I use Inoreader, the closest I could find to Google Reader, it has all I would need for an RSS reader and way more, I don't know how good their apps are because the web version is just great in desktop and mobile browsers.<p>- <a href="https://www.inoreader.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.inoreader.com/</a>
Another vote for Feedly here. I like the interface, it's pretty simple and I don't need much (nor want more). I'm on the free plan. I can get my feeds from any of my devices, which is important to me. The iOS apps for my phone and ipad work great. That's really all I need.
I've been using RSS-to-email since forever. I now run my own RSS-to-email service.<p>I filter (almost all) of them into folders that don't notify and then they are there ready to read across all of my devices that are logged into my email.<p>I find that email clients are quite suited to RSS reading. They have folders, searching, filtering and unread/read/deleted tracking that is synced cross-device. And for the few feeds that I want to be "urgent" it is easy to send them to my inbox.<p>I have written about my workflow in the past:<p><a href="https://kevincox.ca/2013/06/27/email-as-rss-reader/" rel="nofollow">https://kevincox.ca/2013/06/27/email-as-rss-reader/</a><p><a href="https://kevincox.ca/2023/06/27/decade-of-rss-via-email/" rel="nofollow">https://kevincox.ca/2023/06/27/decade-of-rss-via-email/</a>
I run an instance of FreshRSS [0] and access it from a browser, but I also use NetNewsWire [1] as a client on platforms where it is available.<p>[0] <a href="https://freshrss.org/" rel="nofollow">https://freshrss.org/</a><p>[1] <a href="https://netnewswire.com/" rel="nofollow">https://netnewswire.com/</a>
I self-host FreshRSS. I prefer the feeds to be pulled from a server rather than locally from a browser. This lets me check out news feeds from work without worrying about my computer pinging websites IT doesn't like.
Feedly [0] (web app and on IOS) has been amazing since Google Reader died. On IOS it makes flipping through items and saving them for later a smooth and relatively fast experience.<p>[0] <a href="https://feedly.com" rel="nofollow">https://feedly.com</a>
Self-hosted miniflux (golang based). Very minimalist, I used to miss a phone app for it but the mobile webpage is good enough for me.<p>I turned to it when the tiny tiny reader maintainer turned out to be a huge p*ck. Wasn't just me, others confirmed.<p>Think I am using miniflux for 6-7 years now
Self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS works well, supporting OPML import/export, mobile clients, and a Reader-like theme. <a href="https://tt-rss.org" rel="nofollow">https://tt-rss.org</a>
NewsBlur so I could have everything (articles that are read, saved ...) synced between my laptop and smartphone.<p><a href="https://www.newsblur.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.newsblur.com</a>
On Android, Handy News Reader from the f-droid.org app store works well, once I went through all the settings and customized it, and got used to it. Except now it doesn't auto-fetch (it used to) and I don't know if I did something wrong, but manually fetching new stories isn't bad.
It is a local reader -- no account required, no server storage, but stores everything on the phone.<p>I've also used NewsBlur which I would probably like more if I paid. One thing about Handy News Reader is there is a way to see the URLs of existing feeds, which I have not found how to do in NewsBlur.<p>A previous discussion from 2020: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24658424">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24658424</a><p>And from 2022: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34108413">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34108413</a><p>I haven't tried any of the others in comments here, so can't make comparisons; that might be interesting.
I use Feedly. It’s a very good app but the company is making some bizarre decisions to try and turn it into an “intelligence platform”. Like lots of weird/useless AI generated summaries that all seem to be related to the financial implications of the article. You can turn most of them off but it’s a worrying trend in general.
There's also Lighthouse (<a href="https://lighthouseapp.io/" rel="nofollow">https://lighthouseapp.io/</a>). Compared to typical RSS readers it organizes content into Inbox and Library. Where new content lands in the inbox, where you can sort through it and add content you're interested in to the library.
So it's basically a combination of feed reader and read-it-later app.
NetNewsWire is great, but iOS/iPad/Mac only. It syncs between devices using iCloud, so without a Feedly etc. account. That feature seems to be pretty rare.
Feedly's web app is awesome. I usually use the web version on iPad.<p>The main problem with RSS apps these days is they respect the article summary and do not render the full article in the app, so you have to read in the in-app browser or default browser. The (iOS) in-app browser doesn't have extensions or dark mode, so<p>Alternatively, everyone wants you to visit their site so only publish their RSS with a summary.

I use a self hosted instance of tiny tiny rss (tt-rss) for subscriptions and Omnivore for reading.
Omnivore is open source with no data collection.
The iOS app is very good with integration for saving items from the firefox web browser.
The web app works well on the Linux desktop with the Firefox addon for saving articles.
Newsboat<p>By a mile. The command line doesn't really bother me, and the killer feature is being able to hook it into my crontab, so it acts like Google Reader (without the social features), but it's completely local to my machine.<p>I honestly don't want to rely on another service again if I can help it, and this tool really scratches that itch.
I didn't get on with miniflux so I've been using Feeder for Android the past year or so and really like it. I also use Newsboat on desktop which is great but gets used less as I tend to consume feeds on mobile it seems.
RSS Guard. FOSS, cross platform with mpv integration. lite is the plain text only version.<p><a href="https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/">https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/</a>
It's not longer Feedly, since they introduced that distracting flashing green "AI summary" button. Even disabling all the things it should be doing in the Settings, it still shows.

I am happily using Vienna (<a href="https://www.vienna-rss.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.vienna-rss.com/</a>) for about a decade, but it is Mac only.
Fluent Reader is a nice FOSS reader

Since Google died I've been using selfoss. I haven't / hadn't been able to find the social features, and selfoss was just straightforward and solid.
Mozilla Thunderbird <a href="https://www.thunderbird.net" rel="nofollow">https://www.thunderbird.net</a>, It's a good E-mail and RSS reader
Im using next cloud news(server and android app). It has a small bug with invisible text and some setting are forgotten over time, but else it is good enough,
ttrss (<a href="https://tt-rss.org/" rel="nofollow">https://tt-rss.org/</a>) self hosted.<p>When Google Reader shut down I switch to feedly for a bit, don't remember now why but for some reason I didn't like it. So I started self hosting my own instance of ttrss and haven't looked back since.
ntfy.sh<p>I run the server on a RP4. It pushes the latest article/podcast to my phone via a cronjob running every 60 seconds. Each feed has its own channel. I also throw it into a postgres db on the same RP4 for posterity.
Inoreader (pro?) hands down.<p>I've been subscribed for probably 6+ years now. I've tried various others but this has the mix of power user and design. Great filters, newsletter sign ups, can get around most paywall.
Another vote for self-hosted [miniflux](<a href="https://miniflux.app/" rel="nofollow">https://miniflux.app/</a>) - and I use [focusreader](<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=allen.town.focus.reader">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=allen.town.foc...</a>) on my phone to read from it.
