Are you keeping up with a ton of websites and online content? Maybe they’re packed in your bookmarks bar, or maybe you have each web address at the forefront of your mind. Either way, RSS feeds are the way to go, allowing you to compile all of your favorite online content into one, organized place.

That’s why we’re introducing you to the best RSS feed readers for Android—so you can read all of your favorite content in a cinch.
There are some important features to look out for in an RSS reader. One of the most important aspects, I believe, is that it needs to be designed well. This allows you to read all of your favorite content in manageable chunks while not feeling too overwhelmed. Another important aspect is being able to get to your content quickly without having to jump through hoops or too many menus. And of course, it’s always a good thing when an RSS readers offers a level of customization, allowing you to add a little personalization to your reading!
