When I got the news about Google Reader being discontinued I tested around 4 alternatives.

Having tried NewsBlur I thought the web UI was perfect for my style of RSS reading and it was fast enough for my needs. The Android app is the icing on the cake.

I paid 36 bucks, the extra, to support a product that I use every single day for more than 10 hours a day, a product I enjoy using and would contribute if I had the knowledge or time.

Thank you very much Samuel, you are doing a very fine job and I am more than happy in helping the only way I can/know right now.

NOTE: I am not affiliated to NewsBlur or Samuel Clay in any way. Just a very happy customer here.
