The news sites and blogs are always refreshing information every hour. If you aren't using RSS feeds to consume that content, you're certainly in for a treat to save your time and data to consume all kinds of content from a single app. Of course, the dedicated apps from media organizations are nice, but what if you're only interested in Markets, Business, Sports, or a combination of a few topics?

So instead of opening several tabs or keeping handful of news apps, RSS feeds from multiple sources allow you to enjoy content in a single app.

The RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds mostly fetch the title, photo, and some text (at times full article) and lets you read them without distractions. So you can follow the latest updates of your favorite blogs and websites all in one place instead of having to visit multiple sites on your Mac.

Here's a compilation of the best 5 RSS news reader apps that we found extremely useful.

Note: We've used these apps on macOS 11 Big Sur public beta and they worked without any issues. The screenshots were captured with macOS in dark mode.

1. NetNewsWire

NetNewsWire is a free, open-source RSS feed reader app, and I bet you'd heard of it when trying to look for a dedicated RSS feeds app. The app's recent version deliversa fast and reliable RSS news reading experience. The RSS feedsenthusiasts can link their Feedbin account, which comes with a paidsubscription.

And the Feedly users can keep their read items synced across devices as well. It does come with a handful of sources, and you can always import the OPML file from elsewhere.

Its two-column, single pane interface will remind you of apps like MS Outlook. So will most apps on this list. Using a lot of keyboard shortcuts with the spiffy experience is fun. So is tinkering with a bevy of customizations and power-packed search. The only place this app falls shorts is the capability to share a few things. So if you seek an open-source app that you'll customize later as per your convenience, then NetNewsWire checks most of the right boxes.

2. Reeder 5

Freshly updated Reeder 5 carries one of the most polished interfaces of all the available RSS readers. The iPhone users will love the new iCloud sync feature to use it with their Macs.

Note: The screenshot is of Reeder 4 and it was taken before Reeder 5 was released.

Previously, the major updates took a while, and you should bethankful that they did. The developers proactively roll out app updatesimmediately after the new iOS version drops.

Read Later and Mark As Read on scroll will be extremely convenientfor the prolific readers who prefer RSS feeds to consume news. And itonly gets better with a bouquet of support for third-party services likeFeedbin, Feedly, FeedHQ, NewsBlur, Instapaper, Pocket, and others.

3. ReadKit

Mac

ReadKit serves as a perfect no-nonsense newsreader app with supportfor several Read it later services like Instapaper, Readability, andPocket. Either of these services can really help you organize thelong-form or other content that you wish to read later at peace.Alternatively, you can star them as well.

The Smart Folder option lets you manage and organize your feed subscriptions into meaningful subjects and categories. For instance, I've sorted mine into Android, Apple, Gaming, and so on. Wondering how to add your feeds collection? Well, ReadKit supports a host of RSS feeds subscription services like Feedly, Feedbin, NewsBlur, Feed Wrangler, and even Fever.

Okay, I saved the best for the last - Focus mode and Search (self-explanatory). The Focus mode hides all the columns with folders and turns the window into a full screen to read the article. ReadKit is available for $9.99 from the Mac App Store.

4. News Explorer

One of the strong points of the News Explorer app is that it supports synching content from RSS, Atom, JSON, and even Twitter feeds. On top of that, it also supports Podcast RSS feeds so that you don't miss out on your favorite podcast episodes.

Apple News App For Mac

That's why News Explorer is my go-to RSS readers to catch up onPodcasts while I read and scroll through several feeds from differentsources. While it offers most features for customizing views andmanaging sources, there's one more reason to prefer News Explorer.

The app costs $9.99 if you want to purchase it from the Mac AppStore. However, if you buy SetApp's monthly subscription for the sameamount, you get News Explorer and several other paid apps for free - allincluded in the subscription amount. I think that's a pretty good dealif you just want to try out several paid apps for a month and thencontinue the subscription if you wish. So this app suits the best forthe folks looking for that value-for-money quotient with paid Mac apps.

After Google Reader shut down, I moved the OPML file of the RSS feeds to Feedly, which really helped to subscribe to many similar sources and get rid of infrequent or overlapping ones. As a recovering RSS reading fan, I now prefer the ones with Read It Later services baked inside.

Most other apps on this list support a Feedly account. So transferring your curated lists and sections from Feedly to another app will be quite a breeze.
