Inoreader does this web and Android/Apple clean controls and responsive UI.

Paid version has a ton of enhancements including trending things among other users.

Newsblur in desktop web browser, 36 USD / year

It has a FLOSS version and a more limited free version hosted by them, but the 2.5 GBP / month was worth the QoL increase for me.

Currently, I use Newblur for subscribing to feeds and then link it with other RSS apps. (The NewsBlur mobile app is terrible.)

I use https://miniflux.app/. It's pretty small, costs $15/year. I do this because I want to keep my feed status across different devices.

I'm not perfectly happy with it. Perhaps it's a bit too minimal. When I subscribe to an aggregate like Hacker News, it pretty much floods my feed and I get swamped.

If anyone has a slightly better alternative in mind, I'd be happy to hear.

Android: Read You

Is it available from an app store? I only found the apk on GitHub but I'd rather not update manually.

It’s available on F-droid not sure about playstore.
