Luv it 🖤💐🍷
Missing essential functionalities
Overall, I think the idea is very good. A lot better than traditional email newsletters. However the app itself is missing very important functionalities, mainly:
- bookmarks / favourites - without it, I can't save articles for later to read. They just get lost.
- highlights - prefably with tags, and search functionality. With so much information it's the best to make personal highlights of sentences that summarize some ideas the best. My no 1 thing when reading on Kindle. Later on I can easily recall all ideas just by reading highlights.
Nice to have:
- pure black dark mode - a lot better for night reading than grey dark mode
- search text in an article
- ability to subscribe to normal email newsletters like in Stoop or Feedly - I know that it contradicts with a business model. However, it would allow users to aggregate their newsletters in one place instead of switching apps
I hate this app
Words cannot describe how much I hate this app. Many reviewers make mistake of giving 5 stars because of content. Yet the content is NOT the feature of this app. Same content is available on the website.
This app makes difficult to access subscribed feeds. Doesn’t allow to copy pictures. The font is small (probable they hate people with vision issues). You cannot configure notifications for selected feeds only. Hard to access saved articles. Total disaster.
I hate this app so much it triggered me finally to write this review, as a for of rant. One needs to suffer this app to access great content delivered by great authors
