Comments on SmartRSS: RSS Reader & Podcast for Android

★★★★★ Ishe Chinyoka · Jan 23, 2026
The right feed reader for the 21st century, this is all what sums up the usefulness of this great app. Other than being accessible, the app saved me a lot of time with its AI AGGREGATION feature: it just summarizes all the articles in the pane. Its ability to fetch content for offline reading, the ability to group feeds and the full-text sharing has made it my premium news app on my phone.
★★★★★ Tamanna Amin · Feb 2, 2026
Truly the best app. All the other rss feeds including feebly and KOReader aren't as smooth and eye pleasing as this while having the same functionalities. This app lacks literally nothing. App is underrated af.
★★★★★ Paxon Fischer · Jun 9, 2026
This app is amazing for what it is. Could be a bit better if the scrolling didn't feel so sensitive and the swipe actions on the list view was easier to use. I find myself using Capy Reader when I really want to read something and Smart RSS when I need to summarize and trim down my unread articles.
★★★★★ Shivaram Selvam · Jun 27, 2026
Promising RSS reader but full content parsing of articles is not available on certain websites. It will be nice if articles from those websites automatically open in internal or external browser, if full content parsing is not possible. e.g. Would be certain articles from Drudge report, IFL Science, etc. Also, images are not getting pulled quickly from Fresh RSS feeds.
★★☆☆☆ Mateusz Sip · Jan 21, 2026
App won't let you connect your remote rss server without paying, there's no trial or option to pay a small amount for a short-time access. Just one lifetime payment.
