Down 1 star from my first review from 3 years ago. Still the best RSS Feed Reader IMO. But it could really do with article filters based on keywords - in titles if nowhere else. Every year I get at least 2 weeks of almost nothing but “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” sales pitches.

Die App an sich ist gut, aber es gibt einige Macken die bei der Nutzung extrem stören. Zum einen ist das UI extrem kontrastarm. Nur mit sehr großer Schrift ist alles noch gut zu lesen. Bei jedem teilen von Inhalten in andere Apps werden die Tastatureinstellungen verändert und auf eine englische Tastatur erweitert. Das nervt extrem. Außerdem muss man bei jedem Teilen von Inhalten auf dem iPad diesen „Einsetzen erlauben“ Wahnhinweis anklicken. Was man anklickt ist dabei egal. Er erscheint immer wieder, jeden Tag aufs neue.

Unread is really fantastic for its use case. The UI is very minimal, clean which is easy on the eyes while reading articles. It supports login with a few reputed RSS apps which is an advantage. I would love to have a notification feauture too.

I just came back to Unread from a couple of years with Reeder Classic because of the promise of Website Accounts. I subscribe to The Economist which only shows partial content in its RSS feed, forcing you to click through to the website in Safari. Now Unread can save your login and extract the full text of the target page, meaning I can read continuously in a single app. Very polished and convenient, well done dev!

On iPhone SE 2022 with iOS 26, going to the settings page and into a category of the settings (Read & Unread, for example) the app crashes. I love the app and have been using it for some time already, but this annoys me a lot.

Grundsätzlich ist die App klasse. Aber was mich jeden Tag nervt, ist ein kleiner Bug, von dem für mich nicht ganz offensichtlich ist wo der Fehler zu suchen ist. Sobald ich einen Artikel aus der App teile, wird bei fast allen Zielen (Twitter, Youtube ect.) ein englisches Tastaturlayout hinzugefügt. Das passiert nur beim teilen von Inhalten aus dieser App. In den iPadOS Einstellungen ist kein Englisch voreingestellt. Das macht jedes teilen von Inhalten extrem nervig.

Die App ignoriert weiter Systemeinstellungen zu Tastaturen und führt sobald ich eine Artikel teile selbstständig eine englische Tastatur hinzu. Keine andere App auf dem Gerät zeigt dieses Verhalten. Vielleicht sind App Parameter wie autocapitalizationType, keyboardType oder textInputMode falsch gesetzt.

Only the main app icon adapts, but I dislike the red badge looking icon and I‘d like the theme color to match the icon. Could maybe at the least the alternative icons with a dark background match the dark mode icon background? That slight gray tone difference is driving me insane on my main Home Screen. In general I really love the app.

I hope to support miniflux instances, although the fever api can indirectly support miniflux, but fever does not support slide read, and also in the phasing out, the official are not recommended.
