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.

    Another +1 for NetNewsWire. Its simple, ad-free, syncs over iCloud, can set an entire feed to reader mode (so convenient for certain feeds that only broadcast the headline), and its FOSS.

    The creators encourage supporting other FOSS devs and accept no donations to themselves or NNW.
