Love the magazine style layout which isn’t even shown in the screenshots of the App Store however, I think it’s one of the best features of this app. It doesn’t grey out articles that are read unfortunately. Also there is no way to add an article while browsing Safari you can only do a feed, which is a big miss. App also closes when it’s reopened, loads prior view and clicking done. It should go back to the main screen instead of shutting down and closing it’s almost impossible to use.

Prefilters are only able to filter titles, but not the article links themselves. Since some news websites have paywalls for some articles, I’d like to seperate the ones with a paywall from those without. In some cases this can be done by prefiltering some words in the article link. Therefore the option to not only apply prefilters to titles, but also links, would definitely be a nice touch.

App needs to include Bluesky feeds and backend support for other feeds from Inoreader, Feedly, etc.

Really happy with the performance and usability… a quest to support was answered within a few hours and a solution provided (it was user error, not the application) - highly recommended.

1. die Schriftgröße der Feed-Liste anzupassen. Diese wird mir zu groß dargestellt. 2. die Möglichkeit, die Statusleiste (mit den 2 Buttons) beim Lesen des Artikels komplett abzuschalten und nicht nur automatisch ein- und ausblenden zu lassen. Das stört mich beim lesen oder scrollen durch die Liste ungemein. 3. den runden Button „alle markieren als gelesen“ von rechts oben z. B. flexibel nach rechts oder links unten zu legen, was viel handlicher wäre, gerade bei einem großen Display wie dem iPhone Max / Plus. Mein bisheriges Fazit: Mir gefällt diese App bisher zwar gut, auch, weil sie ein paar richtig nette Extras hat, aber ein endgültiger Wechsel von Reeder 5 zu News Explorer ist für mich derzeit noch keine Option, da ich täglich sehr viele Feeds lese und da Reeder 5 noch die Nase vorne hat. Deshalb sehe ich auch von einem Kauf der Mac Version derzeit noch ab.

For whatever reason most RSS readers, don’t let you filter your feed unless you pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee. News Explorer lets you filter out parts of the RSS feed! That simple feature is key in eliminating ads or sponsorship content and irrelevant posts.

Finally something I can install on my AppleTV which is useful and nice to have. Reading news on a big screen like a newspaper. Live refresh. Add YouTube and Reddit feeds. Add RSS feeds manually using your iPhone. I wish some websites didnt block reading the text (Bloomberg) and also show the pictures. The Slideshow function still needs a lot of improvement. Apart from that this App should be a featured App. Five Star!
