Anyone have recommendations for an RSS Reader for Android? Specifically, I'm looking for one that: - doesn't have advertisements or tracking - doesn't require an account And I am definitely willing to pay for it.

    Does HN do RSS subscriptions?
    - pochamago 6y ago
      It does. I think I just googled for it and a look came up.

        https://damng.github.io/hackernews-rss-with-inlined-content/output.rss https://damng.github.io/hackernews-rss-with-inlined-content/... It does what is says on the tin, pulls content from the OP link. Links to HN comments too.

I use Podcast Addict on my [Android] tablet and Smartphone. Free with ads, cheap for no ads. RSS for whatever you want: podcasts, comedian tour schedules, webcomics.

I personally love FeedMe. I have tried so many, and its the only one that has a pleasant UI, tons of features and free. I would pay for it if it wasn't free. No ads.

I used to run a no-account feed reader on my laptop, but realized it's a mistake -- because it can only update when it's on, and if you're e.g. away for a week without connectivity (highly recommended!) you can't get the updates back -- some of the feeds I follow average 20 posts/day, but only publish the recent 100 on RSS. I switched to an always-on server app (NewsBlur paid service, which has a no-ad app for iOS, and which I highly recommend, and I assume the Android version is good as well) - but it does require an account (you can self host; I was too lazy)
