Lightweight, fast, and stable. Works exactly like you’d expect, down to swiping gestures to save/archive posts from the list view, or flip through article view, and matches the system light/dark theme by default. Super easy to set up if you already have the Nextcloud app on your phone. You can also manage your subscriptions through the app, including autodetecting feeds on websites that support it, and importing subscriptions from an OPML file.

Good! Mimics the browser app nicely! Not sure if I'm experiencing a bug or a feature though: I can't view read articles at all. All of my news sources are rss feeds, and after I've read them, they are gone forever, it seems. Edit: I was expecting an experience closer to the browser app (where read articles stay for as long as they are in the rss feed), but that was an incorrect assumtion. I'll get into the habit of starring items I want to read (or re-read) later. Thanks for clearing that up!

Thanks for your feedback! That is correct, your unread feeds will disappear after you have read them. If you want them to stay (to read them later) please mark them as unread or use the "star" option. Both will make the item stay on your phone. Short explanation: We need to remove items since the database on your phone can't store that much data.

It's GREAT with one tiny (non)problem. Read articles disappear (by design per response below from 2020). I sent an email to the developer to follow up on this with some hopefully useful suggestions. Hopefully this can be overcome so that it will keep read articles for a week, or maybe with a limit of 10, 25, or 50 read articles per feed. Well designed app otherwise and performs very well (assuming your Nextcloud server is performing well of course)
