I’m using Reeder 3 and it’s actually quite good. The author updates it when it’s necessary but yeah, no new features are in the pipeline apparently.

It's crashing a lot for me lately, to the tune of every 100 articles, or sometimes when you go in/out the web view too fast. Mind you, I'm not a power user at all, just a regular feed consumer. This happened a lot on High Sierra, and the Mojave beta has made it much worse (although that is to be expected).

  Huh. I can’t remember Reeder ever crashing, and I’ve just checked and found none in the logs. Different usage patterns I guess.

    Ditto, though I open it maybe 3-5 times in a day and rarely have more than 50 or so articles queued up. Also, I open links in Safari instead of the built in web view on both Mac and iOS.

    Reeder crashes for me if I leave it open all of the time, usually sometime between the 24-48 hour mark. But if I'm just opening it, reading, and then closing, it seems to be fine.

Same here. It seems to check all the authors needs, other than being constantly updated.... But then, if it's not broke, not sure what need there is to keep pushing updates?

Reeder is the best right now, but author disappears for a long stretch of time without updates, then large release, few bug-fix releases and then again quiet time. Despite the fact he promised more frequent updates recently — he's been silent for a long time to think Reeder is dead. It's been crashing a lot lately, so not sure what to expect.

  I think this is to be expected, since the app is not subscription-based. We should all switch to subscriptions for apps that we use seriously, to avoid this exact problem.

    It’s an RSS reader. I don’t expect anything but bug fixes, because I’m not sure there are any new features I’d care about. Reeder does it’s job and does it well. My only complaint would be I’d prefer to use the native share sheet, not have to go through the Reeder one to get to the native one. But that’s not a huge problem. And I think Reeder may predate useful share sheets in iOS.
