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.
