I still perfer the TT-RSS, now on github without Fox (The dev most people had issues with).

The android app isn't maintained at the moment but it's still one of the best rss apps I have ever used

I can confirm the TT-RSS app (found on F-Droid) is very good. I have used it for years. On the other hand, the web app is not very good, and each time I wanted to read articles on my computer from the web interface, I encountered huge issues (for some reason, the "right click / mark as read" never correctly worked on my computers, or at least with huge lags of several seconds). When my free TT-RSS provider closed, I decided to switch to FreshRSS and could compare several apps for Android; I finally set up the following workflow: free FreshRSS account + "Read You" (found on F-Droid also), and managed to achieve a very similar workflow than previously (with a much better web app).

Could have been due to using a free hosting provider for TT-RSS. I self-host it and have done so for almost a decade with very few issues.

That said as always with software your mileage may vary.

The Read you app looks promising, if a bit different workflow wise. I'll give it a shot with the Fresh API plugin. Thanks!

Love TT-RSS to bits and pieces, I dont know how people use rss readers that have zero level of filtering. Being able to invoke custom plugins to action on certain hits is just the cherry on top for me.

That said I use a healthy dose of custom css for it on computer, and access it via netnewswire on mobile. Cant speak for any the official apps but at least you can get TT-RSS to speak just about every flavour of RSS API.
