I like that the app is free and contain most of the functions I need. However, it’s fairly rough and a bit buggy. The editing of feed title resets unless one use the done button which closed the keyboard and moves the input box, strongly disrupting the work flow. The adding feed box does not close after the confirmation popup is closed. The read all confirmation has a bold yes and a normal yes instead of a yes and a no.

Still tends to crash on original iPad when rendering very complex pages with lots of images (e.g. CNN). Worse if other apps are open but it can happen even when xFeed is the only app running. Memory management problem? Safari can display those same pages without difficulty. New UI has a bug. Sometimes when returning from the "full article page" it reverts to the old UI (partially)... list of available articles is shown full-width rather than in the narrow-column overlay style. Once this happens there seems to be no way to view articles again... they do not display when selected. Only way to correct the problem is to forcibly shut down the app and then restart it.
