Favorite RSS Apps?

What's everybody using for an RSS app? I'm using NetaShare. I really like it, but it's lacking a home screen widget - I sorta wrote about it as part of my top 5 favorites, but I'm wondering if there might be something better that allows you to download and store RSS content on your phone AND has a homescreen widget.

What does everybody else use?
 
I'm using NewsRoom, really like it. Retrieves whole articles and backs up to SD Card for offline reading. Throws up a notification in the notification bar when new content available. Excellent UI.

No Google Reader syncing yet though, so may be a turn off for dedicated Google Reader users.
 
If you're into rss feeds I highly reccomend the motoblur ui. I have 4 dedicated widgets for different rss feeds and one click takes you dirctly to the source website. Its quick and you can subscribe to different topics. I'm a huge fan!
 
NewsRoom allows for individual 1x1 sized widgets that go direct to each feed also, but just seems a waste of space given the notifications bar alert for new material.

Google Reader is definitely a must for me...
 
Another vote for newsroom, there's a free trial version but the full version is definitely worth buying.

PureRSS isn't too bad either.
 
Currently using the News app which came preloaded on the Desire, it seems OK and has a homescreen widget too.

Newsroom sounds like a nice alternative though, with its offline reading facility.
 
I've tried most of the ones available. I like Greed the most, that is until the recent update that introduced slower loading and very annoying ads.

I REALLY like Newsroom, but not having Reader sync is a dealbreaker for me. I would definitely be willing to buy a full version of Newsroom if it had Reader sync.

For now, I'm sticking with the older version of Greed before the developer screwed it up. Lucky for me I had a backup of it so I reverted back to it.
 
I use FeedR Beta. I haven't tried any other RSS app, but I didn't want to after trying this out. Lets me search for feeds using keywords, caches images automatically (setting), limits cache size etc. Works for me.
