I've been using this app for years with no issues except until today. It's no longer displaying my favorite feeds no matter how many times I tried. Very disappointed.
App worked great until couple of days ago, now it says "No RSS feed available", even though I can open the feed in another RSS feed reader, both on Android and on Weekdays. Tried everything (recreating/reinstalling, it doesn't matter). If this issue is to be resolved, app deserves 5 stars.
Great app, but needs a little love. I have used this app for years, and no other rss widgets comes close to this one. However it's getting a bit long in the tooth, the code base needs some love to make it play nice with modern Android, and the settings UI could be a little more user friendly with a few tweaks. I wish the developer would find the time to keep this app up to date with modern Android, so we can keep enjoying this great app.
