I’ve tried a few RSS readers and this one is my favorite. Only thing I’d like is the ability to disable the informational text when syncing - the spinning icon is fine. (Updated review after helpful response from the developer).

Thank you for your review! You can adjust the behavior of "After marking all as read" in the Behaviors section of the app settings. The app settings can be opened by tapping on the three-dots button on top of the feeds list.

After te redesign. My app opens with “no selection” every time.I touch the arrows to get a side bar with articles. Then I tap the sidebar icon to get another side ar. Then I can tap the ‘magazine’ view.Why not start there every time?
