Seems to be dead?
     
by nefariousporpoises · October 7, 2025

I used newsify for a while and recently returned to it but it seems broken. Won’t sync, I keep getting an error. I tried restarting my phone, as well as deleting and reinstalling but now it won’t let me sign in. I guess i have to find yet another rss reader, yet again.

Fantastic but..
     
by Jonges.exe · February 17, 2025

I very much love this app, the layout is nice and being able to group stuff in the folders is a plus. I have two complaints. The fact I can’t change it the text to comicsans and that pressing a RSS feed link doesn’t bring up the app to add the link. It’s a minor inconvenience but all the same. It will be nice if it was already a feature.

Best RSS Reader for iPad / iPhone

Been using Newsify for years - it does exactly what I want it to do. Great software worth subscribing to.

Why is article browser truncated?
     
by pmzdj · March 10, 2025

Would be a lot more useful if article browser was wasn’t so limited/truncated.

Finally, fixed the performance lag!
     
by Britt K in Georgia · December 21, 2025

For some reason, the app got so slow and often with a delayed “loading” screen. This version finally fixes it back to previous quick performance level. THANK YOU!

New article browsing controls are horrendous
     
by Mysterobvious · September 27, 2025

With the iOS 26 update, the previous, next controls are shrunk significantly, leading me to misclick constantly. Please bring back the standard full screen width controls!

Ultra-wide and 4K users - no zoom
     
by StridentStormyCarrot · July 17, 2025

If you use an ultra-wide or 4K monitor, give this one a pass. There’s no way to zoom in. Cmd + + does nothing. The “Zoom” button in the menu just makes the app fill the screen (not like fullscreen, but expanded). This is a very basic accessibility functionality that’s baked into most apps by now - especially if their focus is, you know, READING?
