Newsletter Reader Reviews

This is the exact app I’ve been looking for to manage newsletter subscriptions. NewsletterReader is clean and does what it says: keeps newsletters out of your email inbox. I appreciate that it has a web viewer for desktop. I have it 4 stars because I think NewsletterReader needs two things: 1) the option to turn on a badge for unread count, and 2) some bug fixes on feed refresh - I seem to have to manually pull to refresh the inbox even after opening from a notification about a new item. I think if these two items were implemented I’d become a paid user.

UPDATE: Wow - the developer quickly implemented the unread badge, and I happily subscribed to the annual Premium tier! I think NewsletterReader could still auto-refresh the Inbox when it enters the foreground, but otherwise NewsletterReader is great!

I especially like how it eliminates all the header information of email newsletters when reading the message itself. Next would be to eliminate the footer stuff, too. Lots of potential here, and the feedback form already shows a very responsive developer. I recommend getting on board with this useful tool. It makes it easier and a joy to be subscribed to more email newsletter content than I can generally tolerate in my email.

Nice job sw engineers. Now leave it alone!

This is exactly NewsletterReader I’ve been looking for. I have tried others and they try so hard to come up with new ways to organize and manipulate my newsletters in a way that doesn’t feel natural.

I’m a simple person, and all I was looking for was an app to read my newsletters without messing up my email inbox. This is exactly what I wanted.

Everyone tries out things, and changes their mind. NewsletterReader is perfect for that: and because it’s centralized, you know which subscriptions are working out, and which ones you don’t want to click on. I encourage you to try this out: I think you will like it.

It’s great to put all your newsletters in one place, but it should be much easier to remove a huge backup of them, which is without individually selecting every entry and swiping them into deletion.

If I go without reading or removing them, then my inbox quickly fills with tens, of not over a hundred entire that are not easy to glance or sort.

So… this discourages me from adding more subscriptions and letting it get even more out of control.

Plus, I never know if a source will dump entry after entry and unexpectedly clutter the mailbox. That can cause me to unsubscribe, rather than deal with the hot mess.

Very useful app. Has allowed me to clean up my regular email account, and provides a separate, single location where I can access all my subscribed newsletters.

This is a great app to organize your newsletters with. The customer support is awesome. They treat the free members very well - we're not ignored. Not having your regular inbox littered with newsletters is great.

I signed up paid the $9.99 and cannot access or sign up for the newsletter I want. This should not be so difficult. I signed up with Apple and get a blank screen. If I don’t get help in 24 hours I will request a refund. I’m giving one star but actually is 0 star

Like others I was looking for a way to get my $ub$stack subs in one spot. This is only for corporate newsletters, not sure how they are chosen. None of the ones I subscribe to are on here. It looks easy and organized if you want someone else to choose what you read.

I use it to subscribe to my favorite newspapers

I cannot search for substack, worse is that you cannot search at all. It only allows the newssources it gives you, all corporate-industrial sources.

You cannot create an account without linking to an Apple or Google ID, so no privacy.

This is not Substack. When I realized I had the wrong one, I tried to delete and when it asked for feedback the submit button won’t work so it’s stuck there. Urgh. Can’t go back. Can’t submit delete my info.

Unable to search for specific journalists.

Love NewsletterReader for newsletters! Keeps my regular email all tidy

Very simple and clean ui

Great to see an unbiased news source!

NewsletterReader has cherry picked its own newsletter sources. I was unable to search and add my newsletters from food, entertainment and news. Not worth the time or money.

Is this still a live app? None of the features seem to work.

This might work for some, but the options are so limited, it isn’t worth it.

I’m finding this useful. Getting all my newletters in one location, and not in my mail inbox, is certainly nice.

A couple of issues:

First, sometimes it takes a while for newsletters to make it over to my RSS feed. But I’ve found that it works better for me if I just use NewsletterReader to read the articles.

Second, as of right now, if you archive any file, there’s no way to get it back. Apparently that feature is in the works.

NewsletterReader is like a hidden treasure. Perfect for separating my personal inbox from the newsletters I love.

I get push notifications and can easily archive one or many items from each newsletter subscription. You get a unique @newsletterss email and there is an RSS feed you can use to integrate your content into your RSS reader app.

Thanks for NewsletterReader!
