shame you can't get the binaries from F-Droid, or even directly from Github.
- If you're in the market for an Android RSS app, I've been using ReadYou recently and I'm very pleased with it. Available both from GitHub and F-Droid.
  
  I use Nextcloud for my RSS needs, so it's mostly just the default app from Nextcloud for me so far. I've had issues with ReadYou not recognizing a bunch of feeds when I tried to add more sources in the past, and when you straight up paste a website link, it wouldn't find existing feeds.
  
  I use it as a frontend for FreshRSS and it's great for that
  
  The only thing that's preventing me from use ReadYou is that it's still missing "Older first" reading order (and that's why I'm using Feeder).
  
  I have it and its great
  
  Thanks for the link! I think it'll replace Feeder for me
  
  Yes, this one is good too, very simple interface. I found it a bit tricky to find out where you import/export (but that could just have been me tapping randomly until something worked). I switched to Feeder when I got bored of ReadYou and now I guess it's Twine until another shiny thing comes along.
  
  Have they added support for FreshRSS ?
  
  Last time I checked they said they did, but they didn't.
  
  I tried ReadYou. Looks fine at first glance, however I removed it after few days. Terrible UX. There are so many small annoying things that I even did not report them to the developer as I usually do.
  
  Still looking for a replacement to Flym.
- Yeah they should put the binaries under release. But I think they didn't found a way to automate release with KMM.
- There is open GitHub issue for this
Is it local? No freshess or ttrss server sync?
- I think some sort of sync capabilities is almost a must have now a days. My impression is that only power users use RSS and they usually have several devices, at least a computer and a phone.
  
  Who doesn't have a dedicated toilet tablet for browsing RSS and registering poop quality, both very dependent on sync capabilities?
Thanks, it looks really nice and I'm always happy to try out a new RSS reader. As noodle said, it would be nice to be able to get it from F-Droid, I used the Aurora Store instead.
