Feedly's chief executive Edwin Khodabakchian said that the company is committed to fixing the problems adding that Feedly did not currently import OPML files but would gain the functionality and users could export the dataGoogle and reload it en masse into Feedly at some point over the coming days. 

According to the report, Flipboard which had promised that users' Google Reader Subscription will be safe on their service, found users experiencing error that showed 'no new items' to download and that there was no content atto view in the Google Reader section of its product. 

Flipboard has said that system needs some time forcontent forfeeds to populate. 

However, Digg reader did not report of any glitches to its services after Google Reader shutdown but said that 'key features' including the ability to mark an item as being 'unread' and an option to display only unread items still needs to be added. 

The report further added that Google Reader had been the most popular tool of its kind to allow users to keep across the latest stories posted by their favourite websites without having to visit each one.
