Jordan (ID: 00000044fb35772d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/21/2021 Doesn't appear to work? At least, not the favicon part. I thought it might be an issue with Feedly Pro, but tried it with a regular account and saw no visible differences. It got an update just a few days ago so hopefully this can be fixed.

Andrew Dakin (ID: 0000001e25816993) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/26/2013 This needs an update for some bug fixes. It has a lot of potential.

Niclas Söderlund (ID: 00000001392d9db4) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/20/2013 I agree with others - the fact that hiding unread categories isnt functioning, makes it a three star rating. Fix that, and you got yourself a big old five-star review.
