Good afternoon:

Like many, I used Google Reader for RSS. However, I seldom actually read the news in Google Reader. Mostly I used it to sync my desktop and mobile versions of RSS readers. On my Mac I use Reeder. It works pretty well for me and I like it and would like to continue with it. On my iPad I use Mr Reader. It also works well. With the demise of Google Reader, I need a new way to sync my desktop and mobile RSS. Mr. Reader will connect to Feedly, so I moved my feeds over there. However, as yet Reeder doesn’t connect to Feedly, at least on the desktop.

My question to the group-is there a Mac RSS reader that syncs with Feedly that I can use until the desktop version of Reeder is upgraded to do so?

ReadKit version 2.2 now supports Feedly on the Mac. Enjoy!

It took me a while to find a replacement for Google Reader. Its retirement contributed to my having less information overwhelm during a difficult period, so I didn’t miss it much.

My own current solution is The Old Reader along with a number of tools that sync with it: http://theoldreader.com/pages/apps

For some reason I didn’t want to jump on the Feedly bandwagon. BTW, The Old Reader has a premium version at $3/month, but currently under promotion at $2.

I’ve been using InoReader: http://www.inoreader.com/ Very similar to Google Reader and works fine in Safari in iOS.
