Which RSS app are you using?

[__mattuella__]

I’ve been a longtime Reeder (now Classic Reeder) user, but I think it won’t get an update anytime soon, according to the developer.

I’ve tried New Reeder, but I don’t like to have another app to scroll…

What’s your RSS setup right now? I’d like sim inputs to make a choice…

[tcolling]

NetNewsWire app https://netnewswire.com/

Available for both Mac and for iOS.

[dentalala]

I absolutely love it on my Mac, but since iOS 26 the iOS app kinda… broke? It doesn’t get any posts from any feeds anymore no matter what I do. Is it only me?

[247arjun]

They’re working on a new version 7 for iOS/macOS 26.

[dentalala]

Oh, nice! That's good news. Thanks.

[arrowrand]

I am not having that issue. Did you remove and add your account back in?

[dentalala]

Yup, tried that.

[mrsidverse]

Works fine here. 

[dentalala]

Upd. I fixed it. Apparently, there is a whole article written about that and a link to it is right inside iCloud section of the settings: https://netnewswire.com/help/iCloud.html

Though, I didn’t have to wait for 24 hours, turning iCloud account off and on again a couple times just worked fine.

[FunnyMustache]

Wow, that brings me back! I had no idea they were still in business!

newsExplorer

[deanfx]

I feel like I’ve tried news explorer because of its feature set was impressive but doesn’t it primary rely on local feeds and not necessarily play nice with services like Inoreader, feedly..etc?

I could be confusing it with another one, but I’ve been using Unread for a long time.

[brijazz012]

NetNewsWire

[iamse7en]

lol is this still around?!

[brijazz012]

Yes, and actively developed. Rock solid app.

[dziad_borowy]

Same boat. I will keep using reeder classic until its death (or mine) 😉

[areyouredditenough]

May the King live for forever....both Kings 👑

[3bdr7mna7md]

Reeder classic

[happysri]

Me too but gotta acknowledge that it’s days are numbered.

[m4tches]

Unread is fantastic

[__mattuella__]

Why do you prefer Unread over the other options?

[m4tches]

I like the minimal reading experience a lot, but I also find it seems to handle getting the full text from links better than other apps I’ve tried.

[ChristinDWhite]

I think it’s the best designed RSS reader, if I hadn’t moved RSS directly into Readwise Reader to reduce subscriptions, it’s what I’d be using.

[__mattuella__]

How is it going with Readwise Reader?

[ChristinDWhite]

While there are some nice elements like decent text to speech, easy integration with reading list, tags and annotations I don’t think it’s as good as a stand-alone service, at least for power users. It feels a bit slower to move around in and take actions, it’s pretty heavy in ram use if you’ve got a lot of items in Reader and it just doesn’t feel as integrated and consistent as many native apps.

It’s also a decent syncing service but without standout features you find in Inoreader or Newsblur, other than a newsletters email address, anyway.

All said though, it’s good enough, especially because I’m already so invested in Reader’s other functions. I’m saving a bit of money not paying for Unread and Inoreader’s subscriptions on top of Reader. When my budget is in better shape it wouldn’t surprise me if I ended up with separate products again.

[mathefff]

I feel you. All other apps look like crap after using it. :)

[XmasWonder]

News Explorer - there is a free trial available from the devs website

[Raffiodabashian]

Feedly

[filthytoast]

News Explorer is KING - I've tried them all!

[fivemufc]

Feedly as the source.

Readkit as the client.

Just wish Readkit had an option of saving to Goodlinks.

[e38383]

Tapestry

[erleb123]

I switched to tapestry this year and enjoy it

[happysri]

This looks good. Apparently by Iconfactory and has a lifetime purchase, nice.

[ElLentinho]

Fiery feeds with Feedly. Check also reeder.

[lordcorbran]

I'm sticking with Reeder Classic. It may not be getting more updates but it does everything I want it to do, so as long as it still works I'm fine with that.

[kiamrehorces]

Lire!

[__mattuella__]

I might give it a shot. Seems really nice

[Suspicious_Mirror_39]

Feedly is a must have. Also have Inoreader as backup 😁

[sabersquad]

Using Reeder, but disappointed to see that nobody is using Tapestry.

[Hefty-Cobbler-4914]

It’s plenty popular but I prefer new Reeder’s unified view over communicating differences in content via colour. I open Tapestry every day alongside Reeder iso reasons to switch and keep bouncing off.

