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.
Like the other person who replied to me, I just use it as a frontend for FreshRSS and it works fine for that. But now you kinda have me wondering why I never bothered checking out Nextcloud's RSS, how do you like it?
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).
Fair enough! Feeder is good too, and what I used before ReadYou. I usually just go to my unread articles, scroll all the down to the bottom and then scroll up from there.
I use it as a frontend for FreshRSS and it's great for that
I have it and its great
Thanks for the link! I think it'll replace Feeder for me
Have they added support for FreshRSS ?
Last time I checked they said they did, but they didn't.
I use it as a frontend for FreshRSS, works great!
Thanks, I'll check it out!
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.
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.
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
