What is Flym?
Flym News Reader is a light, modern, totally free (no ads) and opensource project which keeps you inform by fetching your websites/blogs and displaying them in a mobile-optimized way.
It is based on the "Sparse RSS" reader.
It DOES NOT synchronize with any online feed reader yet, if you need synchronization this app is not for you.
Comments and Reviews
I started using Flym to replace Flipboard after moving to LineageOS without Google. Since Flipboard isn't open source, I wanted to find a good news alternative that could also handle RSS feeds. Flym fills this need beautifully! Lightweight, fast, great UI, and available on F-Droid!
Everything works as expected. The interface looks very polished.
After exporting Feedly subscriptions to OPML file, importing the file into Flym is a no brainer. Flym pops up the standard file picker. There is no need to copy the file to a specific folder first.
Handy News Reader is a fork from Flym with reading contents from non-RSS web sites as added feature.
