Yes, Reeder with Feedly as the backend. It's quite good.

Reeder here too. I use Feed Wrangler for my backend.

Yup, I used to use Google Reader, but switched to https://newsblur.com/ The app is fast and polished, and the dev is very responsive. https://twitter.com/NewsBlur (Hi conesus!)

I'm also a happy NewsBlur premium user, and RSS is the only way I could keep up with all the blogs I follow. In fact, I'm reading HN via its RSS feed right now...

I use https://github.com/rcarmo/rss2imap with a dedicated GMail account. I read my news on any desktop or mobile with a choice of clients (GMail on Android or web works great, although I usually end up reading most of it on iOS or Apple Mail).

Well for me it's complicated. I use mainly Twitter, G+ or Facebook for news. I find them to suit my needs almost perfectly. Twitter while at work pause to quick check news, G+/Facebook later at home. The downsides is that i got distracted or sometimes i see posts from friends which i don't have a mood/will to see. Besides this Feedly, but Digg is also cool.

I've created my own https://github.com/johndel/freeze but this one isn't the last version (too lazy to push it as far as I am the only one using it. I have a private repo also). I feel more comfortable to host my own solution and add custom feature that I want.

Currently I use Digg.com´s reader (http://digg.com/reader) as it´s the closest I´ve found to Google Reader. I am a bit of an RSS addict and spend quite a bit of time daily reading through my RSS feeds. I have over a 100 feeds in my reader.

The best combo I found.

I use http://flowreader.com/ as my main RSS reader (because I'm part of the team). There's also the option to connect your Facebook news feed and Twitter timeline.

Other great options: http://theoldreader.com/ and http://feedly.com/
