integration, my requests are complete. Thank you so much!! Your app was one of 3 things that pulled me back from Android. It's THAT good. Thank you!!


Have to pay on both iPhone and iPad
HaydenUI

Generally, the UI is of the best compared with other RSS apps on iOS. However, users have to pay on both iPhone and iPad and each time $10. If this feature is intended, I have to say it is quite expensive for an RSS reader. Another suggestion is to add another article list view mode: only article title. As another review said, it requires many scrolls to read all the list.


Amazing RSS Reader
visionpoint

Beautiful interface and options, and the developer is responsible always taking care of big fixes and improving the experience.


Arabic Support

Please looking for Arabic language support


Great App
Ellpbro

It’s a great app. I’ve been using it for years now and the support is fantastic. One gripe I’ve always had was, there is no option to change the article list preview size or change the font. The text sizes are pretty large and the image previews limit the article list to 2 articles per scroll. Option to change that would be nice.


Good reader wishes it had a service
Papa.Baker

Great RSS reader, wish it had a RSS service, hate Inoreaders ads. Excellent design, pleasure to read, easy to navigate. Wish more developers would focus on the interface like the ones who build this app.


Cannot copy GIF
AG1981x

Anytime I try to save/copy GIF image from a feed I end up with a still instead of animation. No other app does that.
