The new update it’s a 💩
After make the app one of my favorite, the new update was very frustrating forcing you to buy the premium version. The developer had taken an amazing app and converted it into a trash.

Really bad update
After the recent update, the app is unusable without a paid subscription. I will now be going with a competitor.

Update disable major feature
Do not use or trust this app.
After using it for some time, and investing time in setting up feeds, the new update cancelled a major feature and turned it to a pay feature.
The feature is the ability to read the whole rss. Come on. Without this the app is useless.
This should be considered a pay app now.

Used to be good
Now I have to find another news reader.

Fantastic support, great app!
Excellent and reliable! The premium account is worth every cent. It is my favourite bill to pay each year.

Why there is no 100% white theme ?
Very good reader

Don't get it. Waste of time.
You need to make an account just to try it. Seriously? I just want an app to fetch my RSS feeds. App deleted.

Text size too small, maxes out at 17 pt
Pro: Newsblur has a very elegant navigation layout. It's easy to use.
Con: there's no full screen view, and the font size is too small to read easily.

Simple & Elegant
This really is the best rss reader.. It gets out of the way and let's you enjoy the content you've subscribed to. No gimmicks. Couldn't do without.

Best newsreader there is
Tried most of the different services, feedly, etc since Google Reader was announced as shutting down. I switched to feedly at first, wasn't impressed and found NewsBlur and have never looked back. It's great, the developer is passionate and even responded to a feature request from me in like 2 hours. It's insane the amount of effort and customer service that Sam puts into this thing. It's amazing, the social features of being able to comment on blogs that similarly minded people read is just awesome. This app is amazing. Thanks man, and keep up the effort and I'll gladly keep paying. I would pay more for this app.

Account
It requires an account to even just try it. Just imagine if everything requires an account... An account to go to the grocery, an account to buy at Best Buy, one for every place you go... Too bad.

Audio issues
Audio still does not work on imbedded videos in news stories

It simply works!
It works on IE, it works on iPhone, and it works on iPad. All my feeds are synchronized no matter which device I use. Not mention the apps look great on all platforms. Google reader I do not miss you!

Great Service
Great replacement for Google Reader.

Looking for a new reader (after google)? Download NewsBlur!!
I was looking for a replacement after I heard about google reader shutting down, and I'm so happy with NewsBlur I bought the full version. This app is BETTER than google reader ever was! It organizes my feeds into folders, I can easily flip through them, share, save, and manage. Why did I not use this app before? Why are there no other reviews for this??? Worth every penny!!!!
