First we took a look at the five most popular newreader apps for iOS<\/a>. Now we’re back to balance things out with a peek at the five most popular newsreaders for the Android.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week we asked you to share your favorite Android newsreader<\/a>. We tallied up the nominations, and now we’re back to share the five most popular readers.<\/p>\n

Google Reader<\/a> (Free)<\/h5>\n

\"Five<\/a><\/p>\n

Google Reader, the long awaited official app from Google, took its sweet time getting to the Market. None the less, despite being on the Market for less than two months it’s one of the most popular RSS apps. It syncs seamlessly with multiple accounts and gives you access to the full subscription features like starring, marking as read, sharing, and more. Google Reader also includes some neat navigational features like the ability to use your phone’s volume rocker switch as a next and previous key for your RSS feeds.

FeedR<\/a> ($1.99)<\/h5>\n

\"Five<\/a><\/p>\n

Many RSS tools piggyback on Google Reader. FeedR supports synchronization with Google Reader if you’re a fan but also supports plain old feed importing if you like to manually manage your feed and keep Google out of the loop. You can search and preview your feeds, read offline with images thanks to local caching, easily switch between the mobile and full view for articles, and more. FeedR’s design places emphasis on transparency; the UI stays out of your way which frees up valuable screen space for reading. [FeedR on AppBrain<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Pulse<\/a> (Free)<\/h5>\n

\"Five<\/a><\/p>\n

Pulse was a popular contender in our iOS newsreader Hive Five<\/a> thanks to its sleek layout and photo-centric swipe based reading style. The interface translates surprisingly well to Android phones. Pulse is the most social of the newsreaders in this roundup and includes the ability to stream your Facebook feed right along side your news feeds as well as share stories via Facebook, Twitter, , and email. You can start fresh with Pulse or import all your feeds from Google Reader. [Pulse on AppBrain<\/a>]<\/p>\n

NewsRob<\/a> (Basic: Free\/Pro: $6.84)<\/h5>\n

\"Five<\/a><\/p>\n

NewsRob syncs your Google Reader account to your Android phone for real-time and offline reading. NewsRob includes system wide notifications of new content, caching to the SD card for smoother reading, and the ability to mark as read, favorite, and edit feed categories. Upgrading to the premium version removes the ads and enables article sharing and article notation. [NewsRob on AppBrain<\/a>]<\/p>\n

gReader<\/a> (Basic: Free, Pro: $5.47)<\/h5>\n

\"Five<\/a><\/p>\n

Long before Google released and official read app, gReader was filling the niche. gReader sports two-way synchronization with Google Reader, offline reading, direct editing of your feed and folder settings from gReader, support for local caching and saving media from your feeds to your phone, offline reading, system notifications, and easy sharing via email, Twitter, Facebook, and more. The premium version removes the ads, and activates additional features like themes and widgets. [gRreader<\/a> on AppBrain]<\/p>\n