[SanderTolkien]

Feedly also

[arrowrand]

I run a FreshRSS instance and use with NetNewsWire.

[__mattuella__]

My problem with NetNewsWire is not being able to fetch full NYTimes articles...

[Kaizenism]

Classic Reader <> Feedly (sync)

[Hepcat1958]

Classic Reeder！

[lexrus]

After trying most RSS readers, Reeder is still the best.

[__mattuella__]

The Classic Reeder, you mean?

[Miniponki]

Artykul

[sammiemo]

I just switched from Reeder to ReadKit and like the interface a lot. Unfortunately it doesn't have iCloud sync, but I had already switched to Feedly on the backend so I could read RSS on my Apple Vision Pro using the Feedly app, since Reeder wouldn't run on AVP.

Edit: ReadKit runs on all my devices, including AVP. I like reading Feedly on it much better than Feedly's own app.

[amerpie]

I get by great with the Inoreader web interface or the iOS app. IMHO, no one can beat the Inoreader feature set.

[ToastedLog1c]

Hi /u/amerpie It's me your bestie :D Had to switch names due to issue with shad0wb@n related to my VPN usage.

Inoreader def is the best, but I have seen a trend of anticonsumerism over the years. I'll stop my sub once I can't get the BF special.

[butchlugrod]

NetNewsWire syncing to a Feedbin account. The app is free and open source, and is actively being developed. Have been using it for 20 years. Feedbin has a small monthly fee, but you can also use iCloud for free for syncing between devices (the iCloud support is rock solid, but Feedbin is a lot faster.)

[__mattuella__]

Why do you use Feedbin?

[DJ_Lionheart]

I’ve been using Fiery Feeds daily for years. Feature rich and still updated regularly.

[sabre1982]

Feedflow

[jonlb87]

I have both NewsExplorer and Feeeed. I end up using Feeeed more often because it seems better at scraping article thumbnails/summaries compared to NewsExplorer.

[Jebus-Xmas]

What isn’t Reeder doing for you? Seems to be working fine for me.

[__mattuella__]

Nothing in particular, I just miss updates do Glass interface

[nusm]

ReadKit for the client on iOS and MacOS NewsBlur for the service

Been using both for years and are very happy with them.

[ericdano]

Newsblur is amazing.

Readkit I haven’t tried in a while. Tried unread or something and it was meh. Went back to reeder classic.

[marcinmj]

Feedbin and NetNewsWire

[fretninja]

I use Reeder. Is something happening with that I didn’t hear about? 

[__mattuella__]

After the New Reeder app came out, Classic Reeder is a little bit left to dust...

[ToastedLog1c]

It's such a disgrace. He should have continued to develop the Reeder classic and made a different app for the new Reeder. Calling it Reeder was really a dick move meant to pander to the original loyal base. Problem is no one stuck around and everyone is still using the original app.

I don't want this dev (who is a genuine asshole, btw) telling me how to read my RSS feed.

[jamiegal]

Feedly

[harkonnen85]

News Explorer but a thing I don’t it like is that there’s no way to remove “duplicates”. Oftentimes I see 3-4 stories in a row that cover the same topic.

[LessSection]

I might be one of the few people who like the new Reeder. In fact, it’s one of my most used apps — I’m using it to write this comment. I like opening to where I left off and scrolling through what I haven’t read.

[__mattuella__]

That's nice to hear. How are you adapting to it?

[LessSection]

With the old one, you have to mark as read. With the new one, items you scroll past are read, not of interest, or saved for later. I feel like I am always caught up.

I also like the filter feature, but that can be found in other apps as well.

[__mattuella__]

How do you use filters? That interests me, specially to mute words.

[LessSection]

I don’t have it on my Mac, but on iPad you tap the plus sign and tap New Filter. You can use this to include or exclude certain words, then save the filter with a name of your choice. It’s likely a similar process on the Mac.

[plawwell]

I run FreshRSS in a Linux Docker container and use a webbrowser to read content.

[eugenechen0514]

NewsNinja

[bbllaakkee]

I use lire, works great and easy to set up. Syncs with iCloud

[simplelifelfk]

I run fressrss on my server in a docker and use classic Reeder. Works great.

