Ratings and Reviews
Excellent except on Apple Vision Pro
Ever since the amount of articles have been increased in conjunction with the smart summaries feature, I’ve really come to appreciate how well this app filled the void left by Artifact.
Mobile version is excellent - feature rich and full of useful gestures. It needs a history section to keep track of articles I’ve clicked on. Sometimes I need to pick up where I left off!
Apple Vision Pro is currently not a good experience. Whenever I’m scrolling, it will randomly jump me back to the top of the feed! Or sometimes when I'm scrolling through the feed, I will accidentally select the scroll wheel and fling my feed around.
The scrolling needs to be looked into. I think there needs to be more space between controls so they don’t accidentally get selected.
Anyway mostly positive experience, just needs some refinement on AVP.

No font size options
So tired of text-centric apps such as this where all you do is read text and yet there is NO WAY to change the font size of the article text, even using iOS app-specific font size feature. What is the deal with these devs? It’s like making a car without the ability to adjust the seats. Unbelievable. Navigation from the tiny text article view is horrible. No way to swipe to next article or even dismiss the pop-up view. No easy way to mark articles as read. No mark read on scroll. This is just horrible… go check out other apps like Inoreader or Readkit and copy their main reading features. Then build off of that with your AI. Add more voice options. The default iOS voice is unbearable. Also your price is too high for what this offers. I like the idea of this which is why I care to leave such a review and it’s a great start to something amazing. It is just unusable… for me. Main gripes are above. Fix the problems and I’ll change this to a glowing 5 star review. UPDATE TO YOUR RESPONSE: No, you can’t. It does not change article font size which was my point.

Hi there,
Thank you for the constructive feedback. You can change font sizes via system settings. Voice options have also been tweaked to be more natural.

Such Promise, but now it’s just Bricked
I had VERY high hopes that I could replace Artifact. I read news all day long and need a great news aggregator. With a few tweaks Bulletin could have been it. But now, I’m stuck. I changed some setting that was only for paid I guess and now I can’t click on any article to read it. I sent a request to create a rest button for standard settings, but that has yet to appear. So I’m stuck. I can’t read any articles with out the “pay now” pop up. I would TOTALLY pay for Artifact and was prepared to pay for Bulletin, but I just needed more time to feel comfortable with the app before plunking down the lifetime license. Since this app is essentially bricked with no guidance on how to get out of it, it gets 1 star.

Hi there,
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. The App Store listing mentions IAP. I have now increased the free trial limit to allow viewing more smart summaries and articles before presenting the IAP screen.
Thanks,
Shihab
