Pros and cons of The Black RSS Reader app for iPhone and iPad

The Black RSS Reader app good for

While automatic discovery is nice, it would be great to specify a feed, as some sites, like Wordpress have multiple feeds associated to the same site. Just the same, I like reverse colours. Easy to use and read.
Disregard the idiot who said that this app was "racist". The "black" in the title is a reference to the design scheme of the app; it was not a racial reference. That design looks fantastic, by the way. Adding feeds is easy and the articles are displayed beautifully. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is the number of new posts wasnt updating right. Other than that, its great.
The Black RSS Reader is an awesome RSS reader! Its ability to find RSS feeds from websites entered into the search is quick and painless. From editing the titles of your RSS feeds to deleting feeds you no longer want to pull...this apps simply works!

Some bad moments

Ben les compteurs des feeds sont toujours à 0, même avec le refresh ! The number on the side is always 0, no matter the refresh action !
Ya I have had it for about a month and I am not impressed with the functionality. Waste of a buck when others are free
If it was for free it would be too expensive! The app is unresponsive, slow and on top some items and menus show in Chinese or Japanese (I wouldnt know the difference). Run and dont look back!
It works,But it lacks of important options to manage feed and to set the refresh.ansi parsing its far from perfection for other languages.keep on developing it!
I thought it looked cool, but when I clicked into a post there is only the button to go to Safari. I cant go back to the list without closing and reopening the app. Also, there is no help or Faq, so I have no idea how to do anything. I hope the update is more informative and functional. You have my dollar, if I could get a refund I would, because this incomplete app should not have cost anything.
Not the greatest RSS reader. Doesnt change the number of feeds after you read them. Cant delete after reading. But its cheaper then a Hershey bar. So no huge loss
