Getting widget to show was clunky, feed settings kept resetting, thankful saved custom config. By time it displayed, settings button showed FIVE options for setups, and couldn't see a way to remove any extras. After seeing CNN articles all over feed, removed CNN and the default feeds listed, keeping only my custom ones, refreshed, still seeing floods of CNN, and few of my custom feeds. Protip: Upon adding widget to desktop, hit back arrow, let it display and set, then launch app for config.

Works great on my Note 20 Ultra currently on Andriod 10. It's fast and responsive. Easy to add feeds and easy to tweak the appearance as you like. The only thing is thumbnail images don't really show up. Maybe 1 in 100 headlines will show image. Not a big deal since you can turn them off.

The most pleasant looking RSS feed widget on the market. However, on some phones got the "no data available" message after a few hours, and nothing loads. I have to delete the widget, add it again, load back from a saved config file, and everything works - for a while, then nothing loads again. This happens more on some phones (Infinix Note 12) than others (Mi max 2). The last update to this app was in 2013, which was said to have addressed this issue. Hope it gets another update.
