Ziner - RSS Reader that believes in simplicity App Reviews

Its really good app. Especially auto readerbility function is very useful. I want just one more feature that can make designating front page when i open the app. And please updete it asap for ios8. I use this app everyday life. But it shut down accidentally on ios8. Anyway thanks for making this app!

Good app, but keeps crashing since updating to iOS 8.

I really want to love this app. It unfortunately crashes all the time.

Sep 18, 2014: a day later after install iOS 8, the app keeps crashing after opening first article. This is the same on both the iPhone and the iPad. This has to be fixed for it to be usable on ios 8. Hence Im lowering my rating to 1 from 4 until this is fixed. Sep 17, 2014: Ive been using this app for a bit now both on the iPhone and iPad, and find that it generally provides a really nice experience. Having said that, there are a couple of features that I think would elevate the app further. 1. Ability to organize the folders/categories in the feed. Now the top level is alphabetically sorted. Most of the other apps Ive used provides this feature and Id love to see the same here. 2. A way to see the folders/categories for the starred items rather than grouping all starred items into one group, "Starred". This is something that Reeder provides and its really useful. Thanks for all the work making this app as good as it is today.

It Was a very good app but, Force close and crash after updated to iOS 8, plz fix this soon I really need this app !

Here’s my original review: "The RSS reader Ive been waiting years for. Simple, clean, elegant, smooth. Someone was finally listening! Im in!" I was so excited to finally find an app like this, even bought the Pro version. But within the last few weeks, it’s crashed a few times and froze. I’ve emailed support, no response at all. And since iOS 8 was installed on my phone, it crashes every time I try to open an article. Again, sent to support, no response at all. Until it gets fixed or updated, I wouldn’t recommend this app at all, especially if you’re running iOS 8.

Crashes constantly

The app is really great but never following system updates. That happened with ios 7 and now with 8.

Prior to the iOS 8 update this was my go to RSS reader. The layout and options were everything I was looking for in an app like this. Since the release of iOS 8 this app cannot open on my iPhone 6 or iPad without crashing. At this point the app is unusable and I am hoping like others for an update to fix this critical bug.

Fixed for iOS8 now. Still the best rss reader out there!

iOS8 bugs have been resolved. All is well. Strikes a nice balance between apps the present articles as a magazine and those that are merely lists. Readability integration provides a quick way to read an entire article without visiting the website.

{22 September update: AND WERE BACK!!!} Looks like all is well with iOS 8 now and my favorite reader is back in action. Thanks! ------ And I really am bummed. Zinger was the only RSS reader that I use. Great functionality and a good looking app; however, it is now only good at one thing, listing the articles in your feeds. Try to read an article and the app crashes. This is true on every iOS device I own. Worse yet, after the app crashes, you lose that article you wanted to read. Lets get to work developers. As a paying user, I really would like to use the app.

Want to give this app 5 stars, but its a data hog. Ive looked all over the settings to see what can be changed, but havent found a solution yet. In 2 weeks of use on my commutes (only time I use it on my cell network) it consumed over 900MB of data. Other than that, it applies easy to learn gestures and doesnt try to complicate things like most other readers.

Crashes on startup on latest generation iPad and iPhone 5s.

this is very good. I love this app.

This is my favorite rss reader on the iPhone, and I own reeder 2, unread, feedly, newsify, and a host of others. It syncs amazingly fast and has a much more natural interface. I wish it had native iPhone 6 support and updated the unread count badge when doing a background refresh. Otherwise, its great.

This was one of the fastest rss news readers out there. I loved it. Now its very slow and all I see is the " loading articles" spinner. I am deleting it now

1. YouTube functions incorrectly when a full screen video playing through the app is rotated to landscape. The video closes and upon returning to portrait mode the app content shifts up and becomes unusable until the app is closed and restarted. 2. The edge swiping gesture is very unpredictable and needs to be addressed. There seems to be an indistinguishable difference in gestures required to make the app go back to the article list vs switching between articles. This could easily be addressed by setting the top half of the screen to take you between articles and the bottom back to the article list. I would also like to see a toggle-able option in settings to turn of article-article swiping all together 3. This one is small, but you should consider incorporating the sync notifications that drops down into the system bar instead of having the overhang which affects visibility and usability to see how this would work while fitting into existing iOS design guidelines check out how the Mailbox app by Dropbox refreshes

Interaction with this app doesnt seem obvious. I keep accidentally finding things I didnt know were there. But the more I use it, the better it gets. It has replaced Reeder on my devices. Agree with review that said the swipes from left side are erratic. Also note inconsistency between iPad & iPhone on swipe from right: in iPad, it marks the item as read, while in iPhone, it turns on readability. I prefer the former.

Ziner has a lot of promise, but a bug hinders it! Many articles have portions missing or blocked and there is no sense upgrading until that is fixed! Id like to see the ability to select a particular feed as the default view instead of all as an option! I like the fact that you have a choice between list view and magazine view! I use it and others to replace Zite which Flipboard is letting decline! I dont use Flipboard because the flow is disjointed and screwed up from my perspective! I like a clean magazine view! Thats why I rarely use pulse also! Fix Ziner developers!
