Some people like Feedly, but I've always strongly disliked it for reasons I'll get into only if someone wants. (Some of them may not even be current, I haven't really checked the ecosystem since the year Google Reader died.)
For those looking for something closer to the original Google Reader experience with a few extra (and very nice!) features, I would suggest Inoreader, which is what I've been using for many years now. It uses a Freemium model, rather than forcing everyone into an ad-based "free" version.
- StavrosK 7y agoI also hated Feedly, whose cardinal sin seemed to be that it's not Google Reader. Nowadays I use Newsblur, which is close enough to Google Reader, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
- bscphil 7y agoNewsblur was one of two others that I gave a go after the Google Reader demise (also TheOldReader). While I liked it okay, I ended up preferring T.O.R. (and then Inoreader) to it because the interface (at the time) was very messy and they had scaling problems with the deluge of new users at the time. Any of the three were better feed readers than Feedly, which seemed closer to a Google News clone (or more recently, Mozilla's Pocket) that happened to have support for RSS feeds.
