I want to like it, but it is not sending me push notifications, and that is a deal breaker. I run lineage OS and have ntfy as a unified push provider but expected that the app would be able to have a check interval at which time it would send me notifications if anything was new. The description says it’s capable of doing notifications, but I did not see them in several hours of using it with notifications turned on. This is probably one I will revisit in the future to see if there’s any progress on it.

Edit: I just realized in filing a comment on a bug report with my experience this morning that the system never did prompt me to allow notifications for the app. So I manually went in and allowed notifications and so we will see if that works.

Edit 2: that worked. Add a new feed, swipe up to go to app switcher, tap read you icon, tap app info, tap notifications, and turn them on. Switch back to read you, long press a feed, and tap allow notification (it doesnt respect the setting when you add the feed for some reason)

    Opening an issue on their repo and helping to debug it would be much more beneficial.

      Oh, I probably will do that. I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

      Edit: I found a few open issues that are similar to mine and just added my experience to one of them.

      I have no idea. I haven’t looked at their GitHub or anything. I just know that it wasn’t working in the version that I got from F-Droid. If I remember correctly, the version I got was released in February.
