I like Newsify. iCloud sync, no nonsense, free with minor paid upgrade I didn’t need but paid to support the developer.
I you don't like fancy magazine-like layouts, you can try https://aktu.io, it's a rss reader+news aggregator i built.
Would love some feedback!
I like Fiery Feeds after trying everything else. (Unread was the best option I'd found before that.)
I used to use Pulse, but it was bought by LinkedIn and completely messed up after that. Then I switched to using Apple News to follow some sites. But News is not a proper RSS reader as such, and Apple has done little to improve it since it was released with iOS 9 — still supported and available only in a few countries, cannot add RSS feeds, cannot find certain sites through a search, and very weird bugs if one switches the region setting. It's basically abandonware, as far as feature richness and expansion are concerned. Three years on, I still don't understand why the app cannot be available worldwide and work as a feed reader too.
I've tried Flipboard, but I don't like the fancy magazine-like layout and navigation (which I find unintuitive).
