RSS Mobile

I am so happy developers like this still exist. They have some core values that do not jump on the bandwagon with an in-app purchase or subscription model. Apps in the beginning were like this one, refreshing to see an app like this still exist. The simplicity of not relying on 3rd party web services when not needed….well done. This is a true native RSS app. They also value user privacy as well with not collecting user details. It is a fine line to balance and earn income. Maybe accept donations via crypto.

This app does *exactly* what an RSS reader is SUPPOSED to do. It's not like any of those fancy "readers" that just shove a whole bunch of curated content that you don't care about in your face (you know which ones I'm talking about). You import your RSS feeds of choice, it fetches them, end of story. As someone who is currently trying to migrate from the dinosaur that is Opera Mail, this is an absolute godsend. (By the way, importing from Opera worked flawlessly! Thank you for implementing OPML *correctly*!) My only criticisms are that the app doesn't integrate with Safari to fetch RSS URLs from sites that offer them, which would be enormously helpful, but probably difficult to implement, and there are quite a few spelling mistakes in the interface (I'm assuming the developer's first language is not English).

I got this app mainly because I wanted to import my RSS feeds through OPML and it work seemlessly. I notice one bug however, when importing an OPML export from a RSS reader such as Bamboo for Firefox, the feed categories get imported into the App, but the RSS feeds don't. It ends up being just a list of empty categories. Had to use another PC RSS reader app to export/import/export/import so that I can get an OPML file without categories. But still, great app. Use it every day!
