About Feedly
Feedly discovers and monitors the open web to find and enrich relevant content you can analyze, and share with your team.
Its easy to use, well priced , works on all my devices and has a friendly user interface.
There are some days where the feeds have limited content for the pages I need to post for. I end up not posting on that day.

Great RSS Reader
Pros:
I use Feedly since Google's RSS Reader disappeared a long time ago. I love it! I use it both on my phone and laptop daily to keep up with the news and articles related to my work. I also like the "save" feature which lets you save a post to read it later. It is also very easy to add new content to follow.
Cons:
Sometimes it takes a couple of hours to provide new content, but it might be because of the free version I use. I can't think of anything else.
Competitor Feed
Pros:
Makes my competitor research easily and gives me the opportunity to stay up-to-date on the market and product industry.
Cons:
Some webpages couldn't load for quick read, i know it is not Feedly's fault but a solution would be awesome
Great feature set but needs competition
Comments: Feedly is in a unique position to capitalize on its unique feature set, but unless more serious competitors enter this space, I expect prices to remain high.
Pros:
Feedly is the only product I could find that offers the features that most "lightweight" RSS readers lack: the ability to process feeds using machine learning and the ability to have team-wide sets of RSS feeds.
Cons:
Feedly has the concept of an "organization" and a "team," but an organization can only have a single team. It would be much more effective if we could have multiple teams under the same organization. Feedly is expensive; it could use some competition to help drive prices down.
Good way to have your news curated and delivered on a single platform
Pros:
I like the fact that I can have all major news platforms and their content aggregated on a single platform
Cons:
The fact that it is based on a technology that not all content producers are plugged in, thus reducing the apps capacity to fully substitute the need to visit each website individually
Incredible Time Saver
Comments:
I decided to use Feedly as a time saver for my trend analysis and platform update research for my agency. I'd previously spent hours culling through my sources looking for relevant industry information, but with this web app, I was able to open ONE link to see all my sources.
I teach all the new people on the team to use Feedly.
Pros:
Feedly's capabilities as a source aggregator saved me hours and ours of research every week.
Cons:
I wasn't able to figure out how to only pull specific topics within the categories. It ended up being fine because I narrowed in on the pages I needed to pull from, but it would have been great to be able to add keywords or topics.
Feedly A Good Social Media Posting Source
Comments: My overall experience with Feedly has been good. I have used it as a content source for over 3 years.
Pros:
I use Feedly for most of my social media posts. It creates enough different feeds where I can find content for most pages that I promote.
Cons:
There are some days where the feeds have limited content for the pages I need to post for. I end up not posting on that day.
My favorite news feed
Comments: Feedly has integrated itself into my morning wake-up routine. I have tried to find alternative services to see what is out there, but I find myself never temp to change.
Pros:
Feedly has made it easy for me to find and manage my news feeds. I have used several different methods over the years but this is the one service that I've never felt the need to look for another. It's easy to use, customizable, and generally just works.
Cons:
It has periodically had issues with suddenly showing old entries for a bunch of feeds or other annoying issues. But has overall been quite stable. I have seen some services that claim to display articles based on what you read. While these services have not been nearly as useful as Feedly, this is a feature that I think could be useful.
Feedly Handles the Fire Hose of Info
Comments: I'm happy with the service and upgraded to the paid version which includes Leo. It works well with pulling in RSS feeds, Twitter feeds, and newsletters. It's nice to have the info come into a central place than having to go to so many other sources.
Pros:
It nicely pulls in the sources I want to follow and provides an easy way for me to scan and determine what I should read. I also like that with the paid version you can pull in newsletters via a feedly email address.
Cons:
There is a cap on the number of newsletters you can pull in. And I wish it were easier to ignore certain items such as ones with foreign languages.
