Feedly seems, from my limited exposure to all this, to be the most 
popular/supported option. I use it, and have had no syncing problems so far. 
it's use of "read" as a marker, instead of properly deleting articles, is 
annoying. Still, once you get used to that, it's not a big deal. Just star 
anything you want to keep instead of keeping it as "read", and set your clients 
to clear read items, and there you go.

Readkit was $2 or $3 when I got it, and offered no trial. That may have 
changed, but as Feedly is free, it's a low cost option. Lire might be more now, 
but I got it on sale and the developer is really, really wonderful about 
accessibility support, so I'd pay $10 with no hesitation. Lire even has an area 
in settings where you can decide what VoiceOver speaks in folder or article 
lists. Not what's on the screen, but what VoiceOver says. I once asked if there 
could be a way to do a double tap and hold to mark articles up to the current 
one as "read", and it was there a few weeks later. Basically, Readkit on the 
Mac is fine, but Lire on iOS is one of the best RSS apps I've ever used.
