RSS Widget

About this app

100% Ads-Free!

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.

Ratings and reviews

App no longer works. I put in a bunch of RSS links, gave it an appropriate header, set the update interval to a half hour, and nothing shows. I refreshed several times, nothing. I've used many RSS widgets, and even this app on the past... and they all worked, so I'm about 100% sure it's not "user error" on my part. I'm using an LG X Charge with android 7.0.

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.

If you are finding that the widget isn't working correctly it may be due to having battery saver turned on. To fix this go to Apps > Choose "All" from drop-down > Select RSS Widget > Battery > Optimise Battery > Unselect "Optimise". This will ensure even with Battery saver on it will continue to function correctly. (Fix definitely works for Android 9)
