Best WM10 RSS Readers
Hi Windows Central,
I use my phone (L1520 since release) heavily for reading. Though I use tons of news applications, one of the ways I keep track of a variety of sources is RSS Feeds. Currently, I use NextGen Reader which uses a Feedly backend. This is easily the most used application on my phone. I also use this on my W10 desktop.
I am extremely happy with the NextGen reader application, however, it has not seen an update in AGES. I was hoping that a Universal W10 application would have been out by now or that there would at least be some word from the developer. I haven't seen that happen yet.
I am on the lookout for a new RSS application. I have seen a few others such as "Phonly" and "Magnify News Reader" but all of these are missing key elements, unless I am mistaken.
My list of requirements for an RSS application are:
- Feedly support
- Built-in mobilizer (in NextGen, you can set certain feeds to acquire the "Full Article" and it uses a readibility mobilizer)
- Pocket Support ('Save to pocket')
- Offline caching
Currently, NextGen Reader is the only one I know of that has all these features. The most CRUCIAL feature is the built-in mobilizer. That is an absolute necessity for me since some of the feeds I follow will only give a brief description of the article, the rest of which has to be read on the website. The built-in mobilizer allows me to read within the application itself and it is a feature I simply cannot do without. Even the official Feedly iOS and Android applications DO NOT have built-in mobilizers and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is this feature, and this feature alone that has kept me on my Lumia 1520 for 2.5 years.
Since NextGen has not seen an update for a while, I am wondering if there were any other WM10 applications I should consider. Also, does anyone know of any Android applications with built-in mobilizers? I might switch, but I simply cannot do it without this feature. I know for a fact that the official Feedly apps on both iOS and Android do not have this.
Any suggestions?
