News Explorer App Reviews

Swipe controls, excellent full screen view, multiple reader modes, article view, pinch to zoom, options for everything I want to customize, I could go on. There are a couple other good news readers. I've used them. This one has all their best features and then some.

I really like News Explorer, but started exploring other options recently because I was looking for the filtering. Well, I found some other options that included this. I was super excited when News Explorer released a new version that has fantastic filtering. This really helps me refining my newsfeeds and I’ve abandoned exploring other options and double down with News Explorer. It’s an excellent News reading app and has great formatting option. The only thing that would make this better is te

Great app! Definitely a fresh quick and nice UI. Takes time to adjust to some things after switching from reeder. Some suggestions: 1. Allow to sync the settings. For example I like to mark as read right after I open the article. I have a few macs, and just going through the settings is a bit annoying. 2. Everything is about AI, I believe you can just get very small ML Model like llama 3.2 1b and use it to summarize the articles similar how Safari does it. Will be a great feature.

I recently switched to this one after a decade or more with Feedly. Got fed up with Feedly's shift toward an elusive corporate market. News Explorer works great and has most of the features of Feedly. Thankfully no AI, which produced the weirdest nonsense with Feedly. Couple of things and I would be as happy as can be: * Separate view options per feed. For some feeds I just want to see the headline, for others a magazine view works best * Ability to forward newsletters to the app. This is a Fe

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.

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.

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

Excellent app! I love how easy it is to add sources and organize them in the app. The only suggestions I’d have are the ability for custom icons for folders I create and the ability to maybe search for new sources based off of topics instead of having to just know which ones to add myself.

I owed this review. Not only is this the best feed reader on the App Store, you can buy it standalone instead of renting it. And, it doesn’t harvest your data. The refreshed version was also a free upgrade and the few times I’ve had questions, the developer has responded to emails within minutes. It’s incredibly rare to find an app like this.

I've been using this app since around 2015. It's fantastic. Every now and then I try another one, but I keep coming back. If there's ever an issue, support is extremely quick to respond.

Hands down the best reader app, with updates coming often as of v2.x. Having tried every other major reader/rss app from “best rss reader” lists, this is the only one that I actually like. Also respects your privacy, which is so important these days.

News Explorer is the new best RSS client in the Apple ecosystem, and my unexpected personal favorite when it comes to consuming content from Youtube and Reddit as well.

News Explorer is ten times more powerful and customizable and infinitely more affordable than our favorite fruit company’s expensive News+ service.

Lowering my rating from 5 to 4 because they just removed the twitter support. Keeping up with twitter without RSS is impossible. If it’s too expensive put a membership or something just for it but don’t cut users out of it. I’m looking for another RSS now just because of this… 🙄

I’ve had this app for over 5 years and absolutely love it. The presentation and navigation are superb and I love the offerings and customizations I can do. Highly recommend. The latest update seems to have affected some websites being parsed with the Mercury reader. Stuff that used to render fine is either blank or missing text/images. A few examples are on lithub.com, science news.org, sententiaeantiquae.com. All of these rendered fine without using the Mercury reader before this update but n

Which is unfortunately my main reason to use an RSS reader for YouTube. The iOS app works perfectly, but the tvOS app redirects to the YouTube app for video playback, which completely defeats the purpose.

I like this app but would love to have some darker, blacker widgets.

I have used various RSS apps and this is hands down my favorite. It’s fast and reliable . I am a precious feedly user and discovered this app when they got behind a paywall. Wish I had discovered it sooner

Nagging for a review, especially frequently, is obnoxious. I think I’d spend more time on things like making sure the avatar image you are showing for a feed post is the correct avatar.

Ability to mute certain posts by keywords. For example, I don't want to read news about the Kardashians from my favorite news source. I want those posts to automatically be muted and not appearing in the feed. Can you please add the ability to hide/mute by keywords? This is the only thing missing to be a 5 stars app.

The ability to add sources from many platforms saves time and the interface is easy to use.

I read the news only once a week, for example on Saturday, but when I open application news loads only for the last 3 days, it's upsets me a lot ((( I want to download all the news for a week from one source, not just for 3 days. What should I do? Help me please

Love this app—but suddenly need Mastodon functionality analogous to existing Twitter functionality. Boosts, etc. may take some time, I know, but as a stopgap might it be possible to at least follow Mastodon accounts?

Automate your news flow with filters and rules

Clean interface, fast response, great design. I was using the macOS app first and loved it so much I wanted to try this app and am not disappointed. Maybe get a “trial” going for people, because no doubt they’ll purchase! 👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽

I love the app. It’s been solid and syncs perfectly between my iPad and iPhone. The feature additions have been very welcome. Photo handling in-line has gotten slouch better over the years. I did like the old app icon much better than your new one though :) and if that’s the only complaint a user can come up with, you’re doing a great job. Thanks for the app. I use it constantly.

Needs more functional updates such as: Filtering and rules for what we don’t want to see Remove duplicates

Best RSS feed app I’ve ever used, and I love that my feeds are in sync on Mac and iPhone. Worth it.
