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.
https://github.com/FredJul/FlymJust one more argument against ever using Google Play.
