It’s only free up to 64 feeds though (which I’m currently still below, but what in half a year?), and it feels pretty slow. It also doesn’t seem to come with a good mobile web version, so you need to use the app, which I’ll install and test tomorrow, but the first comments I read about it didn’t seem promising.

Oh well. A private web version (something like my own google reader on my server) would work, too, but I guess that’s such a specialized use case that nobody got around to make it. And I sure can’t do it myself, I suck when it comes to “web programming”.

But the fact that they killed a couple of features I really liked, one in favor of G+ integration and one just because they could I guess, and that the whole thing is now much, much slower in actually pulling down and displaying feeds (despite claims of being faster)… well, that is pissing me off.

Still looking for an acceptable substitute.
