What's the source of that $5/month claim? It's not on Reeder's site or twitter - is there another place that's come out? Not calling your statement into question or anything, just very disappointed to find that out...

Reeder is replacing syncing to Google Reader with Synching to Feedbin, which costs $2 per month The complaint about iPhone is also only short term, since the team is working on adapting the other apps to use Feedbin as well before the shutdown date. I think Feedbin was $5 per month and have discounted the price because of all the refugees being anticipated. In short, OP can continue what he was previously doing, only now it would cost $2 per month rather than free. He wanted them to store the sync information somewhere free, like Dropbox, rather than Feedbin Relevant links: https://feedbin.me/ https://feedbin.me/ http://reederapp.com/reader/ http://reederapp.com/reader/ I think I am just going to signup for Feedbin, I haven't really been able to adapt to using Feedly

  I ended up choosing Feedbin after looking at the alternatives. I didn't really want something "innovative". I rather enjoy my workflow. Their web client is pretty decent, and somewhat resembles my favorite native app, Reeder. When Reeder updates, I'll happily continue to pay Feedbin to serve as the backend for sync only.

  I have a bad feeling about the future of iPad/OSX Reeder. It's a shame, because they are excellent applications, but I'm actively investigating alternatives. rss2imap, in particular.

Yeah - particularly since reeder syncing is now via feedbin which is 2$ a month. Which makes this service 84$ a year. A bit steep in my opinion - particularly the reeder part. I'm willing to pay up front for software that runs on my phone, but I'm not sure I'd pay 60$ for reeder, and making it a subscription, for a non-hosted service, would be a deal breaker for me. Hopefully this report is inaccurate/mistaken in some way.

  I'm sure the $5/month was a reference to the syncing service, not in addition to it.
