For iOS I really like Reeder

For iOS folks, I can't recommend NetNewsWire more. I pair NNW on my phone and laptop with Fresh.RSS running on my raspberry pi for most of my news and blog feeds these days. HN nerds might remember that NNW is very fast, even by native macOS standards: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23286362 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23286362 If you're feeling fatigued by algorithmic nonsense these days, you should seriously give RSS a try.

  And if you're looking to move off of the Twitter app, NNW has a built-in tool to ingest Twitter timelines and searches (you still need to sign in to use Twitter's API).

  > fatigued by algorithmic nonsense Let's not participate in the corruption of the word "algorithm" here on HN, too. We wouldn't tolerate people saying "integral" when they mean "derivative", so we shouldn't tolerate this, either. We can afford to abstain from this sort of quick-and-easy but sloppy use of language as a shorthand for generic memetic outrage.

  +1 for this: the NetNewsWire Mac and iPhone combo, which syncs state using iCloud, is exactly the right feed reader solution for me. Just works.

If you're inclined to self-host (or can just run a Docker-compose anywhere on your network), MiniFlux is amazing.

  Agree. Been using it for a while now after.

Personally I use miniflux. Not app needed for iOS or otherwise. Its pretty nice. You can also host it wherever. https://miniflux.app/ https://miniflux.app/

I pay for Feedly. The big feature I love is that it will generate anonymous email addresses for newsletters that show up as just another feed.

I tried using a local-only RSS reader after ditching Feedly, but I found myself missing the ability to easily switch between devices. I ended up setting up a FreshRSS[0] instance which I've been quite happy with so far. It provides the Google Reader API, which is still supported by a lot of FOSS mobile RSS readers (I picked Readrops[1]).