Niche Marketing Newsfeed
Comments: I am using Feedly to get my weekly dose of marketing specific and hospitality specific topics and trends. I like that I can add my own sources as well apart from the big magazine names. SUrprisingly its recommendation tool is also very helpful and it knows what exactly I am interested in topic wise.
Pros:
- bookmarking - a loooot to read - can import from other feedlly competitors - synch with mobile app
Cons:
- limits....sometimes I read more than my limits...but that's just me
Feedly is my best reader
Pros:
Generally, Feedly is perfectly ideal for quick reading of subscriptions. Each category of subscriptions or posts of one blog for you is a mini-magazine that you can read fluently both at the counter in the store or meticulously, at home on the couch. All the management of Feedly - it's comfortable and simple strokes on the screen.
Cons:
I do not quite understand why the connection of Feedly with the free IFTTT costs money. Perhaps there are other ways of monetization.

Hi Nataliia, thanks for reviewing our product! Feel free to reach out to our support team if you have questions about our integrations, we'd be happy to help!
Feedly is how I get my news and info
Comments: Overall, I have been glad for Feedly since Google Reader was shut down.
Pros:
Feedly makes gathering blogs and news easy. I cannot imagine having a feedreader to collect information from all my sources each day.
Cons:
I miss the community aspect that Google Reader had. Having the ability to talk with friends about the content of various posts and articles made reading much more enjoyable.
Exploring the Pros and Cons of Feedly: A Comprehensive Review
Comments: Feedly is a good choice for users who are looking for a customizable news aggregator that is easy to use and integrates with other apps and tools. However, the lack of social features and the cost of advanced features may be a drawback for some users
Pros:
Feedly allows users to curate their own feeds, selecting sources and topics that are relevant to their interests.Feedly has a mobile app for both iOS and Android, making it easy for users to access their feeds on the go.Feedly uses a card-style interface that allows users to quickly browse through articles and content without the clutter of ads or other distractions.
Cons:
While Feedly is free for basic use, more advanced features, such as the ability to search and save articles, require a paid subscription
Feed Your Inspiration Not Your Inbox
Comments: My experience is positive for the most part and once I can afford to upgrade I will. I like to get as much information into my brain without signing up for more newsletters that I know I will never read. That would create an even bigger spam box.
Pros:
I like being able to follow my favorite content like websites, blogs or magazines without having to fill up my inbox with newsletters. I don't need everyone to have my email especially if it's the first time I discovered the site. I prefer Feedly. It's an easy-to-use app that lets me save a blog or magazine site and follow it. I can keep up with what is new and organize it into categories.
Cons:
Well, you can get enough use with the free version but you are limited to how much you follow and content create a ton of categories unless you subscribe to the premium version.
Remember the days of RSS readers?
Comments: A lot of time is saved finding the content you need to share. Even keeping up to speed on your industry or skills is easy-peasy.
Pros:
Well, this is a lot like that, only quite a bit better. Feedly is a critical tool for any marketing team that needs to find good quality content to share. Feedly even has the ability to make it a collaborative process. Bookmark, share, schedule, and save your favourite sources by theme.
Cons:
Sometimes apps have arbitrary pay-points, and in some ways, Feedly feels this way. Lots of value in both free and paid plans though

Thank you for your review, we truly appreciate taking the time to give us positive feedback! Happy reading :)
Everything in one place
Pros:
I love that all my information feeds are in one place and that I can search based on my interests. This allows me to share easily and also view differing perspectives on the topic of interest. I can also track my competitors and this assists market research.
Cons:
Would be great if I could schedule posts directly to LinkedIn from the app. It allows you to share immediately but it would be great to be able to schedule the post. I currently use another app (not using integration) with feedly so that I can schedule posts but it would be better if feedly could do that.
A better way to read the internet after Google Reader
Comments: Awesome and i never had any problem using it, the free plan are awesome the paid plan are more awesome, the only downside is the search feature are only available on premium plan.
