I understand this much. I tried it and it was awful for the reasons stated above.

Reeder did a similar rebrand recently and it was similarly received. It looks pleasant (and way better than Tapestry) but doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny (same as Tapestry). I had to switch RSS app that I’ve been using since 1st gen iPod Touch so I’m a bit pissed ;) I understand Iconfactory had to reinvent itself because Musk killed Twitterific but this just doesn’t work and it’s been proven to not work already.
