I love Feedly.

I tried theoldreader when Google Reader first announced, but they were swamped and down more than up.

Newsblur - it has an annual cost, but it works out to $2/month, which I an live with for something that works the way I want one to.

[The Old Reader](https://theoldreader.com/%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%8E) which I was already using before Google Reader went away. If you follow fewer than 100 feeds it’s free of charge.
