Back when this happened I ended up switching to Digg Reader.  Today they say they are shutting down the RSS reader March 26th...  Anyone have a current RSS reader favorite that doesn't cost anything per month?  Doesn't seem like it should cost $5 per month to use RSS

 

I've used Feedly for a while, there's both an app for iOS and a website.

 

Recently I've installed Evergreen, an alpha Mac app that is fast and lightweight and free:

The Old Reader works well for me.

Do you have any notable issues with Feedly?  I use it, and it's not as great as Google Reader, or Digg Reader,  ... it's sufficient for the most part.

I use theoldreader.com, it has search feature, which is missing in feedly.

 

It looks a lot like the old google reader, so I went to hit signup and it mentioned a premium feature. There is no info about it without signing up, so I didn't join.  I don't like having no information about what I'm joining before I join.  Too much like bait and switch.  What is the cost for premium and how crippled is the reader, or cluttered with ads, if you don't pay?

I forgot I had an account with TOR. (free)

So I took a screenshot for you. I use uBlock Origin so I really don't know about the ads since I don't see them.

It does remind me of the old Google reader.

It's ok. Not as fast or as clean as Google Reader was. That's why I'm experimenting with Evergreen.

Thanks I think I'm going to try it.  I've been using Feedly since Google Reader went away, but I've never been really happy with it.
