My choice too. I used Feedly mixed with Reeder for a while but after a while didn’t want to use Feedly anymore, so just using the feeds directly inside of NetNewsWire. The only thing I wish it had was a mute filter feature. Sometimes I want to filter words to avoid spoilers if a movie/game/whatever is coming out soon. Haven’t found a great looking RSS app with a mute filter feature without a subscription. I’m happy to pay for an app if it has what I want, but I’m not interested in a subscription.
Note that it deletes posts older than 30 days. This came as a surprise to me and was not a nice thing to notice.
I have tried many and Reeder is my default rss reader on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Reeder 5
Agreed. Fed by my self hosted FreshRSS server.
I love this implementation. No charges, no random shut down, etc. basically free. Amazing. Glad I’m not the only one.

Another for Reeder here.
Saw yours and others recommendation for reeder5 and tried it today. Really liking it so far. Thank you for that.
+1 for Reeder
I use Inoreader though I don't have any experience with using it in an Apple ecosystem. And if you want yet another alternative look at The Old Reader.
NetNewsWire with syncing through Feedly.
The Feedly web UI is decent, and NNW is great on Mac and iOS.
I use Feedly directly in the web UI primarily on Windows and Linux
It all stays in sync nicely.
NetNewsWire is free and light weight in a good way.
Feedly is the one I used since Google Reader died, haven't looked back since.
I had been using Feedly as well, as my GReader replacement. But they put a lot of features behind an arbitrary paywall with a few quite high. I understand people need to feed their families, but Reeder had the better value proposition for me (especially since I am already paying for iCloud storage).
Feedbin, with Reeder on iOS and Mac.
This doesn't meet your platform requirements, but for non-Appley types reading - Feeder:

Very minimal (in a good way) and clean RSS reader that can sync across Android devices. I think if it had a Web version it'd be perfect.
Reeder 5 NetNewsWire
I've been a Feedbin user ever since Google Reader's shutdown. It's simple, it loads fast, and gets new features occasionally that I like. Does help that it looks nice af and not outdated too even after many years in.
Reader wise, always Reeder. I don't like it as much as the very earliest versions (I think it looks generic now especially on iPad), but I always felt like it was the best designed and the most reliable.
A bit of a shame that it's basically frozen in place feature wise. I remember double and triple dipping Reeder 3, 4 and now 5 and it's barely changed since.
For iOS it’s Reeder. I’ve been using it forever. It’s awesome. I use an RSS aggregator on my rPi FreshRSS which uses an API to connect to my phone. Works really well.
I use Reeder and like it. I also have Reader by Readwise and tried to use the RSS feature in that, but it didn’t work as well as Reeder last I tried it.
I stopped using Feedly after all the creepy AI stuff. Reeder synced over iCloud with an OPML export every now and then keeps it so I'm not reliant on a central service and can run it all locally should I choose.
Anyone using Feedly, or equivalent, hasn't learnt the lessons of Google Reader. Manage it yourself, don't rely on a central service that's going to do creepy monitoring on you to power their AI model.

Inoreader. It has a great iOS client and the web interface is fantastic too.
+1 for Inoreader. I was an avid user of Google Reader and Inoreader was the closest that I’ve found.
Another +1 for NetNewsWire. Its simple, ad-free, syncs over iCloud, can set an entire feed to reader mode (so convenient for certain feeds that only broadcast the headline), and its FOSS.
The creators encourage supporting other FOSS devs and accept no donations to themselves or NNW.
I have set TinyTinyRSS to a web server. There, with fever plug-in I use it to read feeds in Apple-devices with Reeder. This also allows me to use various apps in Windows and Android devices, whenever I feel like it.
Lire rss
The developers is frequently updating and he has fixed bugs I reported. Full text is good and it had caching. However you will have to pay for it.
Unread is super clean with minimal UI distraction. Probably not for everyone, but I think it’s perfect
Yeah I use Unread on mobile and Feedly on desktop.

I use Inoreader and have been very happy with it
I use the Feedbin service and the ReadKit app. I used to love Reeder, but ReadKit’s Wallabag integration won me over.
Reeder and Newsblur is a great combo! I don't even miss Google Reader anymore.

TTRSS with Fiery Feeds (iOS). This suits me very good
NewsBlur
+1 for reeder
I’ve used Feedly ever since Google Reader shut down. I’ve stuck with it because it does what I need it to do.
FreshRSS with NetNewsWire
Reeder it is.
reeder on the ipad (best ui for me) and vienna on macos (as its open source, themeable and fast)
NetNewsWire
For self-hosted, TT-RSS. Otherwise Newsblur.
I only moved to self-hosted because I need to be able to read internal RSS feeds (Huginn etc) otherwise I would have stuck with Newsblur.
