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

Windows 10

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

Started first with Thunderbird (W10):

-No configuration options

-No full text option

-Dropped


Then 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-No longer maintained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 for offline reading

-Dropped

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

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 wish any windows RSS Feeder be like this)


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

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

-Not Enough options to configure the RSS Reader or improvement and or add features at all

  • Been using it primarily as a podcast player, with the RSS Reader, as a bonus

-I wish the RSS Reader configuration could be improved to accommodate additional settings and new features added

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

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

        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

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