About spaRSS

Summary
spaRSS is a light, modern, totally free (no ads) and opensource project which keeps you inform by fetching your websites/blogs and displaying them in a mobile-optimized way.
It DOES NOT synchronize with any online feed reader.

Features:
• easily add new feeds thanks to the Google News or search feature (you can also subscribe to a new one from the browser via the share feature)
• light and dark themes
• offline reading including images and private news
• import/export the feed list from OPML
• retrieve the full text of the feed when the content is truncated
• star your favorite entries
• search into your articles
• filter your feed by keywords or regular expressions
• custom widgets

Feedly users: you can export your feeds to OPML at this address (http://cloud.feedly.com/#opml) and then import them into spaRSS

The notifications in Android's notification tray disappear after a second. It's an issue with several RSS apps. If it weren't for that, this app would be pretty much perfect.

by Q####:

Constantly crashes on Samsung Galaxy Tab running Android Marshmallow. Also won't stop syncing if just one single feed has any coding errors or is temporally down . Also it totally freezes totally and can't exit it unless home button is pressed after force stopped to stop the syncing. I had to uninstall and reinstall several times since tablet upgraded to Marshmallow to fix freeze. Also ItunesU feeds will not update and I have to unsubscribe and reubscribe them to get updates for these particular feeds.

Best feed reader

Hello, I love this app and use it as my main rss reader. However due to limited bandwidth (or you can say capped data) I turned off images under setting. While the images sure doesn't load in articles but the preview thumbnails does. Could you fix this please? It will save a lot of data for me. :) Thanks. P. S - Installed from fdroid but to give this comment I need to install from playstore to give comment. :/

Twas the best and still probably is. However Google's changes to Android SD access has made importing OPML impossible. This lower rating should probably go to Android over all but so far spaRSS had been the first to be broken by Google's letter updates and change.

Says each time file is invalid but all 3 import on every other rss reader I tried. Disappointing. Don't really want to add individually.. UPDATE reinstall app and the failed opml is then there in the app. Then works fine. Nice app.

Very fast, good looking & minimal data-ram-battery consuming App. But I wish to suggest some improvements to make it more perfect, especially please display news in widget at least in two lines (one line is not sufficient), it will be better to provide double tap feature to show full content instead of from menu option, auto mark on scrolling in list view feature and lastly font size of news in list view needs more bigger.

Thank you for making this app available. The offline full feed options are something I've wanted for many years.

It does what it says and it simple and fast.

A70%
by A####:

Showing full articles with a double tap or a similar gesture is a must for me. Shame, because this app is promising, but that gap along with subpar text extraction and formatting, as well as a minimal selection of fonts, make it a limited option for me... I will stay with press for now.

Does what it says on the tin. It's also Android's best podcatcher. 10 stars.

Great rss reader would give 5 star if could read articles with scoll with volume button

Promising, but won't load opml from flym or sparse rss mod.

Does not import everything on the OMPL. T_T

I want an RSS reader that isn't dependent on a cloud service, since they can die. This one works robustly, and is really actively supported as it's evolving.

I have tried many readers and this one beats them all, friendly, great design, fast performance, plus full articles fetching for offline reading. Thank you.

Been searching the rss app from past 2yrs but none of the Rss app were that featured packed, finally you dev fulfilled my wish. Had seen this rss app on F-droid, thought I should give a try and whoop its the best of the best like Flym rss. As user's cannot rate and comment on F-droid, so I stopped by here to say Thank You ! I still feel this one could be enhanced with UI and rss feed's media download options with feed audio player. Best thing it retrieves the whole text without even visiting the webpage.

Simple no-frills RSS reader with perfect offline support (including images)! Takes Flym reader and fixes the bugs. :)
