Cons
Con No Team Integration
No ability to share information with others within the native app.
Con There is no free plan
One of the few news readers that does not offer a free plan. They have a 14 day trial, after that a subscription is $3/month.
Con Unreliable after being installed a while
After about a week, this app stops working as intended. Features like syncing and caching are the most common features to break.
Con Lack of updates may cause compatibility issues
The last update to the Google Play Store was January 2014. It looks like it's been abandoned, so will likely have increasing issues with bugs and compatibility concerns with newer Android versions.
Con Android only
You are limited to only using the app on an Android device.
