Gone down hill bad – Feedly - Smart News Reader Review

So here I am still using this trash that constantly throws stories I have marked as read into me feed. It’s pretty bad when a lot of the stuff I follow is similar so these different outlets publish almost identical stories then I get Feedly into the mix. So I keep seeing the same stories over and over and over. Just today I mark a story read later hit the bottom of the app mark all as read and an hour later the exact same story and it’s even marked as read later is in my feed. Why are you so bad? I wanted to update and add I’m confused with the white screen and what I mean is when you click on a story then click on the title to be taken to the actual article you get this extremely bright white screen for a few seconds before you get taken to the story. My issue is what’s the point of having a dark mode or nite mode whatever it’s called but then blind your readers. I read Feedly a lot of the time in the dark as I have heavy blinds so it’s very dark in my room and it’s gotten to the point I click on a story and then hurry and turn my phone and wait a few seconds then turn it back to read the story. It happens to all the articles I read even ones that when they come up are in their own dark mode. I don’t know why my reviews keep getting deleted. Not sure if it’s a system thing when an update to the app comes out or what. I have used Feedly for what feels like maybe 10 years. I used to enjoy this app and have no issues but I actually hate using the app. I don’t know why but I constantly keep seeing the same news stories over and over and over. Some of them it seems to be the people I follow as they will post a story then post it again with a word or two changed in the title of the article. Others I know are the app. Just today I saved a story and then hit the button at the bottom mark all as read and they all disappeared but later that same day there is that story again with the read later tag I marked it so I can read it again. I have tried opening every article to mark it read, hitting the button at the bottom and something else that I can’t quite recall that also didn’t work. My main issue with this is a lot of let’s say the video game articles I read post the same stories so all day I see the same stories they post and then the app recycling what I have marked as read so it gets to the point I’m tired of seeing something and don’t care to read the article. Another small thing that is kinda annoying is I’ll hit the button at the bottom and all the stories will go away to be replaced by 2 and I hit the button at the bottom again and I get 2 more and do it again and get 2 more. These are older stories so not sure it’s just the app not grabbing them all or how it works exactly. The last thing I’ll say is I have tried to go find better apps but I have used Feedly so long and on a daily basis that it’s so hard to find something that works as good as I’m used to. After today I think I’m gonna force myself off it as it’s just really annoying and defeats the purpose of it being an app to read stories when I don’t want to read the stories as I keep seeing them over and over. Another thing I wanted to add and forgot is Feedly half the time doesn’t want to work when I’m on my WiFi. I turn it off and the story or what I’m looking at will load right up. I know it’s not an issue with my WiFi as I will exit Feedly and test other apps and they all load fine on my WiFi.
