So, I’m using Reeder Classic on iPhone. However, I can’t use it on my PC and it seems the developer has fully abandoned the Classic version and barely updates his newest ReederPlus app (which misses a lot of features I like).
So I’m searching for a new RSS. I was looking on InoReader but it’s a bit expensive (either €80/yearly or €8,99/monthly) and it seems that many old users are not fond of InoReader’s decision making.
What are you using?
I self-host Miniflux and just access that through a browser/as a PWA. Simple and works well
I’ve been using NewsBlur since I read Cory Doctorow’s piece about RSS readers: https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/16/keep-it-really-simple-stupid/
It works fine, and I’m just on the free tier.
For what device? InoReader is nice and probably worth the price but I’m poor so I use NewsFlash on Linux.
Mainly for iPhone/ IOS but if it is possible to have it synch with Windows (PC) that would be a major advantage.
I’ve been using feeder forever, its paid but it syncs between the phone app and browser extension
I prefer this Feeder: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/
On my personal computer I ended up using a terminal RSS reader (Newsboat) because the RSS software I tried before either rendered poorly or slowly and I would always end up reading the article in my browser. At least I can get through the feed fast. It also does podcasts and I set it up to deal with my YouTube subscriptions too.
On my Android phone I use Capy Reader.
There is no syncing between the devices.
Like lots of folks post-Google Reader I tried a number of online and syncable readers, like Feedly. It turns out it isn’t a big deal of things aren’t synced.
Newsflash (Linux) -> syncing with Nextcloud News. And then NextNews on ios.
I use the Smart RSS extension for Firefox. I like FOSS for this because I require next to no features for an RSS aggregator. It’s not maintained anymore and I’m sure there’s something better out there but I haven’t been bothered enough to look.
I’m using News Explorer on all my Apple devices. It syncs my feeds and the read/unread states. And even supports a separate view for comments for many blogs.
I use Thunderbirds built-in RSS reader.
I use NetNewsWire and feeeed. NetNewsWire is a good traditional RSS reader, and feeed for when I want something more akin to a personalized “newspaper” than just a straight feed.
I ended up using Readkit; started with Reeder, moved to Feedly and then Readkit. I cannot remember the cost but it was a one-off at the time I joined the service. I found it to work well for me.
