    I love the Feedly web client (enough to pay for Feedly Pro). The mobile implementation sucks. Your design looks OK, but don't try to do stuff for me like Flipboard does (did). I'll choose my own sources and decide for myself what is important.

      Thanks for insight, Todd. Would you mind sharing what about the mobile implementation you don’t like?

      And did Flipboard start shoving recommendations in your face or curated feed? I’m unsure of the direction they went, haven’t used their app in a few years.

      Hi Todd, we're working on a new mobile app and the design will be improved as well: https://blog.feedly.com/introducing-the-mobileai-lab/

      "don't try to do stuff for me like Flipboard does (did). I'll choose my own sources and decide for myself what is important."

      This a million times.

      Agree. I think the less than ideal Feedly mobile experience is why a lot of people just sit Reeder on top of Feedly. That’s what I do. Feedly seems to have ‘discovery’ as a core design principle - big images, magazine layouts, etc. Takes so much longer to go through articles. Reeder on the other hand, in my mind, has ‘efficiency’ at its core and consequently its much faster to go through your feeds.
