Feeder is a great GPL RSS reader for Android. Save you some time fumbling through the Google Play cess pool. Not affiliated just a happy user.

For iOS folks, I can't recommend NetNewsWire more. I pair NNW on my phone and laptop with Fresh.RSS running on my raspberry pi for most of my news and blog feeds these days.

HN nerds might remember that NNW is very fast, even by native macOS standards: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23286362

If you're feeling fatigued by algorithmic nonsense these days, you should seriously give RSS a try.


> fatigued by algorithmic nonsense

Let's not participate in the corruption of the word "algorithm" here on HN, too. We wouldn't tolerate people saying "integral" when they mean "derivative", so we shouldn't tolerate this, either. We can afford to abstain from this sort of quick-and-easy but sloppy use of language as a shorthand for generic memetic outrage.


And if you're looking to move off of the Twitter app, NNW has a built-in tool to ingest Twitter timelines and searches (you still need to sign in to use Twitter's API).


+1 for this: the NetNewsWire Mac and iPhone combo, which syncs state using iCloud, is exactly the right feed reader solution for me. Just works.


If you're inclined to self-host (or can just run a Docker-compose anywhere on your network), MiniFlux is amazing.


Agree. Been using it for a while now after.


I tried using a local-only RSS reader after ditching Feedly, but I found myself missing the ability to easily switch between devices.

I ended up setting up a FreshRSS[0] instance which I've been quite happy with so far. It provides the Google Reader API, which is still supported by a lot of FOSS mobile RSS readers (I picked Readrops[1]).

For iOS I really like Reeder


Personally I use miniflux. Not app needed for iOS or otherwise. Its pretty nice. You can also host it wherever.

I pay for Feedly. The big feature I love is that it will generate anonymous email addresses for newsletters that show up as just another feed.


Me too, one of the first things I install on a new phone,after fdroid of course.
