* As there is no RSS Reader with push notifications, no matter the operating system, I unfortunately can't recommend an all-in-one tool.
*'''The only option''' if you want to have the ability to recieve notifications on any device/platform is to use '''Slack's RSS integration.'''
* '''NewsBlur''' is coming close to that spot,but their Web notifications aren't working and on their mobile app notifications don't give you any information unless you pay a subscription.
* '''NewsBlur''' is good for RSS reading and also okay for notifications,but their Web ones aren't working and their mobile app notifications don't give you any information unless you pay a subscription.

* 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.
* Another solution fo'''r Web notifications''' is [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 ==
* Use '''Slack''' for all your devices with their '''RSS app''' that send you feed updates via messages on Slack.
* 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 keep the app open at all times. [[Guideline:WikiNotifications:NetNewsWire|NetNewsWire]] also remains as a secondary option for Apple users. Testing NewsBlur I've concluded that sometimes notifications take 30 minutes to be sent out.
* 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]]. That said I've recorded a 4 hour delay for Feedly's extension to send notifications even if I've set its refresh time to 10 minutes.
* [[File:InkedScreenshot 3.jpg|thumb|NewsBlur's Web Extension]]As an alternative for '''Web browsers''' you can also use '''NewsBlur's extension''' to show you the number of unread notifications, but it doesn't come with pop-up notifications, so you will have to pin the extension and take a look at it from time to time. See more on that [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/newsblur-notifier-plus/nbmlfepgaaalffdmmjhpkgpjjlnpjjlp here].
