It took Google a while before they released a RSS Reader app. Only releasing it in December 2010. Right from the start Google have already incorporated nearly all the features other RSS apps offer, creating a solid base to further improve upon in the future. The Google Reader has in record time become one of the most popular RSS readers established.
