About Readrops
Readrops is a multi-service RSS client for Android. You can subscribe to feeds locally on the phone, or connect it to an existing feed service such as FreshRSS or Nextcloud News so your subscriptions and read state stay in step with a server you already use.
The project is developed in the open on GitHub, with a changelog and store metadata kept in the repository. It suits Android users who want a single reader for both standalone feeds and a self-hosted aggregator.
