I've been looking for an RSS aggregator for my new Dash, and I was wondering if anyone has anything they are already using and can recommend. I've gone through what's on handango, and I can't say that I've been impressed much with what they have to offer. Any comments on strength's/weaknesses would be very much appreciated!
thanks much.

I ended up going with Ilium Software's Newsbreak. Sure, it costs money, but it's hardly disappoints when it comes to features. The ability to import OPML files is really nice. I've been using it for the last day, and I'm really impressed with it so far.

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with this...
Can anybody recommend a decent, free RSS reader for WM6? I have an HTC 620, previously with WM5 and used Avantgo, which worked admirably. I have now upgraded to WM6 and can't seem to find a decent RSS Reader which aggregates full articles / text, as Avantgo does not supprt WM6.
I have tried various including NewsMix, SplashNews and Viigo, but they all either seem to download just the first few lines of each article with a 'read more' section that then connects to the internet (setting sof 'NO limit' on article size doesn't make any difference), or connect to the internet automatically when I would like to manually connect, using my home Wi-Fi, to update the feeds and then disconnect the Wi-Fi and know that all of the full articles are stored on my device, so I don't have to use my data connection again.
Ideally, I would like to use the RSS section of Yahoo Go 2.0 which is installed on my S620, but this seems to update the news feeds automatically, when I would like to do this manually.
If anyone can help, it really will be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Munkee
I have been using Newsbreak for a while now and think this is the best rss reader. With Newsbreak not the entire article is downloaded and you have to connect ot get the entire document however at least you get most of it and if the story is worthwhile then connecting for a few seconds is worth it.
Try it and download a trial version from Handago.com
i agree, newsbreak is the best. you can even set up filters so you get only the articles you want.

Thanks for all the replies guys.
Newsbreak sounds like a good one, but I really need something that has full RSS articles and not just the first section, as I tend to use RSS Feeds which I have manually added and so like to read full articles.
SPB Insight sounds like it's the sort of thing I am after, but it's a commercial product. Not that I am tight or anything, but i would have thought that what I am after would be freely available somewhere. Oh well, guess i wil give the trial a go.
If anyone else has any more good recommendations, they will be very much approeciated.
Thanks,
Munkee
I use Viigo and I'm very satisfied with it. It's free too.
I use BeyondPod (http://www.beyondpod.mobi/). It's a free, open source feed reader and podcatcher. It requires Microsoft .NET CF 2.
I like the one which comes on the Samsung Blackjack. You can probably find in here somewhere.
the best RSS reader mini Opera!
The >absolute< best is Newsgator Go! It syncs with your other Newsgator services, like the free web-based newsreader or their desktop client. At $29.95, I feel it's a bit overpriced, but once you get used to having the status of your RSS subscriptions updated regardless of where you access them, including your phone, you might find it's worth it. Also, if you subscribe to MoDaCo Plus, you get a >ton< of free stuff included in the subscription -- Newsgator Go! is one of the software products you get, along with Papyrus, Resco File Explorer, and a bunch of others.

Has anyone seen an RSS reader which installs a url plugin? E.g. if you click on an RSS xml link in pocket explorer it automatically opens up your RSS reader and offers the option to subscribe to the feed? I'm interested in any ways of launching apps from within pocket explorer actually? e.g. I'd like to launch google maps and display a location marker from pocket IE.

Viigo is what I use.

I've tried SPB Insight ... but it works quite slow (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/insight/?en)
Lately I use Egress ... it really does the trick (http://garishkernels.net/egress.shtml)
P.S. Both are commercial ... you didn't mention free
I think the easiest, fastest, and nicest one I've found, is actually GOogle Reader.
Go to reader.google.com on your phone.
Hi,
I've tried a number of them so far and none of them are what I want:
gReader for whatever reason deletes a post as soon as you've read it return to the list of articles it didn't do that until this version and I can't figure out how to turn that off, there's no OPML import or export and it seems to not find a single URL I feed it for any new valid feed.
I've tried others but so far none has done what I need it to do, just download feeds, and images, if associated, have links showing, be customizable in that it can be organized into folders for feeds, not take over the entire device while sycing as gReader now all of a sudden does. it's become a huge CPU hog while syncing.
Any and all suggestiosn would be most appreciated.
NewsRob is what I've been using since I got my first Android phone, sounds like it should do what you're looking for and it can sync with Google Reader as well.

Funny, just installed it. How do you import or export an OPML file using this application though?
I have looked extensively for a good rss reader. I found Newsroom to be the best out of all of them. Personal opinion, but give it a try. Its functional, pretty, and works well.

