Note : If you are having issues with your feeds disapearing, clear app data, uninstall, and delete any external backup of the like Titanium does. Then Re-install the app.

Confusing.. They REALLY want you to use this in conjunction with Google reader. I didn't want to and attempted to add a cnn feed that was unsuccessful. Uninstalling.
