What's everybody using for an RSS app? I'm using NetaShare. I really like it, but it's lacking a home screen widget - I sorta wrote about it as part of my top 5 favorites, but I'm wondering if there might be something better that allows you to download and store RSS content on your phone AND has a homescreen widget.
I'm using NewsRoom, really like it. Retrieves whole articles and backs up to SD Card for offline reading. Throws up a notification in the notification bar when new content available. Excellent UI.
No Google Reader syncing yet though, so may be a turn off for dedicated Google Reader users.

If you're into rss feeds I highly reccomend the motoblur ui. I have 4 dedicated widgets for different rss feeds and one click takes you dirctly to the source website. Its quick and you can subscribe to different topics. I'm a huge fan!
NewsRoom allows for individual 1x1 sized widgets that go direct to each feed also, but just seems a waste of space given the notifications bar alert for new material.

I've tried most of the ones available. I like Greed the most, that is until the recent update that introduced slower loading and very annoying ads.
I REALLY like Newsroom, but not having Reader sync is a dealbreaker for me. I would definitely be willing to buy a full version of Newsroom if it had Reader sync.
For now, I'm sticking with the older version of Greed before the developer screwed it up. Lucky for me I had a backup of it so I reverted back to it.
I use FeedR Beta. I haven't tried any other RSS app, but I didn't want to after trying this out. Lets me search for feeds using keywords, caches images automatically (setting), limits cache size etc. Works for me.
Favorite RSS Apps?
