If you don’t have a PC or tablet and want to keep yourself updated with the stories published on sites you like, use the free RSS Reader app from Svyatoslav Vasiliev. Whether it’s the Android or iOS operating system, Feedly is the best RSS reader app.įeedly and Inoreader require account registration, and they don’t save the RSS feeds for offline reading, but they are cross-platform applications. Feedly allows you to see the list of most popular news sources. The app lets you change the interface theme from light to dark. You can share stories on 10+ platforms with it. It can open the website page where the story appears.įeedly allows you to view stories in four modes – magazine, title, cards, and list. Feedly includes a search box with which you can see the stories published on your favorite sites by simply entering the website name and tapping the search icon. ![]() Unlike the web version of Feedly, account registration is not necessary to read the news in Feedly. The app has an option to categorize the feed into various groups. With Feedly, users can subscribe to the RSS feed of their favorite websites. It has 5 million users and an excellent rating of 4.5. Reeder is not as good, but is comfortable enough for me.Feedly is the most popular newsreader app on Play Store and iTunes. Sadly, they switched from one-time payment to monthly subscription and I can't justify the cost when I only use it in a very light way(just for sorting items). All the gestures optimized for single-hand operations are just fantastic. If I ever need to click a link in an article, jumping from a reader software to a browser is too big of a context switch that disrupts my flow - just let me go through all the feeds right now, and I will decide how to prioritize the most interesting ones and allocate my reading time later.įor my use cases, Unread on iOS gave me the best experience. Ad-blocking - given the current popularity of RSS, I don't know if it really makes sense financially for websites to do so, but I notice some feeds do inject ads. Some personal blog sites have very beautiful (or interesting) designs that I find myself actually enjoys poking around. e.g.: Project release notes on GitHub, which usually come with links to PRs, commits.etc, so I need to open several browser tabs to consume the content anyways. Some feeds are just better to be read in a web browser. Some feeds only provide title/summary and not the full text article (yes, I know there are full-text extraction service, but last time I tried them, none of them was perfect, and I don't want to play the guessing game - "Am I reading the full article, or a broken extraction?") Instead, I only use a RSS reader software to quickly go through all the unread items and send interesting articles to a read-later or bookmark service. Not sure if it's just me, but I have not used a RSS reader as a serious reading software for years. ![]()
