I am Biased, this is without a doubt, my favorite iPhone RSS reader. The first thing you’ll notice about ‘Reeder’ is the stunning interface. It’s elegant, minimal, friendly and right feature at the right place and nice animation. The Sync Process with Google Reader is faster than other apps.

NetNewsWire

(From: News Gator Technologies)

NetNewsWire Syncs with Google Reader. It is being offered for free and it gives a decent experience to its user. The current version comes with some amazing interface tweaks and the best thing about NetNewsWire is its smoothness of Syncing with Google Reader. The free version comes with some annoying Ads that can be removed by purchasing the paid version. Latest News (24 hour) section is one of my favorite features. NetNewsWire performs well regardless of connection type.

If you read an item on your iPhone, you don’t have to read it again on your Macintosh or other computer. It’s automatically marked as read everywhere. You can star items or send them to Instapaper to save them for later. You can email articles or post links to Twitter to share with friends. Going through your articles is easy: just tap the Next Unread button. And if there are feeds you don’t want to read on your iPhone, you can hide them.

(Free version of NetNewsWire displays ads. The premium version does not.)
