About Droidrops

Droidrops is an Android RSS reader that can handle feeds directly or connect to several self-hosted news services. It supports RSS 1 and 2, Atom, and JSONFeed formats. Users can manage multiple accounts and organize feeds into folders; creating, updating, or deleting feeds depends on whether the connected service’s API supports those actions. The app can synchronize in the background and send notifications about updates. OPML import and export provide a way to move feed lists between readers. It supports connections to FreshRSS, Nextcloud News, and services implementing Fever or Google Reader APIs. Droidrops is a fork of another RSS reader and is intended for users who want to read feeds locally or through an existing synchronized service. The available description mentions an in-app privacy policy but does not specify article caching behavior or which features differ across the supported services. Its combination of local feed parsing, service accounts, synchronization, and OPML supports both standalone feed lists and server-backed reading.
