I decided to take a look at the redesigned mobile app after some time not using it. Can't believe how much worse it got.

I don't appreciate their move towards "social" feed sure, but the reader has genuinely gotten worse. I remember that it used to have the options to adjust:

- Line Height

- Page Width

- Text Alignment

- Fonts beyond the defaults (for paid subscribers, which I am one).

In the new app, it was all gone. Yet, I'm still paying the same premium price for it. The web app still has those perks, but it's probably because there hasn't been any update to it for the past 2 years or so.

I haven't had any use for the app for some years now. Like what many say in this thread, it's not that hard to build a system that replaces it well enough. You just need to make it scrape links, turn them to markdown (personal preference), and index the entire content for FTS in SQLite.

Thanks to the OP for reminding me to cancel my subscription. Now I just need to find a way to export my huge pocket archive before the subscription renews.
