I felt a bit guilty about still using the Classic version so I thought I’d give the regular one another shot. Nope, I am now back to Classic again. I hated that I’d swipe up on an article to show I’d read it, but swiping wouldn’t work half the time. It got really frustrating to repeatedly swipe ten times on an article only to have it not go away. It would just bounce back into place. I also don’t like the Home Screen options (the first page you see when you open the app) and find the Classic version much better at displaying that info. Classic makes it much easier to save an article for later. The Classic version is faster and less buggy. I’m surprised that after a couple of years of doing this “new” Feedly, they still haven’t worked out those bugs. While it is useable, the Classic version is still much superior.

So many software developers seen to be striving to fix what ain't broken. I've given up on several sites after they "improved" them. But it is refreshing when developers give the option not to move to their new "baby". I tried the new Feedly and it just doesn't work for me; I was about to abandon Feedly where I saw they provided the option to continue with what is essentially the old version. Perfect! Hope they continue to support this version, and is so wish other developers would adopt this technique.

This newsreader is absolutely perfect. Maybe someday the “new Feedly” will be fixed, but at the moment it can not compare to this gem. It was perfect just like it was, so I’m not sure why they saw a need to “improve” it. The new (non-Classic) version has about a 2-star rating average - the only reason it looks better is because of all the old reviews that I and many thousands of other users wrote about THIS set of features before they screwed it up. So I’m sticking with Classic, and the only thing I don’t like is the boring gray logo. I can live with that.

Feedly deserves credit for providing a fallback option when making a change that completely destroyed the usefulness of their main app.Seriously, though, the app is the best feed reader out there. The new app is TERRIBLE (I keep trying it every few months, and man... just awful), and Feedly Classic is why I keep my account open. It’s perfect, and I use it every day. Thanks, Feedly, for bucking the trend of tech developers acting like they know what their users need better than their users do! We love having options!