I appreciate the recommendation, only issue with Newsroom is that it doesn't have gReader support. there is a four-month tech support thread that has the devs at the trileet company saying because the back end of Newsroomis proprietary and google reader isn't, that they would lose major functionality.
If they can't support google feeds then it's just not worth it.
I think gReader works great. I was one of the people who pushed for 2 way syncing and he made it happen. As for the article disappearing after you read it and press back, it's been like that for a while. If you want to save it, mark it as unread or star it. This is exactly the same way it works in Google Reader. I add or subtract rss feeds maybe once a year so I don't care how well gReader does it. I can just wait till I get to a real computer and do it there.
I use Greed (Lite) - free in the market. It integrates nicely with google reader, has the ability to follow links, and filter read/unread. Also has widgets that can be placed on your homescreens. No importing/exporting required... just provide your google account info and it syncs all of your feeds/folders.
Its worth a try... doesnt cost anything
Been using FeedR. It does cost some money, but its a very good reader with Google Reader support. Works fast, and looks great.

I currently use gReader. The problem you're describing about articles disappearing is that the app is set on default too only show new articles. The circle icon toggles between showing new articlesand showing all articles. Just toggle that and it will give you back your read articles. The check mark icon is to mark all articles as read. After I'm done skipping through the articles I don't want too read, I mark off all the remaining articles as read so it doesn't show up anymore
ive been using pulse and feedr. and so far. feedr seems to be the best one ive tried
Hi everyone,
I was just wondering, as the HTC website talks about having all your news in one place and the benefit that it syncs with Google Reader, I just wanted to see the proper way to set it up, if you can that is.
Are you able to sync Google Reader with HTC News widget?
I had previously exported the feed from Google Reader but as I want to read and add on the go, I would like it to sync new feeds straight back to my Google account instead of having to always use Google Reader app as it does not have a nice handy widget.
If it is possible, do I just need to add Google Reader and activate the sync to run in the background and HTC News will pick it up or will I just meet a dead end.
Thanks
I found that Reader app overwrote the News app's read/unread item states. Now I have only one of them enabled (HTC News app).

Hey all, what's the best ebook app that supports local libraries?
Aldiko Book Reader is quite nice. Otherwise if the file isn't too large I personally like to upload to Google Play Books.

I use the Nook app for my .epub e-books. Pretty decent app, relatively polished UI, and the right price (free).

Most of the readers I've tried from the Play Store are very good (Moon+ Reader, Nook, Kindle, FBRreader, Overdrive), but a few years ago I purchased Aldiko Pro and it has been perfect for me. There is a free version as well. I like the controls and options, the bookshelf looks nice and I've never once had any problem with it. I particularly like being able to make shortcuts to the books I'm currently reading, so I have an icon of the book cover to click on that will open the app and take me right to the last page I read.
It was one of the first apps I installed on my Nexus 7, I've probably read over a hundred books with it and I use it almost daily. But almost all the readers are free or have a free version, try them all! Read a chapter or two with each one and see which is most appealing to you personally.
I used to use the Nook reader until PlayBooks gained the ability to upload your ePubs to your Google account. Now i use PlayBooks for my reading. Like the fact that it syncs where you left off, bookmarks, markers etc across your devices.
Mantano is the absolute best epub reader I have found. There is a free version on the play store. Try it out. It also does pdf.

This. There is no better option than Google's own app - smooth, syncs progress and bookmarks, syncs the actual epub (after uploading it to your account), and best of all free.

Test out Play Books. Once your collection is uploaded, the syncing is great between your devices.
I say Nook And Aldiko are best Have Tried Them Myself you can download from play store or google it!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm a huge fan of mantano. It open PDFs and epubs flawlessly. There is a free version available so give it a try.

+1 now that you can upload your epubs or pdfs, play book is my recommendation. Manteno would be second. I find the formatting better on play book than manteno. The syncing between devices just seals the deal for play book. Manteno charges to sync between devices...

PS - the Nook app does all of this also. for free (unlike some of the others..obviously PlayBooks is free as well).
The thing I like about Nook over PlayBooks is that Nook gives me more text formatting options. Mainly, the ability to change margin widths. I have found this especially useful for reading some e-books.
Most of the big name readers have these sorts of additional text formatting options, however some charge for sync capabilities, etc.
I personally think that the actual contents of my books look the best in the Nook app (once you play around and get the formatting setup how you want it) and with free syncing between all of your devices, it's all win.
To each their own, obviously.
Cheers

I highly recommend Google Play Books for epubs as well. It is very nice looking, smooth, and the sync feature is great. I also LOVE the look of the widget, it is the centerpiece of my home screen. My only complaint is no support for my comics in cbr format, and also it seems that pdf pages (both pdf books and cbr->pdf conversions) load rather slowly at times.
But if you will solely be using epub, you can't go wrong here. You may have problems uploading converted epubs though.

