Great design and interesting functions, but still not a good app
I want to love this app since it’s beautiful design and interesting AI functions really catch my eyes. However, some buggy problems and unacceptable limitations makes it not a good app.
First, it seems like too quick to sync everything before I modify it, which cause the initial feeds when install and I deleted in on device always sync and restored to another devices which I deleted them, and now I had to disable iCloud sync to solve the problem.
Second, for some feeds (for example, CBC News), I don’t know why the app never load first picture in article to thumbnail and just leave a blank thumbnail to the list. If the developer believe this is feed’s problem, the I bet it is not since other RSS platforms don’t have such problem for same feed.
And lastly, which makes me decide delete this app and leave 1 star, is the limitation for free plan is unacceptable. It is common today that developer use subscriptions to let users enjoy premium features, but limited 20 articles for free plan is ridiculous! If this app focus on its AI feature, then the premium subscription should focus on more AI features, not the basic features only can read 20 articles that kills the app’s chance to compete with others.
As I said, this app looks great, both in appearance and AI functions. However, bugs and free plan makes it is not worth to keep since there are many other RSS readers better than this exist.
