Android feed reader supporting many sync services. The listings below can replace it for an important use case. Each note says what changes if you switch.
The original

Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as FeedMe.
ReadYou

Feedly
Cloud RSS reader with apps, newsletters and AI topic filtering.

Inoreader
Power-user cloud RSS reader with rules, filters and full-text search.

NewsBlur

Also worth comparing
These listings name FeedMe as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.

A light Android feed reader, forked from Flym, that loads full article text for offline reading.
FeedMe works with almost every common sync back end and adds on-device filtering rules, but is not open source and some features require payment.