Yeah, Moon Reader is great, and Moon+ Reader is 50% off!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreaderp
I seem to have a lot of problems with the epubs I have uploaded to play books, they take forever to load. I usually don't bother waiting. Aldiko and Moon+ are both good options. I also highly recommend aldiko sync to sync between devices.
I also tried a few different EPUB readers but Aldiko was the one that stayed my Nexus.
So I'm playing with Google Play Books, and generally I like it. One problem however, on several books it won't adjust the font size. I can change the setting but there's no change in the display. Any thoughts? Is the epub file hard-coded or something? Thanks...
I've tested many epub software and my favorite by far is moon+ reader. You can configure it to be perfect for you. The other soft doesn't have near as much setting to adjuste your reading to be as confortable as possible. But yeah you will have to take 10/20 minutes the first time configuring it (and have a few more tweak later too to do to be perfect). And that the only soft that render all my epub perfectly; during my testing I find some reader cut some text for no reason (aldiko in particuliar) but maybe that have been patched.
Sorry for my not so good english
Hello guys
I'm looking for an app for my Nexus with some kind of way to open multiple PDFs at the same time and change between them quickly, for studying purposes. Adobe Reader doesn't do this. Do you know any app with this function?

If you are only looking for PDF reader, then just go with any really. All are good!
However, you are looking for PDF reader + epub, mobi etc support go for moon+reader. It has speech and many cool options
If you are looking for PDF+ Office documents, just try office365
I am using both apps (paid versions) and there is not any app better than them in my opinion. Free ones are as great but Office365 free version won't let you edit documents.

Radaeel pdf , not sure if its compatible if you get it from playstore, but google the apk if u can't get in the playstore
QuickOffice by Google ?
Maybe OfficeSuite (not free)...
I never used a multi-pdf viewer so I couldn't really tell
Kingsoft Office?

You need EBookDroid.
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ebookdroid
It's a great PDF reader, and I use it to read my university books all the time, jumping from one book to another.
I paid for Moon+ Reader Pro in the past, but I've found EBookDroid works a lot better.
I like Foxit.
I tried EbookDroid and even though I liked it, it doesn't have a decent way to change quickly between PDFs. I think I'm gonna stick to iAnotate.
just go for adobe reader.
Try RepliGo Reader, ability to add notes and stuff
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I read a lot pdf's on my nexus and i tried most of pdfs readers and i can truly say that mantano reader is the best for big pdf files
Mantano is slow as hell and does not support in pdf files included page numbers.
I have to read an insane amount for school, so i personally use Moon Reader or Foxit for those few PDF's that Moon Reader has a problem rendering. Kingsoft is nice for just reading but doesnt have any good markup options like Moon or Foxit. Moon is pretty feature rich and has options for both day and night time reading to reduce strain on your eyes which is helpful if you have to go late into the night.
Cheers
I like Adobe Reader but the tabs system is really important for me. I study engineering and I need to have one PDF with exercises opened and another PDF with the theory, that's the way I'm used to work with my computer and I bought a tablet mainly because it's very light and portable.
The ability to write notes and underline words/sentences on PDFs isn't very important to me, I don't use it.
ezPDF reeder is the best on android, and 10% of GoodReeader on IOS
using xda app-developers app
I tried a lot of PDF readers only ones with both good text reflow and reversed/nightview ifound were ezPDF Reader (paid) and Adobe Reader. I think paid Moon+ has that too with PDFI. For epub it is by far the best imo and I am consisering buyong pro.
In my opinion every reader should have reversed/nightview for when one has to read much or at night.So ridiculous that so much pdf readers don"t have that or automatic resizing text to fit screen They shouldn't even be called a reader-app.
In EzPDF Reader you can switch easy to other pdf's via recent documents. It will remember the pages of all the pdf's where you were at. If that is what you mean. I like it a lot it has a lot of options. .
But if Moon + pro is as good with pdf as with epub I might switch in the near future. (It has better animated page flip with epub than Ez with pdf also by the way).
try SmartQ Reader.it's the best PDF reader that i ever used
