When Google Reader announced its closure, a race began to see which service could become the news aggregator most used in the world. In a total way, Feedly became the most used feed service. Today we have run out Feedly. These are 4 high-level alternatives.
Feedly may be back to normal tomorrow. However, what is clear is that many of us today did not have access to the service we used to read information on the Internet. Some of us have been lucky enough to export the list of feeds, and move it to other services. What are the best alternatives to Feedly? Here we propose four services that could relieve Feedly. To switch to any of these services, it is only necessary to export the list with all subscriptions, something we can do from the Feedly settings.
The Old Reader
It will probably be preferred by users. Basically, this is a service that tries to be what Google Reader was before the service change was announced. However, today it already includes really interesting new functions, such as Spritz, the system that was capable of increasing the reading speed. A system that, by the way, came to Android through these applications that we already talked about. For those who have a large number of subscriptions and want to be able to manage around 1.000 articles per day, this is probably the best option. It is very easy to differentiate the amount of unread news from each blog. Despite having a very basic interface, with a white background, they use colors to highlight the titles of the blogs, something that allows us to work with The Old Reader in a very clear way. It could be an alternative to Feedly, even permanent.
It does not have an official application, although gReader can be used as an Android app, which we will talk about now.
Digg Reader
Digg was not a feed reader, but it was a service used all over the world to locate what was being talked about on the Internet. However, with the news of the closure of Google Reader, they decided to launch an application that could replace the popular Google Reader service. They launched Digg Reader, with applications for Android and iOS, and it is one of the best options to take over from Feedly. Basically, we are left with the simple interface of Digg Reader, which makes it one of the best options. The best thing is that it has a web interface and also mobile apps. It is probably one of the most complete applications.

GReader
The application was completely based on Google Reader. Therefore, when the latter announced the closure, gReader had to find a way to survive. However, that also made most of the competition disappear. gReader is one of the best feed apps available for Android. It is even compatible with Feedly and The Old Reader, so if we have an account in these two services, we can continue using gReader as the app to view the feeds of the subscriptions that we have in the other services.

Press
Press is not a feed aggregation service, but it is a client for feed aggregation services. One of them is Feedly, although it also works with three others. The best we can do is choose to have an account on several of these services, with the same blog subscription lists. If one of the services goes down, we just have to switch from one to the other, although we will continue to use the same interface. Of course, Press is paid, and costs 2,25 euros.