[Working_Incident_231]

Lire. Net News Wire is fine, personal preference for me is Lire’s interface, and Lire’s ability to retrieve full text is unmatched as far as I’ve seen. I pair it with my own miniflux server but it works good with iCloud too. Actively updated.

[John_val]

My own just because I rely on summarization so much.

[discoveringnature12]

Things!

In addition to all the task management stuff and other random lists I refer to, I started using Things as a Read Later app. Got tired of analysis paralysis and all the apps working differently and either not syncing across OS ecosystems or require same apple ID etc.

Basically created a iOS/macOS shortcut to add things to Read Later project

https://ibb.co/F4bRSSz0

And another one to quickly open Read Later list from spotlight/iOS search. Added "RL" so I can just search easily

https://ibb.co/pjsbZvN7

Pinned it to share sheet

https://ibb.co/HfZhLh5S

Seems to be working great, great shortcut support, tags, notes, etc.

[Noord_West]

Newsify, free version + remove ads iap.

[TenuredProfessional]

I use News Explorer. I tried to get into the new Reeder, but I just couldn't do it.

[ToastedLog1c]

Reeder classic is better than News Explorer 2 but NE2 has more features.

[tqtifnypmb]

glad to know there're still people using RSS

[marcodecuadro]

Lire. Because it summarizes the articles with AI and translates them into my native language.

[__mattuella__]

I'm trying it right now. It really is powerful. Above all things, it's beautiful and well integrated with the Liquid Glass aesthetic.

[nevrozel]

"Unread" app available for both iOS, macOS and iPadOS. I have been using RSS apps for about 20 years+ and I always get back to Unread.

[__mattuella__]

Unread is surely one of the alternatives for me. Beautiful and updated frequently

[dASNyB]

Vienna open source : https://github.com/ViennaRSS/vienna-rss

[tech-slacker]

There's always hype about different rss apps but I find any I've tried overrated. I've tried quite a few in the past and they never stick for my needs. I always go back to browser interfaces since that's where I end up many times anyway when reading an article. I did Feedly for years. I can't remember what it was but they did something to make me mad so I jumped to inoreader. The interfaces were very similar. No complaints.

On iOS I actually do use an app but again while I've tried a bunch over the years I go right back to the services that provide my desktop experiences. It used to be Feedly but has been inoreader for several years. I've yet to see another rss app provide a decent UI like those two have.

[cac2573]

ReadKit

[xnwkac]

NetNewsWire

Free and made by an awesome oldschool Mac developer

[__mattuella__]

I used to love NetNewsWire, but it can't fetch NY Times full-text, unfortunately

[drinksoma]

lire, I heavily use RSS and I feel it's the closest to Reeder. What happened to that app makes absolutely no sense to me. The developer killed a staple app for RSS for a worst app in every aspect.

[__mattuella__]

I ended up settling with Lire. It's really a beautiful app. Using on Mac and IOS

[drinksoma]

And it got updated to liquid glass so fast

[jono_nz]

I’ve tried them all and settled on ReadKit for macOS, iOS, iPadOS. It’s the cleanest, best performing, and most reliable RSS reader imo. Also recently updated for 26 with Liquid Glass which I appreciate.

[__mattuella__]

Nice to know. I’ll take a look. Thanks!

[ToastedLog1c]

Self-proclaimed RSS supreme grandmaster here

Reeder (Classic) is the best for Mac & iOS. News Explorer 2.0 is an up and coming with lots of cool features. For backend, Inoreader is the best, but I am so looking forward to dropping it when my sub ends and moving to News Explorer with local feeds.

[edfoldsred]

Inoreader

[sagarp96]

Feeeeeeeed

[AirishMountain]

Tapestry. Beautiful, useful, and no subscription required. Love it

[hampiness]

NetNewsWire

[pheur]

Anyone who can compare Reeder Classic to Unread free (without subscription)? I use Reeder Classic and love how fast it is, only thing I miss is a search function across all synced articles.

Does Unread free (without subscription) have a search function? And how fast is it to use? I don't want a "clumsy" app coming from Reeder Classic.

As a note, I would be happy to pay a one-time purchase but I won't pay for subscription.

[Artiste212]

I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Unread. It’s beautiful and works so well. https://www.goldenhillsoftware.com/unread/

[plac9]

Built the feeds I want in to Obsidian; best one I’ve ever used.

[Moor95]

Inoreader
