When Google Reader got shipped off to the farm upstate, I switched to Feedly briefly, but wasn't very happy with the web client.
Once I found Feedbin though, It's integrated seamlessly into my daily routine, becoming something that I use all day but almost never think about. I consider that the greatest praise I can bestow upon software. It's been worth every penny to me.
(FWIW, I use "Press" reader on Android, which syncs with Feedly, Feedbin and other services, too).
That looks appealing; my only hesitation is the sign up methods are Google/FB/Twitter (or OpenID, which I honestly don't know how to use. Is it a pain?)
ReadKit [1] for macOS is still pretty nice. You can pull in feeds from Feedly, Feedbin, etc and also send articles to a read later app like Instapaper or Pocket. I prefer the native app approach over a web app for this use case. It's also a one-time purchase. Reeder [2] is pretty similar as well.
I like NewsBlur. The site training system is very effective at filtering out stuff that I don’t want to see and it has reasonable mobile apps for both android and iOS.
It’s probably one of the more expensive of the hosted options though.
Only thing I really want at this point is to be able to filter out for certain keywords, but it's a pro feature. Does a different app offer this for free?
I've been a happy Feedly user since GoogleReader shutdown, and i've recently built Aktu: http://aktu.io
It already has some nice features, and many more to come :-)
- Rss feeds
- news aggregation from thousands of feeds (like Google news)
- content categorization
- entity extraction
- personal dashboard / master feed for all your rss feeds
etc...

$20/year, and absolutely worth it. It just works.

The UI is kind of similar to google reader.
