I used that app heavily, and it certainly wasn't perfect. It had annoying bugs/behavior; some that I remember:

(1) confusing vertical scrolls with horizontal swipes;

(2) going back to the top of a story after rotating the screen;

(3) limited ability to manage feeds;

(4) an annoying delay when switching between screens;

(5) failure to follow the Jelly Bean "up" convention

(6) pictures would not be automatically scaled to fit the screen

it wasn't _terrible_ either. I'm sad to see Reader go, but there was plenty of room for improvement. I'm now happily using (and paying for) Newsblur.

That iPhone-focused mobile view served me well for many years. I vastly preferred it to all iterations of the Android app and often use it on my desktop too. Showing only 15 items and being able to mark just them as read was a great workflow for me.

Exactly. It is also great on a Galaxy Tab.

Do any of the alternatives to Reader have a good app for Android ?
