Feedly Classic

A Google user

I guess you know your new version sucks when you need to keep the old one around just to keep your users happy. The new version needs a less bland looking UI, a setting to open full articles directly, and the list view option. Both versions can use a dark mode with more contrast, e.g. Google News. Anyway, thanks for keeping this version around.

Back in the day I used the Pulse News app, and I still miss the design to this day. Then LinkedIn bought Pulse and proceeded to release a new (and absolutely neutered and godawful) version of the app, leaving behind tons of long-term users. So I migrated over to Feedly and enjoyed it a lot for a few years, only for the design to be completely overhauled in a way that removed functionality I enjoyed while adding nothing of value. Now I have to download a separate app just to continue with an experience that didn't need to be changed in the first place. I would look for a new news aggragator, but the odds seem to be in favor of it being ruined a couple years after I start using it.

Far more readable than the new Feedly. Has all the things the new version got rid of: Distinct visual separation between headline and excerpt, Mark as Read button in the same place each time, consistent number of articles per screen scroll, let me count the ways. The new version feels like the predecessor with some fluid animations which serve to distract rather than enhance.

I had looked through several apps before deciding on Feedly. The classic version was superior to News 360 and Flipboard and several other feed/aggregator apps. Now I'm just left with one question: Why? Why is this even a thing? More importantly, why is it not the thing it claims to be. The actual classic version of Feedly worked perfectly in landscape view on my convertable. Now, with the new, allegedly the same, app I can only get functional utility in tablet mode.

After the severely disappointing update to Feedly pretty much making the app unusable, Classic is a great reversion that goes back to what made this app the best RSS reader. Its way more stable, and aside from the fact that you can't switch betwern apps without it crashing, everything else works great. Please don't screw this up with future updates Labs!

Made the mistake of adding Yahoo news. They show you the headline, but when you click one. Yahoo's site only shows the headline too, and no story, most of the time. There was no way (that I could find) to them remove Yahoo's feed from my list, and was permanently stuck with a bunch of non-stories in my list. Very annoying. Not user-friendly. Update to your reply: I have no idea what you mean by "left navigation". If I click the ... There's no option to remove anything.

Little bug report: both the new Feedly & the Feedly Classic are not able to use the widget on my device -- LG Stylo 2 running Android 7.0 -- new Feedly crashes my launcher when I try to place it on the home screen, Feedly Classic doesn't let me select which feed to use after I select the refresh interval, & it says "Error downloading articles. Tap to retry." when placed. Refreshing the widget does nothing.

Many times an app update makes things worse. This happened with Feedly, so I was happy they kept the old style. But now the old version opens links in its own special web browser. I don't want to use your browser, feedly! I want to use mine. this is one reason i never read articles from the Facebook app. i have a browser, i like my browser, it has my extensions and bookmarks, and i don't like yours. why do devs do this?

I really, really didn't like the new app interface and am very happy you have provided the old version here. I hope the lack of color on the icon does not mean you are planning to phase this out. Did I mention that I really dislike the new interface? (I used it for long enough that I should have been able to get used to it, giving it a fair shot.)

Thank you so much for providing this. I rely on feedly every day at my job. You obviously put a lot of effort into the changes to the main Feedly app, but I find the new interface borderline unusable. Thank you for keeping the classic interface available. You might think about letting users know about this app in the main Feedly app - I was lucky enough to stumble upon it in the Play Store when I came here to complain about the changes.
