This is the only app that a podcast i gave money to via Patreon is able to play to the exclusive content, so cheers, but the audio stops, without fail, at most six minutes in and requires playing back from earlier in the clip, even if I'm on Wi-Fi. Please make the effort to improve the audio clips on your site or, god forbid, this one person in a flyover state will leave your service. Thank you.

After using the redesign for a while, I feel like the new version is better than the old, but not by much. I'm still tempted to use the Classic version instead. The good: - Much improved appearance. - Fewer bugs. - Page swiping + auto mark read makes reading faster. The bad: - Page swiping doesn't work properly for last items. - No longer possible to see image alt-text on cartoons. - Tab bar wastes valuable vertical space with relatively rarely used features. - Bottom-left menu button is weird, and I miss having a menu button at the top when holding my phone certain ways. On Android the back button already serves to open the menu, why do I need two buttons at the bottom? The ugly: - Still no way to zoom/magnify images. - No indication of whether an article is kept unread. I usually toggle them a few times before I'm confident that it actually worked.

Let me be clear, reading experience is great, it is one of the best ways to find and read the news.... But!!! ability to create more than 3 feeds and following topics are locked behind an annual subscription which frankly is ludicrously expensive. Sorry but I cannot use this app even though once it was my favourite. I get they need to make money, a one time purchase would be fine at a reasonable price, but it costs the same as Microsoft Office 365!

I tried using this new interface for a few months and the result was that I just didn't use feedly anymore.. The font is a little too small for me even on the biggest setting and you can't find this setting in the app's settings. The new way of scrolling is also worse, whenever there is an article without a thumbnail you get "lost" and can't tell what article is next. There is not a clear separation between articles.. An automatic day/night theme change is also missing..

This app is broken. I only tried to use it for podcasts but the audio stops every few minutes and won't resume when I press play. I've tried it in different wifi networks so it's not a connection issue. I have to restart the app and navigate back to where I was in the episode every time. Also it hasn't picked up the most recent updates of the podcast. Total garbage. Not sure why it has so many great reviews.

I finally re-installed an older version of this app, and shut off auto-updates. I can't stress enough how much better this was before the December "upgrade." I open the app and it starts where I left off. I swipe to the left and see the text of the next article, with an image below. It all works with my muscle memory. Neither the new app or the "classic" version allow for this experience. The upgrade strategy that the developers took might become a textbook case for how to frustrate users.
