NewsBar RSS reader App Reviews

Its great!

Works great on iOS 9 and iOS 10.

Great for freedom from third party aggregators… UI needs a tweak

The primary issue I have that prevents me from awarding 5 stars is that when you are reading an article and scrolling it, you (I) naturally want to move the content near the top of the screen and with NewsBar, it jumps to the next article the moment the last bit of content appears at the bottom of the preview screen. You simply cant scroll the last bit of content to the top of the window. This makes no sense to me. I can think of no use case where someone is going to read every single article in their feed one after the other (in reverse historical order no less). People scroll not to move on to the next article, they scroll to see more of the article they are reading at a place that is comfortable for their eyes. Even when I scroll back to the article I was trying to read, 8 times out of 10, I still try to scroll it and end up skipping to the next article AGAIN. Its very frustrating. I bought this and the desktop app purely and only for the iCloud sync feature. I need a way to keep my rss feeds the same on mac and iOS, as well as mark as read the same on both. The GUI is not so great, and the syncing can lag a little at times, but because it does sync without requiring some aggregation service, its a winner for me.

Needs a Dark Mode.

Not a bad app, but for now Im continuing to use Reeder.

It does almost nothing of the things it claims

I had bought this specifically for the notification feature and it does not work.

Looks terrible

I own NewsBar on Mac and its lovely. However, this app is not optimized for iPhone 6S Plus in terms of screen resolution. Since its a reader, you should update it for larger screens, not just make it compatible with the latest iOS, or at least leave an option of changing font size within the app

Good!!!

Great, I use it everyday. Perfect Sync with Mac-Version!!

I love this app!

Use newsbar on Mac, iPad and iPhone. iCloud syncing is great.

Broken on iPad mini retina

Keyboard keeps disappearing when you try to add RSS Feeds and the app crashes on several taps over and over. Cant use it in this state.

Nice!

Love the clean interface and iCloud sync. Makes managing feeds effortless.

Wipeout

The new iOS7 version wiped out all my feeds. Boo!

Great companion for news bar for Mac

Works seamlessly with the desktop version.

Brilliant!

Works perfectly on my 2 Macs (home and office), iPhone and iPad! Could not not ask for anything better.

Good, but wanted more

The app runs great, but I wanted to run feeds through kijiji, which it isnt capable of doing, but many other apps are.

Syncs well, nice design

I use this with my phone, iPad and computer, and love it!

Crashes repeatedly

Under ios8.02 this app crashes repeatedly. Too annoying to use.... I hope some one fixes it or apple pulls it!

No notifications in IOS 8 :(

I liked this app in IOS7, but now that it does not work with notification control in IOS 8, its a bit pointless.

Feeds gone

NewBar has been working adequately for quite some time but seems to have “lost touch” with the world. About 2 weeks ago my OS X version of NewsBar stopped updating. Today I’ve noticed the same in my iOS version. No idea what’s happened since it had been working well. I’ve sent in trouble reports.

使いやすいです

Google Readerから移行しました。 iCloudとMAC版のおかげで元と同じように使えています。

Nice and good App

Sync is works! Nice replace for dead google reader if you use only apple devices. Please add unread counter on app icon and background sync.

Bad app

No sync with Feedly or something similar, Crashes on reading, Old-fashion UI.
