Ask HN: What's the best RSS feed reader on Android?

It's been a long time since I've used an RSS feed reader. But everytime I try to get back to using it, I start by (re)installing Feedly, getting furstated by the lack of (what i believe are) key features. Try a bunch of other readers at random, getting fed up, and leave again.

This time, I'm determined not to let ignorance about good readers stop me.

Feedback on features certainly welcome

I have Feedly, Inoreader and The Old Reader on my phone. I like Feedly the best.

I don't know exactly what "key features" you want, but I use the Microflux app with a self-hosted Miniflux server (they also have hosted service) and it's good enough for my basic needs.

I too have very basic needs. It's just, iirc, there was some baseline feature that they overengineered in a way that was frustrating (to me).

I can't put my finger on it; this is the best I can remember.

So, yeah, Thanks for the recommendation! I'll give it a try asap, maybe this weekend ;)

What features are you looking for? Maybe I can add them to my reader (https://sumi.news).

Yes! I enjoy sumi so much; I've been using it almost daily since I found out about it the last week (or the one before, my memory isn't perfect).

And there's nothing wrong with the app, it's just that I can't pay for the premium features as my government restricts the usage of foreign currency for 'regular' folks like myself.

As for the Feedly features, again because memory, I don't remember what those were; the last time I tried the app was a couple of years ago. I just reinstalled it and if there's anything still 'wrong' with it, I'll let you know.

Email me and I will gift you an account. My contact info is in my profile.

Doesn't seem to be updated anymore, but i'm happy with flym from fdroid

What features are you lacking in Feedly?

To be honest with you, I totally forgot what they were. I just remember that I installed the app a few times over the years and every and each time I got frustrated and deleted it.

I just reinstalled the app yesterday and I'm recoloring it right now. For the time being things seem good. Maybe my pet peeves were fixed? I'll try to remember to report back my findings as soon as I spend enough time with the app.
