Unread for iOS. I think it has the smoothest UI of any mobile feed reader.

I use Inoreader, the closest I could find to Google Reader, it has all I would need for an RSS reader and way more, I don't know how good their apps are because the web version is just great in desktop and mobile browsers. - https://www.inoreader.com/

I'm using it basically since Google Reader died. It's reliable and has everything I want. Its one of the few apps I am happily paying for. They often have Black Friday deals, if you want to save a little.

I've been using RSS-to-email since forever. I now run my own RSS-to-email service. I filter (almost all) of them into folders that don't notify and then they are there ready to read across all of my devices that are logged into my email. I find that email clients are quite suited to RSS reading. They have folders, searching, filtering and unread/read/deleted tracking that is synced cross-device. And for the few feeds…

Funnily enough, I've recently been looking at email-to-RSS to clear some newsletters out of my inbox :-)

I know. Everyone is different and there is nothing wrong with that. I don't think RSS-to-email is for everyone. And I definitely don't have (most) feeds going to my inbox. That would be far too much. The vast majority of my feeds go to a "Not Important" folder.

I also find it interesting that running an RSS-to-Email service I have noticed that we both fetch feeds from and send mail to kill-the-newsletter.com. I would be curious to know what their use cases are.

Newsboat

By a mile. The command line doesn't really bother me, and the killer feature is being able to hook it into my crontab, so it acts like Google Reader (without the social features), but it's completely local to my machine.

I honestly don't want to rely on another service again if I can help it, and this tool really scratches that itch.

Another vote for self-hosted [miniflux](https://miniflux.app/) - and I use [focusreader](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=allen.town.foc...) on my phone to read from it.

Love inoreader. It also lets you sub to facebook pages, newsletters, reddit feeds and telegram channels.

I didn't get on with miniflux so I've been using Feeder for Android the past year or so and really like it. I also use Newsboat on desktop which is great but gets used less as I tend to consume feeds on mobile it seems.
