== Final Thoughts ==
* As there is no app that can be used for both Web and Mobile, no matter what operating system I unfortunately can't recommend an all-in-one tool.
* NewsBlur is coming close to the only app that can notify you on any platform, but their Web notifications aren't working after I've tested them on Chrome and Firefox.
* Therefore '''the only option''' if you want to have the ability to recieve notifications on any device/platform is to use multiple apps.
* For IOS and MacOS NetNewsWire is a great option, the only downside being that if you force close it ( by swiping up) it won't be able to send push notifications on IOS, making it a must to always have it running in the background.
* For Android, IOS and Web reading NewsBlur is also great. Notifications are working well, expect for Web. It also comes with Email notifications.
* For '''Web notifications''' the only solution is installing [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/feedly-notifier/egikgfbhipinieabdmcpigejkaomgjgb Feedly's Chrome Extension]. Notifications work well for Chrome, but are also available for other browsers.
== My recommendation ==
* For '''Android and IOS users''' I recommend using [[Guideline:WikiNotifications:NewsBlur|NewsBlur]] as its notifications are the most reliable and you don't have to always keep the app open. [[Guideline:WikiNotifications:NetNewsWire|NetNewsWire]] also remains as a secondary option for Apple users.
* For '''Web browsers''' I recommend using [[Guideline:WikiNotifications:Feedly|Feedly]]'s browser extension. You can check out my guide on how to enable it and start recieving '''web notifications''' [[Guideline:WikiNotifications:Feedly#How to add Web notifications from Feedly using Chrome Extensions|here]].
