Please do recommend RSS apps for all platforms. Currently using:

Android: Read You iOS/Mac: Unread
- Android: Read You
  
  Is it available from an app store? I only found the apk on GitHub but I'd rather not update manually.
  
  It’s available on F-droid not sure about playstore.
- I'm using feeder on android and it's working well for me. On desktop I use Firefox extension but can't remember the name
- https://search.f-droid.org/?q=rss&lang=en
  
  Personally, Feeder.
- I’ve been using Feedly on iOS for a few years since google dropped their rss client.
  
  Was on Feedly, have now moved to News Explorer for iOS. Self hosted (runs on device), synchronizes between iOS devices using iCloud
  
  Have you tried Unread on iOS? I find it more intuitive than News Explorer. I find News Explorer to be buggy.
  
  I used Feedly for a bit but they were extremely pricey. They didn't have a free tier back then.
  
  For their €7/month price you can rent a VPS and selfhost FreshRSS with a lot more stuff.
  
  At the point, might as well build your own home server 😂
- Inoreader does this web and Android/Apple clean controls and responsive UI.
  
  Paid version has a ton of enhancements including trending things among other users.
- Newsblur in desktop web browser, 36 USD / year
  
  It has a FLOSS version and a more limited free version hosted by them, but the 2.5 GBP / month was worth the QoL increase for me.
  
  Currently, I use Newblur for subscribing to feeds and then link it with other RSS apps. (The NewsBlur mobile app is terrible.)
