Inoreader
Here’s another RSS reader and is great just like Feedly. Inoreader behaves like a reading service instead of only being an RSS reader. And that’s the way it is built. You begin by selecting sources you like, and Inoreader does the rest for you by populating the feed. While the interface is not that elegant, it is clean and feature-rich. Many RSS feeds don’t offer the full text and you can’t read the full text even after using tricks and hacks. This is different with Inoreader as all you just need to do is to swipe up, and the full text will be revealed. In conjunction with the finely tuned reading/sync settings and automation feature, you get a perfect app for your RSS geeky nature.
