I'm sorry, I tried this and thought it imported my google reader stuff but it didn't. Instead, it suggested articles for me to read etc and eventually I decided this is not my GR replacement. (Don't get me wrong, I'd totally use this IF I wasn't on GR. This is good for first time, but for migrating from GR, I don't think so)

I wanted to delete my account since I don't plan on using it....but then there's no delete account! Shouldn't that be one of the first features? (Although I do understand people make it hard for users to delete to give their apps a chance)

Sorry for your bad experience. The import adds both your subscriptions as well as topic feeds we think you'll be interested in based on your GR activity, so it's not going to be exactly the same content. You can remove them if you like by going from 'interests' in the home or profile header.

We currently process delete account requests manually -- if you use the feedback tool within the app or email us at feedback@getprismatic.com we'll be happy to take care of it for you. Adding this as an option directly within the app is in the works as well.

Thanks. No worries there :) I am not into bashing other people's hard work, but sometimes you just know it's not fit for you (case in point, mine).

I got confused the first tie with those jumping bubbles after the import as well. So I just went straight and clicked "Get Started". Anyway, I'm just saying it's not for me, but everyone, please try it first to see for yourself :) It has a neat UI and all.

Fat-fingered downvote, apologies.
