Iconfactory Tapestry

I cannot state just how much I LOVE this app. It has become the only app I use for “news”. I’m able to subscribe to my RSS feeds, follow users on bluesky and follow individual websites. Everything is in chronological order and ZERO algorithms. The best part for me though is the fact that I can filter and mute anything that is either uninteresting or stress inducing. For example, I’m subscribed to my local news website and I can mute anything and everything related to politics and still be informed of things going on that are still important. I get to choose what I read with Tapestry and that is huge for me. I did the paid version on day one and it has been worth every cent! No joke, when I see that there is an update to the app, I legit get excited because this app is SO awesome!

Tapestry is one of those apps that make one wonder why one waited so long to use them. It might be a little intimidating, setting it up and moving everything over, but stick with it. It’s so flexible, and so much attention has been paid to every detail; in very little time, you’ll make it yours and wonder how you got on without it. It’s also kind of amazing to start using an app when it’s still pretty new: every update delivers the delight of unwrapping a lovely gift. The team developing Tapestry welcome feedback and are wonderfully responsive across avenues of communication. I find Tapestry a real joy; I look forward to using it every day, and contributing to its evolution.

I love this app and everything it does. The main reason I use it is in order to maintain a single custom timeline. Just one. However, I’m not able to edit or reconfigure this timeline unless my subscription to Tapestry Pro is still active. Why should I have to pay $1.99 every time I want to change this one timeline? I would rather just pay a single fee and be done with it. The fact that using a single custom timeline requires a permanent subscription is a huge black stain on an otherwise perfect app. If Tapestry ever offers the option to pay once and get one or two custom timelines for life, then I’ll pay for that upfront and continue using Tapestry. Until then, however, I’ll continue looking for alternatives.
