CloudNews for Android

Please allow the app to have the sepia theme even though my phone is on dark mode. The black background makes it hard to read on websites.

Nice concept, but it just doesn’t perform as well as the webui or android app. Loads wrong article half the time. Crashes and freezes often. Themes are cool, but make some articles unreadable due to black text on black bg. And the ads, oh the ads...not in the app, but ones usually blocked when feed is loaded in safari. Will check back next year and see if any improvements are made.

Every time the app updates the state of feeds it freezes for a significant period of time. It is then usually quite sluggish afterwards for a little while. The display for articles in a feed uses some weird unintuitive indentation and I’m not quite sure why, but something about the layout seems to make it harder than I would expect to just scan through articles.

The articles are displayed about 1 word per line.

Works good but some feeds duplicate articles thru this app (checked on server and the duplicates aren’t there). Other then that it’s a solid app
