by far best RSS reader app. fast, simple and I have never had a single problem.

Pretty good reader. The only one that allows me to share the actual article, not just a link. What is missing is the ability to include images when sharing an article, and the ability to "Share with notes" on Google Reader.

Excellent reader, top notch design and functionality. However, in regards to GReader syncing, the client doesn't correctly update starring status (if you destarred it via your pc, after next sync the item will appear starred in FeedR)

My personal favorite. Many of these do the same thing essentially, which UI do you prefer is the only question. I like this one, I like the option to mobile the full web page through google when you have a low signal and it's a graphic heavy page.

VERY nice RSS app. Way better than the free ones like gReader. Nice dark UI that won't kill your battery. Includes a great widget that has a lot of config options. Worth the $$!

Mediocre and Too Little Although it's great to be able to search and add many feeds, it's unacceptable that the feeds are only a headline. I need feeds that download the whole story, for use offline. I already have a good one (newsrob) but was looking for a good RSS reader - I don't mind paying for useful software but this was a waste.

Abandoned? Not so great anymore. No new updates in a long time and hitting the back arrow in ics sometimes gets this app acting crazy

Looking again... I like it, and it was the best I could find, but I am looking again. I'd like for it to have the option to hide read posts...and it is constantly reporting new posts when there are none or the wrong number of new posts.

Excellent RSS app! Updates or not its excellent. Doesn't really need updates as everything works, doesn't need to become bloated. Simple to use, lots of features and its easy on the battery. Love it! Been using it for 2 years.
