What’s Your Favorite News Reader?

I subscribe to TOO MANY newsletters! I’ve been considering using a news reader. But boy, there are a TON to chose from and tons of options each, free/ads, pay/subscription, mobile or not, does it work across all platforms? I would like one that works across all platforms. So what’s your favorite news reader? Thanks in advance?

    <p>I use Feedly.com as my RSS reader. That's it.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#586739">In reply to wright_is:</a></em></blockquote><p>Feedly is the first one I've been checking out. I like the UI of it and it's cross platform which is great. Are there any annoyances that you have with it? I mean sometimes things come up when we use something daily that review sites never catch, just curious.</p>

        <blockquote><em><a href="#586748">In reply to j5:</a></em></blockquote><p>The free tier only allows a small number of feeds. But I only use 3 sources at the moment anyway, so the paid tier isn't necessary for me. It lists the odd ad as the 3rd item in the list, I can live with that.</p>

          <blockquote><em><a href="#586764">In reply to wright_is:</a></em></blockquote><p>Ok those are good things to know. Yeah can't complain about ads when you're using a service, the devs need to make a living after all.</p>

    <p>I've been using The Old Reader since Google killed Google Reader. It is/was meant to be a direct replacement with a similar look/feel. Not sure I "like/love" it per se, but it works and I do use it every single day.</p><p><br></p><p>https://theoldreader.com/</p&gt;
