Google reader

For all those that are holding their RSS feeds in Google Reader there is this great and simple app created by Google that puts your feeds in the palm of your hand. It uses your own Google account linked to your phone (you may add more accounts if you like) and does exactly what it’s web counterpart can, but with an obviously lighter interface. And it is ad-free.

The main screen displays the subscriptions and can be customized to show favicons, unread counts or updated subscriptions. Navigation is easy: the articles may be read sequentially with the help of two buttons (next and previous) or by setting up the volume buttons to take these roles.

Subscribing

The subscribe screen which may be accessed through the menu is quite complex. It features 3 tabs that allow you to searh through a multitude of feeds, social network accounts or just to browse the available ones gruped into categories.
