What is Reddit's opinion of
Flym?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
5 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Instead of relying on a particular news source, use a aggregater such as Google News or, my preference, Flym, which allows one to get feeds from any number of news outlets. Then you can quickly compare various articles and get a picture of, if not what's actually going on, at least of what points people do not agree upon.
I really like Flym. Currently it is android-only and won't work with TTRSS, but as it is open sourced on github, I wish someone would port it to support TTRSS.
Flym, because its just on RSS reader. Works well.
Though some feeds like Order the stick, republish their entire feed. So the whole thing shows up as new. Shrug. I've contacted their webmaster address to no avail.
Anyway 6.5 never showed up.
I am not the dev but just a user who wants to see GOOD open source apps like this succeed!
Keep in mind that this is STRICTLY a local RSS reader. It does NOT synchronize with cloud services in order to let the user manage their RSS feeds themselves for true independence. If you can't live without the cloud, this app is not for you!

Mmm, RSS reader you say? There are several open-source RSS readers, here's my fork with offline reading support.
I guess Google Reader discontinuation hit people hard, for me the argument for starting development was - if it's open-source, it's going to stay forever, unlike commercial apps.
Later I've reconsidered and forked 3 bucks for gReader, because there are many high-quality RSS reader apps, and it makes no sense to push my own half-finished app onto users, even it's free and opensource.
For me, the graphics does not matter that much, as long as the game is fun to play, and it absolutely does not matter what framework are you using (even Flash is fine, eww), as long as the game does not crash very often.
