#1 reason I stopped using Readability was their "designs".
The web app had constant bugs, especially right after their big redesign and the Android mobile version was terrible. It would pop up a notification every 5 minutes to tell you it's checking for articles, and there was no way to turn that off.
Didn't change for a year, so I dumped them and said "guess this is an abandoned product".
The Android app has been similarly insanely buggy, and seems to want to completely re-download the article database every few uses. That was actually a big part of what pushed me to Pocket.
