What comes to your mind when you read & hear the term “RSS“? I think some of you will be glad to know that it is still very much present today, but, a few things have changed since its inception. RSS stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication,’ most commonly referred to as, the News Feed. In the old days of the Internet age, when you liked an article on a website, you could bookmark it, and revisit the site at a later time to see if anything new had been posted.
Then came the RSS, which notified you every time a new post was added to your bookmarked site. RSS isn’t spamming or cookies, it is a feed that you subscribed to, using your email address, which is where you received notifications. Today, not too many websites have an RSS Feed button on their web pages, but rather, a new form of RSS has come to light, which still finds a great use among a lot of aficionados in the world.
Let us take a look at a few of the Best RSS Readers For Android Available in 2017. Shall we?

2. Flipboard
Although Flipboard isn’t technically an RSS Reader App, it makes the cut for two reasons-
First, It has a similar functionality as Feedly, which means, you can pick the topics of interest, 5 to start with, and then read all the latest posts made by various e-magazines. Such as, if your topic of interest happens to be ‘Entrepreneurship’, then, Flipboard will show you articles that are based on it. But, in contrast to Feedly, you get to read articles on Flipboard posted on any website, and if you like it, you can give it a ‘thumbs up’ or a ‘thumbs down’.
Secondly, You can share the stories with your friends, either on Facebook, Twitter or Google+ and also add a whole mention of familiar people and businesses that you’d like to follow on the basis of your chosen topics at the beginning.
Another cool feature is that you can make use of the Search option to look for sources, people, topics, or pick one from the swath of items underneath. In the profile area, you can also see how many followers you have, and save your favorite articles, and itemize them as public or private.
