What's the best RSS feed reader for Mac OS X?

Reuben Helmuth · May 2015

I need a better and more flexible/customizable way to follow the forum feeds. I thought that Alabama24, Mike Binks, Jack Caviness, and any other forum seniors who use Mac, might have some advise for me! I'm currently using Newsflow, but find that it doesn't do well with items that I've marked as read. Also, even though I made every effort to get the specific "Logos 6" forum only, in one fee, I get the general forum so that means Everything! :-(
I would like to have a reader that is versatile with the feeds that I subscribe to and when reading a specific thread, allows me to QUICKLY and EASILY create a feed for that thread.
All feedback welcome!
Thanks!

I wish I could help, but I have never used an RSS feed! Hopefully someone will have a good suggestion. If so, let us know how it goes and if I should try it.

I've used and enjoyed both ReadKit and Reeder (my current one). I've never had any difficulties with marking items as read. I do not, however, use the Logos RSS feeds—it would be too overwhelming for me.

I use ReadKit and like it. Like Integ I don't use it for the Logos forums as (as far as I can see) you get everything from all the forums in the RSS feed and it gets too overwhelping.

I use DevonThink for this, as I make my notes in this program too.

As I have used many Bible programs, I am happy to have my notes in a separate program :-)

Maybe I'm missing something ... it's happened before.

Podcasts are RSS feeds and iTunes reads/subscribes to podcasts. Maybe iTunes is limited in some way?

Is there a specific issue or something I'm not aware of with the RSS feed you want to subscribe? Maybe I'm thinking about audio and you have a text RSS feed. Does Mail handle that?

I just use Feedly since it's completely cross-platform. When Google dropped their reader, Feedly rescued a great way of keeping up with RSS feeds. Any browser, tablet, it's easy to have and access.

I too run feedly on Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad. It runs everywhere, syncs everywhere.

If I remember correctly, Apple's Safari browser used to handle RSS feeds. Almost every browser now probably has at least one extension to do the job. FWIW, RSS is pretty much vanilla technology these days. Boils down to readability and access.
