I'm looking for rss reader app that:
1-automatically downloads all new items while connected so they can be read later offline
2-doesn't have insanely intrusive permissions
3-gives the ability to store all downloaded items on external sd, rather than internal (btw this is for rooted gs4 running android 4.3)
4-prefer free and ad-free, although I'd pay a few bucks if I were sure it would meet my requirements.
Feedly is the first rss reader name most people think of....but it is online only - doesn't do #1
gReader is often touted as an offline rss reader, but it Fails on#2 (needs access to "sensitive log data"!)
I'm really liking FeedMe (note the M , different than Feedly) as offline reader with reasonable permissions, free, no ads, and a great interface, but it fails on #3-puts everything on my internal storage.
Flyne looks like it charges if you want anything other than their preselected feeds (#4), and I'm not sure whether it stores on external sd (#3)
I actually have a solution involving pocket and ifttt that meets all four.....

..... BUT it's a workaround and way too clunky. I'm looking for something designed as rss reader from the ground up instead.
If no attractive solutions appear, I will probably stick with FeedMe and cope with the internal storage issue by limiting the download cache size.
