Reviews for NetNewsWire: RSS Reader

Daniel Springer (iOS Dev)

Glass is bad

This is likely mostly due to iOS itself being trash with iOS 26, but the app redesign with the glass design is objectively harder to use, and doesn’t look great. I don’t have them side by side to detail exactly what and how is worse, but it’s more confusing what is a button or list etc, but so is everything in iOS 26, so this is, as mentioned, likely mostly due to iOS itself being trash in iOS 26. Thanks!

The best once again

This app has always been very fast and generally great, especially for the price. There were a few bugs that caused me to go back and forth between this and another app, but it seems those were worked out and this is the best once again. I also appreciate that it’s developed by one person solely because he wants to, and it’s open source. Keep up the good work.
