There's an app for that!
I just went to the App Store app on my iPhone (or iPod), typed in "rss feed" and lots of options showed up.
Interestingly, if you are running iOS 9, Apple's new News app is foremost among the offerings.
On a Mac since 1984.
Currently: 24" M1 iMac, M2 Pro Mac mini with 27" BenQ monitor, M2 Macbook Air, MacOS 14.x; iPhones, iPods (yes, still) and iPads.

Of course I am not running IOS 9, that would mean using the latest operating system. I believe that all it adds is Apple Music streaming.
Sifting through the App Store? Really? Can anyone recommend one?
Can an administrator change the name of this string to iPad and not iPod? My bad.

Sifting through the App Store? Really? Can anyone recommend one? It all depends on you to find one that works for you. There are ways to try apps out, A lot offer a free version (usually with limited functionality) and a full featured Pro (a.k.a. pay) version, others are free with "in app purchase" for added features/functionality, and still others offer limited versions if you click on the link to their web site. Sorting the offerings by customer rating can help, but I find most popular to be a more reliable indicator of good apps.

I downloaded NewsKiosk and cannot get it to work. I mostly want the feed from FTM. Is there an App for that?

Take a look at the News app that is built into iOS 9.

I mostly want the feed from FTM. Is there an App for that? I am not aware of an app to provide an RSS feed from FineTunedMac. If you like, you can set up Watch Lists for one or more forums here. FTM provides a Reader Dashboard Widget if you want to work from your MacBook Pro. I have not installed a Dashboard app on my iPad so I have no recommendations. Of course I am not running IOS 9, that would mean using the latest operating system. I believe that all it adds is Apple Music streaming. See: What's new in iOS 9.
Back up everything you can't afford to lose: documents, mail, movies, music, photos, and other data and settings.

Ok, so I installed ios9 and have the news app. How do I get the RSS feed from FTM that I was getting on my MBP?

So, I guess there is no way to get an RSS feed from certain forums like I was able to do on my MBP? My back surgery did not completely solve my problem and it is still difficult to sit at my desk and i would rather be using the iPad for most things because it is easier to move around. It's the reason I bought it.
