Tired of unnecessarily complex widgets taking up too much space on your phone? Here is the solution.
A very simple, clean and easy-to-use widget to present RSS feeds on your home and/or lock screen. It does what it's meant to do, taking up minimal fraction of your phone's memory.

Multiple RSS feeds can be conjoined in a single widget and supports transcripts from right-to-left.

NOTE: This is a widget, not a regular app to launch. Please do not give low rating because you are unable to find the app in launcher. It is supposed to be included as a widget on your home/lock screen.

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.
