[2013-02-15] A Google User: Good app Great customization |
|
[2013-02-14] A Google User: Superb After a year with Android, still my favorite reader app. Straightforward but featureful UI. Thanks GoodNews! |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: The best reader I've used I'm an avid Google reader fan and now I use only this app when I'm on the go. A wealth of features and a brilliant use interface make this the perfect app of choice for reading my rss feeds! |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: Very good |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: No widget? Not a replacement. This app rocks! Pretty, responsive, customizable and full featured. But this app will never replace the Google Reader app on my phone until there is widget support. |
|
[2013-02-04] A Google User: Works well. Very nice, but sometimes plays up, not syncing for example. But plays pod casts, which is great. |
|
[2013-02-02] A Google User: Overdone Newsreader Great App for People who want to search through several Option Screens to configure their "reading Experience". Not recommended for mere Mortals who just want their News feeds efficiently and without too many clicks and swipes ... |
|
[2013-01-29] A Google User: Best feed reader in play store. [Thai] สุดยอดที่สุดแล้ว ในบรรดาแอพสำหรับดึงข่าวผ่าน Google Reader หน้าตาเรียบง่าย โหลดเร็ว ฟังก์ชั่นเพียบ ไฮไลท์คลุมเฉพาะข้อความที่ต้องการ แล้วแชร์ไป facebook หรือ คัดลอกไปทำงานเขียน / อ้างอิงต่อได้เลย ผมชอบการแสดงผลรูปที่พอดีกับหน้าจอเสมอ ปรับฟอนต์ใหญ่เล็กได้ จัดเรียง feed เปลี่ยนชื่อ feed เองได้ ใครชอบอ่านข่าว/บทความตามเว็บไซต์ ต้องใช้แอพนี้ครับ เพราะประหยัดแบนวิธของแพคเกจอินเทอร์เน็ต และเอาข่าว/บทความ มากองรวมกันให้อ่าน แบบอัพเดทตลอดเวลาได้ด้วยครับ [Eng] Best feeds reader. you must have it. |
|
[2013-01-29] A Google User: Best News Reader out there For now this is the best news reader I've seen, surprised that it doesn't have more users. |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Good, but some User interface possible, though I'd generally say that The best of all the RSS readers. Marks items seen, shares through Pocket, generally easy to navigate and uses screen real estate efficiently. |
|
[2013-01-22] A Google User: Great!!! My feed is nice and doesn't flood my space on the mobile!!! |
|
[2013-01-20] A Google User: RSS Fanatic The best news reader application I've ever used - simple clean interface makes it easy to keep up to date. Fantastic. |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: Easy to use GUI Very intuitive and customisable |
|
[2013-01-12] A Google User: Excellent All-Rounder Gives the ability to edit feeds from within the app, a big failing of others. Customisable. Fast internal browser. Great for Google... |
|
[2013-01-11] A Google User: Can't find the option to add new feeds I can seem to find thru option to add new feeds. |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Great RSS reader Long time Newsrob user switched to this app (paid version) because of its nice interface and consistent offline/mobilizing features. Would be nice to have a tablet version, but given the date of the last update it seems this will never happen. |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Great app to view Google reader feeds! |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Fantastic Reader! This is amazing! A beautiful combination of a text reader and podcast player in one that works with Google Reader. I can finally listen to NPR podcasts, read the local paper, and get any other feed all in one place. Extremely customizable. Only thing that I can't find is how to actually add/remove subscriptions to Google Reader from within the app, but still easily gets 5 stars. Best one I've seen. Will be testing a little more and then probably buying the pro version. Thanks dev! |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Great Reader App This app gets it. I was looking for an app that would play the podcasts I subscribe to in Reader in the background. This does that and so much more. You can even put them in a play list and read other articles while listening. Runs great and renders the stuff that needs rendering better than Reader. Highly recommended, and if you have the money pay for it to support the devs. |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Pretty good Very good, flexible Google Reader client, only missing a tablet view... |
|
[2012-12-29] A Google User: Confusing Bombards you with usage tips. UI is inefficient and doesn't allow you to access information easily, you have to click in to see what new items are available. |
|
[2012-12-26] A Google User: Great Google Reader Very nice and clean looking. However it does crash quite a bit when clicking on links in the mini browser |
|
[2012-12-26] A Google User: Great reader Best of them all |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Great Love the offline feature. Thanks |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: New Favorite Woah! Just discovered this and am starting to like it! 5 stars and going PRO as soon as... - more speed optimizations - "View all feeds" when clicking on a folder - Star button on the title bar ...have these implemented and i'm ditching NewsRob |
|
[2012-12-20] A Google User: Very nice The app has a couple of quirks, but the features way way way make up for that. Definitely a power user app. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Best Android Google Reader App This is my favorite Google Reader App for Android. I have tried a bunch of other Apps but no others have such a nice interface while being loaded with features like this one. Also this App has lots of settings so you customize it how you like. |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Messy. |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Great I like it |
|
[2012-12-14] A Google User: Good Reader Would have liked option of adding feeds directly |
|
