Read You review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Read You is an open-source RSS reader for Android devices, aimed at people who want a free way to subscribe to feeds and manage articles on a mobile device. It supports RSS feed links, OPML import and export, article synchronization, update notifications, full-content parsing, feed grouping, article search, and filtering for unread or starred items. Its Material You design and Android widget support suit users who prefer a native Android reading experience with configurable feed organization.

The strongest part of Read You is the breadth of its core reading toolkit. Full-content parsing can bring article text into the reader, while grouping, search, unread filtering, and starred-item filtering help organize a growing collection. Notifications surface updates without requiring constant manual checking, and read-aloud support adds another way to consume articles. These features make Read You more than a basic feed list, particularly for Android users who want both discovery and focused reading in one application.

Read You also fits established RSS ecosystems through integrations with Fever, Google Reader, FreshRSS, Miniflux, Tiny Tiny RSS, Inoreader, Feedly, and Feedbin. Its open-source distribution through F-Droid and GitHub releases, including a release page showing version 0.16.2, will appeal to users who value inspectable software and flexible service connections. The trade-off is platform scope: the stated platform is Android, so users seeking desktop, web, or multi-platform coverage should choose another reader. Read You is a strong pick for Android-first RSS reading, but less suitable for households or teams that need a shared cross-platform setup.
