Simple RSS Widget Customer Insights

1. Well done dev.Getting widget to show was clunky, feed settings kept resetting, thankful saved custom config.

2. This widget works perfectly for one of them; on the next one images are not reflected; on the 3rd one images are not shown, and date is not getting picked up so the feeds are not in chronological order.

3. However neither the website nor the email address provided by the dev work anymore, so I thought I'll take my chances and post here.The most pleasant looking RSS feed widget on the market.

4. Recently upgraded to 11 and an rss type widget (glass widgets) stopped working that I'd been relying on for years.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. I realise that the app hasn't been updated since 2013 and the last time the developer responded to a comment here was also in 2013.

8. Protip: Upon adding widget to desktop, hit back arrow, let it display and set, then launch app for config.i used this app for years and liked it a lot.

9. Super disappointed.Occasionally when I press the refresh button it got stucked and not showing updated news.

10. Can this be resolved? Some news from certain sources cannot see but other can like RSS widget wonder why.

11. now it stopped showing the selected feeds, sometimes showing news from june 2018.