[2012-12-12] A Google User: Excellent News Reader Great organization and integration of Google Reader |
|
[2012-12-11] A Google User: The best! Easily the best news reader I could find, having tried the top 8 or so. |
|
[2012-12-05] A Google User: Great app Very useful. |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Great for Google Reader Really great, there are just a few bugs and UI issued that keep it from being perfect. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Hi Nice |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Dissapointed....Dose not auto download podcast |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: If you use Google Reader, you need this app A review on the Pro License actually said it best, "It has features you didn't know you needed." I thought I was happy with the official Reader app and tolerated Listen when it was around, but this app exceeds handily both of those and looks good doing it. It's the best (audio) podcast app available in my view, and makes using Reader a joy instead of the pain it used to be. I didn't need the pro features and bought them anyway, worth it for such a well-done project. I came back just to edit this review to mention that I'm still in love with the app after months of use. |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Could be better Holo theme is good, but share bottom acts wired after use. |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Best for nook simple touch Best overall, good for both phone and nook ebook reader with possible improvements: 1.Please update bigger font size, easier to read on nook simple touch. It's easy, isn't it? 2.Setting menu is invisible on nook simple touch |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: Best rss reader I've used Great interface, offline features, text resisting with pinch, doesn't lose place in article when I switch between landscape and portrait which seems to be an uncommon blessing in an rss reader. Might not be tablet specific but I love it for my galaxy tab10.1 2 |
|
[2012-11-22] A Google User: Lovely reader Very simple and well featured reader |
|
[2012-11-21] A Google User: Nice News Reader By far the best Google Reader App. |
|
[2012-11-20] A Google User: Great but I need addition feature: add queue download for podcast like google listen. Tks |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: I like the functions but it consums too much memory and freeze screen too often, please improve the performance |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: Works decently but annoying bugs Although I was able to get it working for the most part, I'm having a stupid issue where good news continually places a single article in my read list, no matter how many times I remove it. It's got a picture of a particularly annoying derper in the summary as well, so it's rather frustrating. |
|
[2012-11-14] A Google User: Great |
|
[2012-11-13] A Google User: Great I love this rss reader.please try. |
|
[2012-11-13] A Google User: Very good application. But take long time to download the contents. |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Excellent reader app Been using this application for quite awhile across several phones and it has worked well on all of them. I like being able to view the original article inside the application. I also like how you can set it to show only unread articles. |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Really good. It sometimes doesn't download articles for offline reading. Otherwise best I have used so far. |
|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: JediGraz Keeps crashing after most recent update. Pleas fix! |
|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: Handy When not next to a desktop, it's awesome! |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: Reliable Thank you! |
|
[2012-11-02] A Google User: Great offline reader I download the feeds in the morning and used it on the subway (pre sandy). Great app, but could use a few improvements: I get issues with white boxes appearing over the content on long posts, there are zooming problems and centering issues. This doesn't effect all blogs, but enough to be annoying. |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Best reader Best Google Reader client I've found on Android. |
|
[2012-10-28] A Google User: Best Google Reader app on the market! |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: Update is not so good Teasers are broken in some feeds; one line of the text is shown only instead of 40, 60 etc. words. |
|
[2012-10-25] A Google User: Samsung tab 2 Ok |
|
[2012-10-25] A Google User: Good Looks great, intuitive. One of the best rss reader apps. |
|
[2012-10-25] A Google User: Best buy Excellent product. Fast evolving. Great service. |
|
[2012-10-24] A Google User: Awesome way to check my rss feeds on smoke breaks |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Good interface but sometimes sync fails Don't know if that's a problem with Goodness or with Google, it usually sorts itself out in an hour or so. |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Best alternative to google reader |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Must have app for podcast listeners Work is advertise and is pretty slick to boot. Has the features you need and none of the fluff. Keep everything organized and in the correct play order. The only thing keeping this from getting 5 stars is the offline download only seems to work if you add the feeds to the playlist. Would love the option to choose which folders to download for offline listening. Other than that, a great app. Well worth upgrading to the pro license, but completely functional as is. |
|
[2012-10-20] A Google User: Short stories Great to wine down to |
|
[2012-10-20] A Google User: Best news+podcast reader I was looking for a replacement to google listen app, this is so much better, integrated news and podcast, running smoothly, options to view original web content, the best. |
