RSS Readers

I'm looking for a decent RSS reader, which readers are people using?

Currently using Info RSS & Newsrob, looking for ones which are easy enough to add URLs from web pages and which can alert when there are new articles.

Newsroom (paid app) has a dynamite display and lets you add URLs fairly easily.

FeedR has a great UI and widget

I also use Newsroom and would recommend it. They have a trial so you can use it for a bit to see if you like it.

I think I've tried just about all of them and settled on the Blue reader. Newsroom badly needs a preview list. If you subscribe to well populated and updated feeds it takes forever to page through each with your screen sucking power all the while. Feedr has serious issues with syncing and often misses wildly on number of new articles. With newsrob I get too many bad urls to linked articles. Blue gets everything right though I wish it had a global mark all articles read option. Except for the lack of preview Newsroom is superb.

Forgot about BlueRSS. It's great. Also, AnyRSS is good too.

newsRob is my RSS reader of choice.
