Apparently, all RSS readers are banned on Google Play:

> Google added some restrictions to news app and I don't see how Flym (and other RSS aggregators) could comply to that. For instance, Flym cannot provide a "valid and verifiable contact information" for the feed, nor it can assure that "each of the sources must meet News policy requirements".

> **_As of today, Flym updates on Play Store are blocked by Google._ So I have archived this project in order to clearly show that I won't maintain it anymore.** I'm not aware of any official way of publishing an RSS client on PlayStore and do not have motivation to argue with Google.

Just one more argument against ever using Google Play.
