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

Pretty great. All the others had fatal flaws, but this one works the way you want - scrollable, multiple widgets possible showing different feeds, etc. My one complaint: it wastes a lot of screen real estate putting the date on it's own line and not filling out the content preview line (cutting off after N characters). Fix these issues and it will be perfect.

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.

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.
