I have checked a bunch of RSS readers and haven't found one these meet these three requirements:

1- Show a continuous list of articles with their subjects in a single view. This way I can quickly scan them and decide which ones I want to open and read. I don't want to touch each feed and view its articles. I subscribe to tens of feeds. Don't show any feeds which do not have unread articles. I don't want a list of feeds with a count. This is useless for me if I can't see the article subjects.

2- Be able to mark as read, only the ones that showed on the screen or mark by touching an article and it marks that article and upward to the beginning of the list. This feature was on a WP7 reader and it was very handy. All the Android readers I saw have the 'Mark All As Read' option and it marks all of the articles including the ones I haven't seen yet. Not useful.

3- Integrates and syncs with Google Reader. I read the same feeds on my iPad.

I have Goodnews installed and am very satisfied with it. It is very (!!) customizable in terms of look and feeld and basically features what you ask for. (actually I use it more or less like you want ;) )

1) Simply look at the "All Items" list.

2) You can check "Mark Items out of view as read" (or such - I don't have it here at the moment, so I can't look for the correct wording). This means:

  1. You start at the top of the list of the unread items (I sort them descending by time, starting with the newest and working towards the oldest unread item - but this can also be customized) ;
  2. You scroll down, reading only the item titles (and potentially a short teaser - of customizable length (I use "no teaser", as the title is enough for me in the list)
  3. All items that leave the screen to the top, i.e., you have seen already while scrolling down, are automatically marked as "read". This is a very nice feature in my opinion.

3) Syncs with (and only with) Google reader.

for 1), it shows all feeds with a count of articles and I have to open each feed separately. I don't like that. It has to be single continuous list of all the articles from the different feeds. (I haven't checked the rest of the features.) – Tony_Henrich Aug 2 '12 at 17:41
You are wrong. Under "all items" it shows the sum of all unread items in all feeds, and lists all items from all feeds in one huge scrollable list when you click on it. I use it every day. – Jakob S. Aug 2 '12 at 18:24
