========================

Windows 10

========================

I started my journey with Thunderbird (Windows 10):

-No feature configuration options

-No full text option

-Dropped

Then I discovered the Raven Reader:

-Best interface

-No longer maintained

-No full text feature

-Dropped

Next, I found RSSGuard:

-Does Not Provides the "full text" feature

-More configurable features

-Regularly maintained

-Will drop it as soon as I find a Reader to provide a "full text"

=======================

Android

=======================

I started with FocusReader:

-Full text feature, which is a must for me

-Many other features

-Regularly maintained

-Still the best Android option for me for now

I also discovered the RSS Reader feature of a podcast player (PodcastRepublic):

-Always provides the "full text" function which is a must for me

-No options to configure the RSS Reader or add features

-As an RSS feed reader, it has no updates or configuration options

-I have been using it primarily as a podcast player, with the RSS Reader as a bonus

-I wish the RSS Reader configuration could be added to accommodate additional features

YOUR ideal RSS Readers ? and why?

I recommend Capy Reader for Android. I used to use FocusReader but cancelled my subscription to FocusReader when I found Capy.

I cannot find "import OPML" option. Does it exist?

[–] Aldursil@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I found it. Go to Settings then Account and you can import from there.

[–] Flmaker@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

No you cannot

I don't believe you can import opml. You need to connect to a FreshRSS server. You can host your own or connect to a public server where you can create an account.

that's not so practical if I could get a windows app like the android apks which do all without any dramas

Did you see my last response where I showed where you can import opml?

[–] Flmaker@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

only opml export is visible, no import option. there a file import option but don't recognize the opml to import it

For Android, I like "Read You". It's simple to use, has a full text function, and works well with FreshRSS.
