Ive used Newsify for at least 10 years and it has withstood the test of time. The developer has continually maintained the app to comply with changes to iOS and hasn’t removed features or placed them behind a paywall. RSS is supposed to be “Really Simple” but other apps I’ve tried are either over engineered or didn’t function at at all, especially when monitoring many feeds. The app fits my needs particularly well, especially with the embedded Safari browser that leverages my ad blockers. Suggested improvements: Adding TheOldReader as a feed source and increase sync limit beyond the 20K article limit, but only if there’s no performance penalty. This app really is outstanding. Other developers will take your money but generally underdeliver. I’ve only paid for this app one time and would support a subscription model if that’s what the developer needs to ensure long term sustainability. I can envision new users experiencing some confusion between Article vs (the other… browser?) view and the various options, but some patience and tinkering will force this app to do exactly what you want.

I've been through a lot of IOS news reader apps. Many of them had outstanding features, but none brought so many together as does Newsify. Great look, system of viewing articles (and a choice of preference there), saving, and sharing. I cannot imagine any RSS reader improving on what this app delivers, and so I'm putting this quest to bed.I can add, through my own experience, a report on support. I was having a problem with one aspect of the app that would have been quickly and easily corrected in settings, had I not repeatedly overlooked the toggle. Through support services contact, the developer patiently pinpointed the source of my issue, and clearly supplied the remedy. So, I can attest to Newsify's stellar customer support.

For people who consume lots of news and need it quickly, this app is fantastic. The data-rich format, while still keeping images, is the best I’ve tested and the upload speeds with a premium subscription are great. The full-text feature is crucial to making this great since so many feeds never show the full texts. In the three or four times that full texts didn’t download, the developer responded within hours to get it working. Full text is doubly impressive since I rely on a lot of niche and foreign news sources and still rarely have trouble getting full text. Even with a premium subscription, this app is so good that I almost feel like it’s too good to be true.

I’m trying to find a new app to use as I don’t like the old one I have used for 5 plus years. I have found a pretty big issue that will have me stop using this app very quickly. I have found the last two times I have used the app when I go into an article the arrow and all the other buttons disappear. No matter what I do tapping scrolling they don’t come back. I don’t want to have to scroll down every story. In order for them to come back I have to force close the app and reopen it. It’s a pretty big and bad issue.The previous news app/ rss reader app I was using I really started to dislike after years of using it. I have tried to find a replacement but after using this app for not even half a day I will be going back to the old one. It could be I’m so used to the other one since I have been using it everyday for 5 plus years. The above issue is a huge problem but just other small things make this app a no.
