FeedR Vs. gReader Vs. NewsRob

 

FeedR

FeedR enables you to view you feeds by category. Even better, you can color code your categories so that you can find the news that you need to read fast. You have the option to connect with your Google Reader account, but you can also use the app without it. Some extra features are the ability to easily share the news that you read, ability to set the app on your homescreen as a widget and the ability to make a shortcut to an RSS feed on your homescreen. However, FeedR misses things, such as the option to view all of your feeds at the same time and there is that dull UI. The newest version requires Android 2.0 or newer.

 

gReader

 gReader is an RSS feed client that enablesyou to view your feeds by site, or view the whole at the same time. What I like about gReader is its simplicity. The UI is very straight forward and fun to see. The app syncs with your Google Reader account, and does so in a very fastway . With that being said, there are a few extra features, such as the ability to search for articles. gReader will most likely appeal to people who want their news, and want it fast, with no interruptions. That being said, there is the occasional gripe with gReader. The fact that you can seek for articles from a site, but can not search for a site to add to your news list was a turn off.

 

NewsRob

 The most recent RSS feed client that we have is NewsRob. NewsRob is a very sleek app that brings you your news from your Google Reader account. The UI is very pleasant to look at, no extra features are to be used. You can sync to you Google Reader account, and do the expected, like mark as read. You can also view the whole of your feeds at once, which is a nice feature that is not available in other apps. As far as getting your news, it does it at the normal speed. Nothing special, but also not bad.
