I look more rad than Lutheranism

BUT that the failure of the touch screen was something that did happen and gave me a BRAND-NEW iPad mini! backed up the old one, restored everything to the new one, and sent me on my way. Happy

Yay Apple! And yay you! (I hope.)

I'm liking feedly pretty well, it's both an app and a website.

I love the feedly app, the website, not so much, but I am mostly on the iphone now anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Feedly was way buggy.

Jessica, was it their app, website or both that were buggy?

Does the feedly app work well on an iPad? It says it's compatible with the iPad and optimized for the iPhone 5.

Nowadays I do almost all my RSS reading on my iPad, so I'd either need a good app for that or a website that works well on the iPad.

Old Reader sez:

Do you have a mobile app?
Not yet, but as we had promised earlier, we started working on it when our user count reached 5000 in October 2012. Even now our standard interface adapts nicely to mobile devices.

So that may be adequate for me.

Feedly app works great for me. This weekend I had some trouble where the website and the app weren't agreeing on what I'd read, but I hadn't really had that problem before. I find the app a little easier, just because I like the "swipe to say it's read/you don't want to read it" better than clicking.

Jessica, was it their app, website or both that were buggy?

I had such trouble with the Chrome extension that I never bothered to install the app - I could never get it to sync my sessions between my home and work laptops.

River of News used to be my preferred iPad RSS reader - does anyone know what's happening with them in the face of Google Reader going away?

[edit:

Yeah, this was my problem, only it happened ALL the time. Drove me bonkers.]

Ah, I have not used the chrome extension--just the webiste, and more frequently the iphone or ipad apps. I don't have an iphone 5 so can't comment on that, but like the ipad and app on iphone 4s just fine.

Hey. New board.

I'm using the new feedly cloud reader (not the Chrome extension, but [link] on my laptop and gReader (an Android app that used to sync with Google Reader but now syncs with feedly) on my phone. It seems to be an acceptable system. The feedly cloud reader is less finicky than the extension was for me, but the interface still bugs me occasionally. However, I was already in love with gReader and do most of my RSS reading on the phone.

I'm not sure I knew they even had a website. The only way I was able to access Feedly on Chrome was via the Chrome app.

I've been using Feedly via the Chrome extension and it has been working fine. Of course, I don't need it to sync with anything.

I like it a lot better than Google Reader.
