Anyone have recommendations for an RSS Reader for Android? Specifically, I'm looking for one that:

- doesn't have advertisements or tracking

- doesn't require an account

And I am definitely willing to pay for it.

View on HN

I used to run a no-account feed reader on my laptop, but realized it's a mistake -- because it can only update when it's on, and if you're e.g. away for a week without connectivity (highly recommended!) you can't get the updates back -- some of the feeds I follow average 20 posts/day, but only publish the recent 100 on RSS.

I switched to an always-on server app (NewsBlur paid service, which has a no-ad app for iOS, and which I highly recommend, and I assume the Android version is good as well) - but it does require an account (you can self host; I was too lazy)

I'm reading this thread though feeder as I type. Big fan

Does HN do RSS subscriptions?

It does. I think I just googled for it and a look came up.

hnrss.org - it’s amazing

It does what is says on the tin, pulls content from the OP link. Links to HN comments too.

Yep that’s what I use to read HN

I host my Tiny Tiny RSS Reader and use this on Android:

You can try my app Plenary - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spians.ple... which perfectly suits your needs. It doesn't have ads or tracking and doesn't require an account. Plenary is combination of RSS reader and offline article downloader with built-in support for podcasts. Check it out and let me know if it works for you!

Innoreader -- the full web app and the Android app are both great

I personally love FeedMe. I have tried so many, and its the only one that has a pleasant UI, tons of features and free. I would pay for it if it wasn't free. No ads.

I use Podcast Addict on my [Android] tablet and Smartphone. Free with ads, cheap for no ads.

RSS for whatever you want: podcasts, comedian tour schedules, webcomics.

Flym has no ads, no account and is free.

Been using News+ for years, with the Bazqux Reader plugin to sync to Bazqux.

If you want to read tech blogs feeds, I run [1] to aggregate and present tech RSS feeds from many many tech blogs. Check out the tag cloud there to quickly read through major news of the day.
