Not What You Expected
This is a dishonest app. When you read the description in the App Store six main features are listed. Two-article translation and mute filter-are starred to indicate they are premium features. The description cleverly lists “easy feed discovery and management” as a free feature. Sounds like a good app with a free basic level and with premium features available. Download it and you see a mostly empty page with instructions to tap the plus sign to add a feed. Easy enough to add an url. Do so and you see a message that you have reached your limit!!! You can test the widgets on this one feed but that’s all. You have to subscribe for the app to be useful. It’s gotten a very nice review on MacStories but the review did not mention this (to me) rather important fact. I guess developers get a free pass if the app itself is attractive and useful. And , truthfully, it is. If you can swallow the dishonesty you get a good app. If not, then you can delete it. If the developer reads this, please spare me the whine about Apple rules, etc. The developer knows the rules beforehand and chooses deception over transparency. UPDATE-I appreciate the developer’s timely response to my review, although I carefully avoided using the word “scam”, because I don’t believe the app is a scam. I very carefully pointed out the deceptive (I used the word dishonest as well) way that the app was presented (I used the words lack of transparency also), and stated clearly that it was a good app IF you give a pass on the issue I raised. I also quoted the developer’s own description on the App Store to make my point. Not exactly a moment of rage. I checked again and observed that the developer had indeed changed the description, although the new description states that the premium level gives unlimited feeds. The question is, is the limit for the basic app still one. I deleted the app so I don’t know. Potential users should be aware of this. The basic app would be unusable if it is. I will increase my rating for the app based on the developer’s response and quickness to change the the description, with the qualifications stated above. This rating would be for the premium app.
