I've been wanting to get back to RSS for my news for a long time, but couldn't stomach what some RSS reader developers are charging for the privilege of using their platform. Enter: Twine. Twine is easy to navigate and use, has a built-in browser for articles, and looks great! If you're looking for a new RSS reader, Twine is definitely worth a look.

Update: The app has improved so much since I last checked it out! It's running great, is really pretty, and loads pretty much all of the feeds I was following on Feedly! Really happy with it. All it would take for this to be a five-star RSS feed for me personally would be a better in-app reader mode, text to speech, and notifications for new articles in a feed. That being said, it's a tight app and you can feel the care being put into it. I really do love it, even despite my personal wants. Edited

Love the UI but unless it gets a readable view instead of opening to web page it's not my cup of tea. I saw a question asked on GitHub about if this feature would be added and the dev said they decided against it because not all sources provide enough content to generate a good readable view. Fair, but lots of RSS readers are able to give a decent readable view for most web pages in my experience. I'm trying to avoid cluttered web pages, so if this feature gets added I will give it another go!

EDIT: New update makes half my feeds not even load in collections… It got a lot worse in the recent update. Now things that I didn't click load, and every time I open the app it acts like there is zero content for several seconds while it synchronously loads feeds. And there are many small UX bugs that just make it a chore to use. Edited

The issue of not opening should be resolved in the latest version v1.54.0, that is rolling out now. In terms of slow loading, that would depend on the posts filter you selected. If you're using Today or Last 24 hours filter, we load posts from that time frame only. You can reach out to [email protected] if there is something weird happening.

Used to like it a lot. But it's now almost unusable after the recent update. Takes minutes to refresh and load the latest feed. And all important features now under a paywall. Will be looking to get smth else now. Edit: I don't care much about the paywall, but why is the feed so slow to load now? No options for fonts, etc no customization.. it used to be such a pleasing app. Even the links UI in a page is broken now, most articles dont load correctly anymore. Edited

EDIT: have you tried the new 2.3.0 update? Can you check if the sync performance had improved? Reader customisation is a paid feature.
