So here we go...
Digg
Digg Reader is simple, clean, and functional rss reader (news reader) app. Before adding rss feeds, Digg requests you to sign in using Google+, Facebook or your Twitter account. By default it shows the top stories and after you have added a rss feed, it will pull out new information and articles from the feed.
Adding new feeds is very simple and you can put them in new categories. It also has Instapaper/Pocket support for saving the article to future reading. Digg is a a good way to get the news you want when you want to read the posts. If you need something that is basic in order to access your favorite RSS feeds, the Digg Reader could be what you're looking for.
