One of the few RSS reader app with stunning UI.

    If you’re in the market for an Android RSS app, I’ve been using ReadYou recently and I’m very pleased with it. Available both from GitHub and F-Droid.

      I use Nextcloud for my RSS needs, so it’s mostly just the default app from Nextcloud for me so far. I’ve had issues with ReadYou not recognizing a bunch of feeds when I tried to add more sources in the past, and when you straight up paste a website link, it wouldn’t find existing feeds.

        Like the other person who replied to me, I just use it as a frontend for FreshRSS and it works fine for that. But now you kinda have me wondering why I never bothered checking out Nextcloud’s RSS, how do you like it?

          I run NC News. It’s in no way comparable to FreshRSS and have like only the official companion app for mobile use beyond the web interface.

          The main benefit is that it’s not another platform to run on one’s server. On my big server I’ve integrated two FreshRSS’s (one for text, one for video) into Nextcloud through iFrames, on my home hosted Raspberry I just wanted something simple that didn’t require reverse proxies and other advanced setup. Thus NC News.

        There used to be a couple but they didn’t seen to be too well maintained the last time I checked. But to be fair, it’s a niche implementation of what at this point is a niche internet tech.

      I use it as a frontend for FreshRSS and it’s great for that

      The only thing that’s preventing me from use ReadYou is that it’s still missing “Older first” reading order (and that’s why I’m using Feeder).

        Fair enough! Feeder is good too, and what I used before ReadYou. I usually just go to my unread articles, scroll all the down to the bottom and then scroll up from there.

      Have they added support for FreshRSS ?

      Last time I checked they said they did, but they didn’t.

      I tried ReadYou. Looks fine at first glance, however I removed it after few days. Terrible UX. There are so many small annoying things that I even did not report them to the developer as I usually do.

      Still looking for a replacement to Flym.
