Mobile news reader for Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler, FeedHQ, NewsBlur, The Old Reader, Inoreader, Minimal Reader, BazQux Reader, Fever and Readability. Don't want to use a third-party service? Reeder also supports local/standalone RSS (no sync).
Feedly and Reeder are both RSS readers that allow you to collect and read news from multiple sources. They work on mobile devices, support synchronization between devices, have a minimalist reader-interface with a focuse on content. Both services have a free version and make money on additional paid features.
But Feedly (released in 2008) is an American service that became the most popular RSS reader after the closure of Google Reader. It has a web interface and apps for Android and iPhone. It features more advanced fucntionality, including AI tools: news filters, multilingual search and automatic translation into 15 languages. Feedly has an API and ready-made integrations with a large number of services, such as Mastodon, Slack, Teams, etc.
Reeder (2011) is a Swiss application for iOS and Mac. It does not have a web version. But it has an interesting mode called “Bionic Reading” — a way of displaying text in which the first letters of words (or part of them) are highlighted in bold, creating so-called “fixation points.” The reader’s eye easily moves from one such point to another and the brain “completes” the rest of the word, allowing reading to be done faster and with less effort. Reeder can be purchased either by subscription ($10/year) or for one-time payment.
