Y'know, I have this installed and it even has a feature I was looking for in an Android RSS reader (search), but there was something about it that kept me from settling with it. I think it may not have accepted all the feeds I had in the .opml file I imported, but looking at it again, it is a pretty good app.
Oh yes, I'm using it also. Actually it has something I need from RSS reader - it's minimal and very, very readable.
Handy News Reader is a fork of Flym with full text and scores of customisation. It's on the Playstore and f-droid (as Handy Reading).
gReader Pro has been missing from the play store for years, so I've been sideloading the same old APK for ages.
The original one (like 8 years ago) was awesome. It turned into a pile of crap over time.
Newsblur is open-source and has a great interface.
I use aggregator, the only downside for me is not having an option to open links with external browser.
I'm not sure if what I have will be helpful for you, but you might want to try setting up a friendica account, such as on libranet.de, and then using the AndStatus app to access it. Friendica lets you "friend" RSS Feeds, just like you would Lemmy Communities or Mastodon users, posts show in your same timeline. AndStatus is an android app designed to allow you to access social media off-line, syncing with your server as often as you like, or on demand only, allowing you to access the content, including your RSS articles, without having to be connected to the internet.
Have you tried flym yet?
Delayed response, but isn't it no longer supported? Granted, RSS isn't changing much either, but I don't know how well Android handles backwards compatibility with apps.
I'm using it currently, with zero issues, on android 12 and as far back as lollipop.
