    I switched to this app after my old RSS feed got discontinued. I paid for the premium version, but then it stopped working. No option to restore purchases anywhere. The feedback function in the app was also broken, and I didn’t hear back from the developer on X or the Play Store for about a week. The layout looks nice, but without premium, I couldn't see all the text in each article. Finally, clearing the Google Play cache somehow restored my Premium subscription.

    Finally, a full-text Feedly reader has arrived on Android! iOS apps like Newsify and Lire have outshined Android options for too long. This new app stands out with its sleek design and offers multiple reading views, including full text articles. The performance feels smooth, which makes the experience enjoyable. While it requires payment for most features, there's a free trial to explore. Overall, I really like this app and hope it receives long-term support.

    For the past year, I relied on FeedMe to sync with The Old Reader. Never liked the design though. Then I discovered FocusReader, and it changed everything. It feels like the best RSS client on Android. Everything about it impressed me. The integrated mobilizer makes reading so much easier. Smooth operation catches my attention daily. Background syncing keeps everything up to date without any hassle. Multiple themes let me customize my experience, which I love. The clean interface looks great and makes navigation a breeze. FocusReader is what I’ve been searching for all along. I didn’t hesitate to subscribe.

    I have been using this app for a couple of years. It works well overall, with one issue: the article list swipe gesture can be unreliable at times. Besides that, it does everything smoothly. Great job on the app! However, I noticed something on the store page. "Ad-free" shouldn’t be there since ads do show up. They even include those annoying video and audio ads, which waste valuable cellular data. Luckily, there's a way to get rid of them with a quick purchase, and I’m willing to do that since it isn't a subscription.
