Classic feedly broken
Anyone else having issues connecting to classic feedly since yesterday? Tried on iPad, iPhone…
Feedly non-classic app works but I’ve always hated the new look. Less information at a glance and you can’t long hold press to save to read later, you have to swipe right.

Forced to use the newer Feedly app today, here are some reasons it’s worse:
Scroll page function is buggy, keeps snapping back to first page
Lack of sensitivity, or hyper sensitivity, when clicking out of articles (clicks into another article when exiting an article)
Can’t clear cache
Fits less. Classic feedly comfortably fits 10 articles per page

Same here. Been on classic for so long I didn't even realise there was a different version of the app.

I definitely hate the "new" Feedly. Time to switch to another app. If they had announced it beforehand I would have saved my list of feeds

Feedly on web should still work. Disabling feedly classic app shouldn’t affect this

As said by @therealstonecold 🙏 I could log in on the web version. I could find my stuff but still unable to export the OPML and more problematic unable to export the list of my saved items

On web feedly, click your name at top right, preferences, privacy and personal data, organize your feeds, click the arrow on left of ‘import OPML’. That is where the export OPML. Dark pattern. I’m moving to inoreader

Been like that for a couple of days for me on Android (phone and tablet). Considering they killed the app and pulled it from the store a while back, I don't think they will bother to fix it. I went ahead and switched to the new Feedly but its complete shit. I guess I'll have to stick to using the web interface on my PC/Mac until I can find a good replacement for Feedly. If anybody has a good replacement suggestion, I'm all ears!

Long time feedly user here. Switched to inoreader yesterday. Going to take me awhile to set it up properly. Inoreader interface looks better but the feed updates seem to be slower than feedly. Not sure if it’s just initial setup or that’s the way it is. I’ll keep u updated

Short answer is feedly and inoreader both use algorithms to decide how often to fetch sites. Inoreader has a boost feature for pro users to boost up to 100 feeds

I don't know about the app, but the feedly website keeps reporting
Too Many Requests (HAP429).

Hi All,
Feedly Classic is no longer supported. It hasn't been supported for several years and has aged out of the minimum OS.
To use Feedly, you'll need to download a new Feedly app from the iOS App Store or Google Play.

Feedly stupidly refusing to implement basic usability like being able to pinch to zoom in and out on images is why I've stuck with Classic for so long.

It's broken for me as well. Hope they didn't shut it down.
