Back in the olden times, I was an avid user of Google Reader. I had dozens of RSS feeds and went through my feeds religiously. When Reader was killed I jumped to Feedly, and while it was alright for a while I just couldn’t get into it and eventually fell off and found Reddit.

Well, it’s been around a decade and I’m interested in jumping back into RSS. I’ve seen a lot of suggestions, but right now Reeder and News Explorer are the two I’m looking at. Ideally I’m looking for one that can at least sync between macOS, iPadOS, and iOS; but watchOS would be a an excellent bonus (and tvOS is ludicrous, but News Explorer supports it, so sure?).

Do you use an RSS reader anymore? What do you use or recommend, and why? I’d love to know.

I use Inoreader though I don’t have any experience with using it in an Apple ecosystem. And if you want yet another alternative look at The Old Reader.

It still works for Reddit post-API change. Just add .rss to the sub you want to read and it’ll pull it in as an RSS feed.

How long will that keep working remains to be seen.

I have set TinyTinyRSS to a web server. There, with fever plug-in I use it to read feeds in Apple-devices with Reeder. This also allows me to use various apps in Windows and Android devices, whenever I feel like it.

That’s an interesting choice. Is there a reason you went with that instead of a more traditional reader?

NetNewsWire with Feedly

My choice too. I used Feedly mixed with Reeder for a while but after a while didn’t want to use Feedly anymore, so just using the feeds directly inside of NetNewsWire. The only thing I wish it had was a mute filter feature. Sometimes I want to filter words to avoid spoilers if a movie/game/whatever is coming out soon. Haven’t found a great looking RSS app with a mute filter feature without a subscription. I’m happy to pay for an app if it has what I want, but I’m not interested in a subscription.

Note that it deletes posts older than 30 days. This came as a surprise to me and was not a nice thing to notice.

I use inoreader https://www.inoreader.com. Pretty happy with it.

I came here to say Reeder because it’s the absolute best on Apple platforms, as it syncs with iCloud hence doesn’t rely on third party services.

I use it too on Android, but it’s a shame that they add ads to the RSS feed when used in a third party app (such as Reeder 5, which I like to use on my Mac). So I’m kind of stuck between using Feedly for syncing with third party apps and using Inoreader for their superior mobile app.
