using Feedly\u2019s mobile app<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading content on the go is the main appeal of Feedly\u2019s mobile app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, some users \u2013 particularly those with Android devices \u2013 are having concerns over the app\u2019s usability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For instance, a lot of users have issues with the gesture controls.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When reading an article, you may accidentally swipe from left to right while scrolling down. This prompts the app to take you back to the previous article.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you have to scroll all the way back to where you were in the article you\u2019re reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also shouldn\u2019t scroll through your feed and tap to stop. If you do, Feedly will automatically open the page where your finger happens to stop.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It sounds like a minor issue. But it\u2019s a major inconvenience for someone like me who likes to quickly scroll through heaps of articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than those concerns, the Feedly mobile app works well. In my opinion, it still offers the best way to read blogs on mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"feeder\">3.
