Salute to the developer! This is what I'm looking for.The best and simplest RSS reader among the newer apps. Even if was updated a long time ago, it is till working fine in 2020 on my Android Oreo. I really like the costumizable features. I don't mind the design, as long as the app is working and it will satistlfy my needs. Ignore the negative reviews of others, they just don't know how to use RSS properly. Recommended for everyone

Used to be good. Now a bug ridden mess after the developers abandoned it for almost a decade.

Just updated to android 10. It does *not* break this app. If your RSS went blank then just place a new widget and load same settings as you had before. I wish they'd add a donate button in the app, or a separate app one can purchase to say thanks.

Occasionally when I press the refresh button it got stucked and not showing updated news. Can this be resolved? Some news from certain sources cannot see but other can like RSS widget wonder why. Overall is OK.

It could be great app if it able to save and load URLs on local sd. Another missed usable feature is ability to select several but not all feeds to show by "check box".
