Android: All Stories taking 20~ seconds to load

Clicking on the All Stories section takes 10-20 seconds to load. Even if I have already entered that section. This is the primary section I use in Newsblur and this has become nearly unusable.

How long does it take to load on the web?

About 3 seconds, on FF on PC.

Are you still seeing this issue with the 9.0 update?

It’s about 4 seconds now. Still a little slow, but much better, and actually usable now!!

This has since regressed, my android app is now taking 15-20 seconds to load the stories again. The website is still working in under 2 seconds.

Would like to re-raise this as it’s still an ongoing issue.

Can you try reinstalling the app (uninstall first, then install) and let me know if that helps at all?

That seemed to have fixed it for now. It’s now quite responsive

It’s back to taking 20+ seconds to load.

I am a premium user and struggling with this same problem since years.

Over the time, displaying “All Stories” takes longer and longer on Android (Galaxy S22). 15-20 s becomes normal. On the PC browser it’s fine.

I have 15 RSS feeds. Displaying each one of them works flawlessly.

It is only the All Stories (configured to display the first story automatically), which takes long.

You see “Loading…” and need to wait. Also moving to the next story may take long (~5 s).

I found a workaround years ago: deleting the app cache solves the problem, so I am doing it when it becomes unusable. But I dislike loosing the old stories and reading flags.

Of course if you reinstall the app like suggested above it solves it too, but cache cleanup is enough.

May we hope in a fix some day? Or do you have a suggestion to solve it?

Same issue on Wifi and 5G.
