Comments and Reviews
It's simple and open-source. The UI is clean and nicely dark. This is a good basic software, but it's not without its flaws.
At times, it would forget your latest read entries or a feed would refuse to be added.
I like functionality of Raven Reader, it has all I need to read rss. But on Ubuntu AppImage version I don't like UI - no options to resize window, or maximize it, so bottom elements of interface not applicable for using. Non usable on Ubuntu (maybe on other distro app is good as on screenshots, but i didn't try yet)

I checked back the app and where it was for sale at $10/yr before it's now free but it also now doesn't work... Adding feeds only works 1 out of 2 times and reloading the app will make your previously added feeds disappear (as in, all of them). What a shame, Moved on to
Fluent Reader
Hi there,
Thanks for the review. Just curious can you send the feed that didn't work for you? So that we can look into fixing it.
@mrgodhani On Github, your account is the owner / creator of the Raven Reader app. Is this why you have downvoted my honest review of the app? I am not sure that you are open to further honest feedback and which feed did or did not work. Best.
Not bad. The operation is lightweight and comfortable. However, the range of customization is too narrow. (width of columns, date format, etc.)
This is a great reader and also helps me to slowly transition all my apps from mac to linux. :)
