Folders without cache look empty on planes. For moves, sign in restores follows while stories need fresh downloads. Export OPML for feed backup outside NewsBlur on long trips. Premium intelligence needs a current sub even with old articles still cached from before. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move NewsBlur feeds to a new phone?
Sign in on the new phone and feeds return from the account. Phone holds login and story cache only. Intelligence trainers read from cloud. Check the username before wiping, since a second account shows empty and hides premium folders.
Does NewsBlur work offline?
Yes for stories you saved offline. They live in private storage plus cache. Exact folder names vary by release. Use the offline manager to confirm. Read states sync separately from story text, so a synced folder can show over an empty cache.
