Our take
Feeder is the easy Android pick for RSS: open source, on F-Droid, and built to read feeds directly on your device without an account or a sync service watching what you read. It is Android-only and deliberately simple, so do not come expecting cross-platform sync or a feature-stuffed power-user reader. For an Android user who wants a private, no-account feed reader and nothing more, it does exactly that job well.
