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.

    I’ve been a Feedbin user ever since Google Reader’s shutdown. It’s simple, it loads fast, and gets new features occasionally that I like. Does help that it looks nice af and not outdated too even after many years in.

    Reader wise, always Reeder. I don’t like it as much as the very earliest versions (I think it looks generic now especially on iPad), but I always felt like it was the best designed and the most reliable.

    A bit of a shame that it’s basically frozen in place feature wise. I remember double and triple dipping Reeder 3, 4 and now 5 and it’s barely changed since.