Pros:
- Feedly are a very good alternative RSS reader after Google Reader discontinue - fast & many layout design for reading the content (compact, magazine etc) - the free plan offer an OK function - Black themes - Image thumbnail are pre-chaced, so i can see images from a website that blocked in my country. - recommendation feature on similar content are super-super awesome
Cons:
- no search function for free user - sometimes i overwhelmed with how much rss website i subscribe. - ads are in the middle of the rss feed, the same design with content, very very sneaky way to get a high click rate, but i dont blame them as it is a free version.
Feedly saves me time!
Comments: Overall, Feedly is a huge time saving tool for me as a time poor Salesperson. I can achieve in 20mins what what usually take hours of scaaning the web for information. I highly recommend Feedly.
Pros:
My primary use for Feedly is for keeping up to date with my Clients in the media which is critical to my role. Feedly allows me to aggregate all the media alerts of my clients into a single, easy to digest, platform. I can then spend 10-20 minutes each morning reading the lastest news and alerts about my clients and take that knowledge into my days meetings and interactions. It enables me to be alot more informed.
Cons:
At the beginning I found it slightlty confusing to set up and differentiate my news list. However quickly learnt the process and was on my way.
The most popular RSS reader, although not the best
Comments: It is easy to use and intuitive, but it lacks some options that are necessary today.
Pros:
It is a standard in handling RSS information and is very stable. It has a high number of options for consulting RSS feeds. Offers high-level options, such as keyword monitoring
Cons:
It does not yet include options for creating RSS feeds on pages that do not have it. It does not have specific options to be able to generate RSS feeds on social platforms such as Twitter or Instagram.
Excellent RSS App and Content Aggregator
Comments: Liking it so far. Switched to the pro plan about half a year ago, and no complaints so far.
Pros:
its easy to use, well priced , works on all my devices and has a friendly user interface
Cons:
I wish it integrated directly with scoop.it which is my curation software of choice.
absolute best RSS reader
Comments: almost perfect and rarely do I use perfect to describe software tools!
Pros:
so many content floating around the web nowadays, using a RSS is a must to curate the top content from trusted news source, and feedly does just that, also Leo the AI component does the job real well
Cons:
so far nil, though it did has a small learning curve which i consider normal for SaaS anyway
Feedly Review
Comments: I use this tool throughout the day to save and access all of my RSS feeds.
Pros:
Feedly is an amazing RSS feed tool that I have used for years. I used to manually subscribe to RSS feeds over the web. Feedly allows me to search and select the sites that I would like to receive RSS updates for and get them all in one central and searchable place.
Cons:
Once in a while I have some issues with trying to save feeds into a saved section. This has only happened a couple times in several years, but it was a bit frustrating.
All news in one!
Pros:
I am in a profession that requires me to keep on top of what's happening every day. Feedly really gave me a solution for that. Now I don't have to scramble to open a million tabs to be on top of my news. It also tells me which are the stories that are popular so if I'm running short on time, I can always focus on those instead.
Cons:
I like everything about it so far! It fulfills my needs well.
Feedly saved my life when Google Reader shut down
Comments: Overall, Feedly has been a solid feed reader for me for many years. The features available in the free version are plenty for me.
Pros:
Feedly is a sleek and simple feed reader. It was there when I needed it most, when Google Reader shut down. It had a simple import tool to import all of my feeds.
Cons:
I feel that there are a number of features that should be available for free, but are only available in the paid version. All I need is in the free version.
Excellent Product!
Comments: My overall experience with Feedly is one that is very positive.
Pros:
Feedly is a wonderful tool that helps us in our daily business and work for non-profits. We've never had any problems using it.
Cons:
I honestly cannot think of any negatives to say about using Feedly in our program on a daily basis.
Feedly - A great aggregator app
Pros:
It helps me categorize the feeds I follow and curate the wait I want
Cons:
Some feeds that I like the most are missing on the app, may be it is the issue of the bloggers more than the platform