|
[2012-10-19] A Google User: Lack thumb view for quick scan of news |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Great reader but no function to manage google reader feeds Great app, but it requires you to manage feeds for google reader outside the app. Please add this function for five stars. |
|
[2012-10-14] A Google User: good best in current market |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Great Everything you need and more, but still simple to use. |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Great APP I've tried many podcast apps in android but none of them work like this: adding rss and playing audio, which is the basic function of a podcast app. Love it. |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Works great :-) |
|
[2012-10-06] A Google User: Should get better, poor presentation It needs improve the presentation and layout but the base is sound. |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Pretty Good One quirk: for some reason articles I removed from the read list won't stay removed. They keep coming back. Meh. |
|
[2012-10-04] A Google User: Best out there This app does it all: great Google Reader integration, lots of offline options, good podcast playlist. Keep up the good work. |
|
[2012-10-04] A Google User: Bafflingly complex It was easy enough to get it to download my list of podcast subscriptions from Google Reader. But I could never figure out how to get it to download the actual podcasts, so that I could listen later while offline. |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: can't delete a partial download can't delete a partial download, have to download all the episode to have the delete episode appear on the menu items! |
|
[2012-10-02] A Google User: Great app Smooth and good looking dark theme. Only thing I can't do is unsubscribe from feeds from within app (minor nitpick). Only other improvement is making syncing faster, it isn't slow but it's slower than Google Reader (which probably does it incrementally, to give the illusion of being faster, rather than all at once) |
|
[2012-10-01] A Google User: Solid Bought the pro version too. |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Very good!! Maybe some darker visual option will make it better. |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Please help Could not get it to open after several tries. |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Great Miles better than GoogleReader as I can go on whilst offline. Easy to use & the choice of a darker interfaces means I can conserve battery. I just wish I could access posts from more than 2 years back but all in all the best rss/Google reader app i've used. |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Works well |
|
[2012-09-29] A Google User: Like it so far Love its use of Readability. :) Suggestions: 1. Display favicons for feeds 2. Allow REALLY compact list mode so that more headlines can be viewed in a page without scrolling. Too much scroll-down now for me. 3. Allow prioritisation of sync for certain feeds so that all their unreads are downloaded first, before other feeds. |
|
[2012-09-29] A Google User: Seems advanced but Falls short on the readability side.. No images in feed view.. To many icons next to each item.. |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: Simple, functional app I like this newsreader because it doesn't try to get too fancy. It just does what I need it to do with ease. It has a very clean design. |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: Great app, needs a lot of work on offline mode though Downloading offline content is really slow (even if there are 10 unread items, not to mention of queue of hundreds). There is no way to control this process or prioritize it. For me (since my tablet doesnt't have 3g and I like to read on the go) that's really important. |
|
[2012-09-26] A Google User: Superb perfect update with readability.fast and simple to use. excellent |
|
[2012-09-26] A Google User: Great reader This is one of the most important apps on my phone and I use it every day |
|
[2012-09-25] A Google User: Decent podcatcher |
|
[2012-09-25] A Google User: Great App Great app, it has a few issues with some blogs though. Also doesn't always show images. My biggest complaint is that it doesn't always update to the most recent posts. The best reader app if they fix that. |
|
[2012-09-24] A Google User: Samsung tab 2 7.0 Not bad, i like the offline reader :-) |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: Favorite App for Syncing w/ Google Reader I've used several apps before findng this one and nearly all had overdone or unnatractively simple designs. The navigation is simple and being able to listen to audio podcasts is a plus. My only hope is that podcasts with video become supported too, for a complete package. |
|
[2012-09-13] A Google User: Aye Would be better if it was better. |
|
[2012-09-08] A Google User: Excellent Use it for RSS and podcasts. |
|
[2012-09-08] A Google User: אין תמונות |
|
[2012-09-06] A Google User: No full article/pics download! Does a honest job at retrieving RSS feeds, nice interface, but doesn't download more than the standard summary. I need my reader to download the full article with pictures so I don't have to click and wait, provided I'm not offline... Swapped for EasyRSS which does all this and more. |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: One of the best free apps out there. I keep finding new ways it is better than I thought! |
|
[2012-09-03] A Google User: Ennoying help messages hinder usage. Too bad. |
|
[2012-09-01] A Google User: Awesome! I like using Google Reader across multiple devices but don't like the Android interface. This solves the problem...love the interface and I get the option of downloading podcasts for listening later without a connection. Sweet! |
