Read You

Read You is an Android RSS reader focused on a clean reading queue, local subscriptions and article organization. This page covers feed discovery, refresh schedules, offline reading, import and backup practices.

Version 0.16.2Android 8.0+Open-source project license; feed content keeps its publisher terms

What Read You provides

Read You organizes RSS or Atom feeds into a readable Android queue, with categories, refresh controls and offline article access. It is a feed reader rather than a content host: publisher availability, article licensing and the quality of each feed remain separate from the application.

Feed and reading management

Start with a few stable feeds, assign categories that match actual reading tasks and set refresh intervals around the device battery budget. Keep an export of subscriptions before changing the feed list, and use offline storage deliberately because images can consume space.

GUIDE

Read You Android feed and offline reading guide

Add one reliable feed, verify refresh and article rendering, then organize categories and backup the subscription list before importing more feeds.

Before you start

  • Prepare a short list of feeds and the categories in which you want to read them.
  • Decide how much offline storage and background refresh the device can afford.
  • Keep an export location separate from the application cache.
01

Installation steps

  1. 01

    Install and open the reader

    Install the Android package, review notification and network permissions, and open the empty feed list to confirm the language and reading layout.

  2. 02

    Add and test one feed

    Add a known RSS or Atom feed, refresh it manually and open one article to check title, images, links and date handling.

  3. 03

    Set categories and refresh

    Create a few useful categories, choose a refresh interval and disable background work for feeds that do not need frequent updates.

02

Quick start

  1. 01

    Build a reading queue

    Mark a small set of articles for later, clear stale items weekly and keep the queue aligned with real reading tasks.

  2. 02

    Check offline behavior

    Save one article, switch to an offline state and confirm text and required images are available before saving a large batch.

  3. 03

    Export subscriptions

    Export the feed list after the first successful setup, name the backup by date and verify that it can be imported into a clean profile.

Usage tips

  • Feed refresh frequency affects battery, network use and publisher load; choose a practical interval rather than the shortest one.
  • Some feeds provide only summaries or change their structure; compare another feed before treating one article as a reader defect.
  • Keep private feed URLs and authenticated subscriptions out of public exports.
Troubleshooting and uninstall

Why is a feed empty after adding it?

Check the feed URL, network access, parser compatibility and publisher response, then compare a second known feed to separate a source issue from reader settings.

Why did offline images disappear?

Check storage permissions, cache cleanup and the feed's image policy. Save a short article again before increasing the offline retention window.

  1. Export subscriptions and notesSave the feed list and any reading notes, then confirm that the export opens in a separate reader or backup folder.
  2. Remove local dataUninstall Read You through Android settings and clear its cache only after confirming that offline articles are no longer needed.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Read You host article content?

It reads and organizes feeds from publishers. Availability, article text and licensing remain controlled by each feed source.

Can subscriptions be migrated?

Export the feed list, verify the file in a clean profile and import in small batches so malformed or private feeds can be identified.

Does the download require an extraction code?

The Quark entry does not require one; the four-character code for the Baidu entry is shown beside its download entry.
