feedly. Read more, know more. App Reviews

It will be great, if I can open article in new tab without preview pop-up (May be add link heer: hide//save//open)

Maybe I just can’t find it yet, but the fundamental point of a RSS reader is the ability to point an arbitrary RSS feed XML URL at it and have it use that. The tool didn’t understand such a URL. When the cloud emphasis is so great that it cannot open a simple RSS feed by URL, the product has failed.

What’s the fing diff? Plus, customize fonts don’t work at all.

what a stupid app design.. nice interface, needs more work without boating it. hope they get it right with the next update

Great app, but crashes frequently.

This is pretty much just a web app view, in a native window. one advantage is the unread count in your browser. Other than that, it doesn’t do much for you that you don’t get in Safari. I don’t see keyboard navigation, integration with OS X, or anything really all that special. Between this and the web app, I’d just use the web app. At least there, you can access your browser bookmarks and such.

I used to have Reeder + gmail. Gmail dropped the RSS feed support and Reeder just dropped the version to update to new services. Feedly came to rescue. Not only its transitioned the gmail feed, it’s is fast, the UI on the iOS is slick. Give feely a try for few days and you will not go back, these guys are awesome! I was waiting for Mac OS app so great to see this too.

Feedly is a great reader I switched from another popular reader once they lost google reader support and I have not been disappointed. It’s great to see this avaiable as a mac app, i didn’t care for using the website, not sure why thought. Most times I just use thier ipad app the only problem with that is that there are some sites that site post videos in flash so I can’t view them on the ipad. This app fixes that. A must have is you use RSS feeds.

i hate how it has to open my web browser each time i save to pocket. that really interrupts my flow.

I believe I initially gave the first version of this app a very high rating. It’s still a useful app, but I’m bumping it down to 3 stars because I get way too many beach ball lockups that require a force quit. The lockups may be somehow related to Flash content in some of the pages this app tries to display. It would be nice if there was a setting to block Flash altogether.

First and foremost, this app is incredibly unstable. It crashes everytime I use it for more than a minimal amount of time. I don’t mind that it’s a native app window to the web version, but it’s missing key features! If you open a page in a tab to read, you have no way of retrieving the link to the page you’re reading, and you’ve lost all the sharing features that you get through the Feedly homepage. You also have no way to selectively choose to open links in a browser or open links on a viewed page in a new tab. There’s no browser navigation when reading articles either. I was hoping this app would be like the iPhone and iPad apps, but it’s definitely not ready for prime time.

Simple browsing will crash the app, and it happens way to often to enjoy the app

As someone who doesn’t cherish the idea of major corporations tracking my every move on the web, I seriously dislike that Feedly requires social login and doesn’t provide their own. You lost me.

Feedly is, naturally, supposed to “feed” you stories throughout the day. What I like about RSS is that it is more professional. When I enter my office every morning, I want to read the news. I open up Feedly, and on a good day, it will not crash. But the experience is nothing more than a dedicated we browser. Nothing about the App makes it feel like an app. A couple of things I hope the Yosemite update does: 1. Creates an App experience. Something dedicated to the user and unique. 2. Notifications and/or widgets. I feel confident to say that Notification Center will replace the widget center (does anyone really use the widgets, really?). Here is Feedly’s opportunity. I want to customize my news experience. I do not want the onslought of Twitter, but I want to choose SCOTUSBlog, and maybe local news to get pushed. The other news is ancilliary and can be viewed later. If I could customize what gets pushed, and even enter key words or names to notify me of. For example, on SCOTUS, if I wanted to know about a 4th Amendment decision that was made, I could get that pushed to my desktop. 3. Create a standard for RSS feeds, such as tags, or keyword standards. The current experience is a waste of hard drive space. Just tag it in Safari and use Safari. The app provides nothing more.

I understand that Yosemite still has some kinks and you guys need time to work out yours with the new OS X upgrade. The bummer is it no longer works with Yosemite, I can’t open an articles. I hope it will be resolved soon, I like the app.

Font chantges don’t seem to apply and you can’t make the fonts bigger anywhere making this a poor apps for those of us without 20/20 peepers. Otherwise seems to work well and takes the load back out of the browerser which always seems to bog down a bit with feedly after a while. Also pretty crash prone, Just today it’s crashed at least 3 times pretty randomly (dispatch queue issues).

most of the features you get in other readers are on a paid pro subscription. I have used newnetwire, once a iOS then only mac, no forward development. Have been using leaf on mac which syncs with aol. and on ios I use feedderpro. Feedly app will not import opml files from leaf or aol. tried many ways, the import buton does not work Update 11/14/2014, The pro version is not worth anything. This software is free, and its shows. The app will not open pocket, buffer, and tech support is of no value. There are better apps out there, but this one is still a major disappointment.

This is terrible. Can’t use it. The top bar bounces and looks terrible when scrolling.

I was hoping this app gave a different and better experience than Feedly on the web, which I like better than any other RSS reader Ive found, but which lacks a lot in the usabiity department IMO. This app is actually just the web site in its own window. Unacceptible to me. Id love to see a true Feedly app, even if its not free, but this aint it. +1 star for not erasing my hard drive!

Multiple force quits a day, seems to happen when opening links within the app itself. Once these issues are resolved it will be a 5-Star app.
