Feedly

Feedly’s interface is well designed, which makes it easy tornnavigate through a feed. If you create a Feedly account (it allows you to log in viarnGoogle, Facebook, or Twitter), managing your feeds becomes even easier. Fromrnthe web interface, you can get really granular with your feeds and evenrnintegrate Feedly with IFTTT (although that requires a Pro account).

RSS Reader

The RSS Reader interface is basic. It doesn’t displayrnimages, but it does include ads.

Palabre Feedly RSS

The one thing you can’t do is add your own RSS feeds viarnURL. For anyone who depends upon specific feeds, this will be a deal breaker.rnBut for those who prefer getting their RSS news from feed collections, Palabrernis an outstanding choice. This app is free, but it does offer in-app purchases.

Inoreader

Another outstanding RSS feed curator is Inoreader. You do have to sign in with Google,rnFacebook, or Twitter, but once you do, Inoreader makes collecting newsfeeds arnno-brainer. You can sort through the collection of categories, tap a category,rnand then select the feeds you want.

Inoreader

Although it’s not terribly obvious, you can subscribe to arnfeed via URL by opening the sidebar, tapping the + button, tapping the searchrnbutton, tapping the downward-pointing arrow (in the upper-right corner),rnentering the feed URL, and then tapping SUBSCRIBE.

Aggregator

One notable feature is Entry rules, whichrnenables you to create rules for individual feeds, such as excluding/includingrnentries by title or by content. This means you can set up basic filters forrnevery feed you add to the app.
