Almost perfect This widget nearly completes the domination of Android Pro Widgets on my home screens. I use it to show only unread items, so there are times when it is empty. This may be a theme issue, but using Modern ICS Dark, the "empty" background is nearly white and doesn't obey the transparency setting. Doesn't look very good vs. using the same dark background that the items would have (including transparency). Also, it would be great to be able to mark an item or all as read without having to open it in Google Reader. Sometimes I know I don't want to read it just by the headline. Otherwise, I love the addition of my Reader feeds on my home screen.

Works great for what it is but can we get it to support other readers like gReader Pro? Or at the very least can the widget itself get a mark all as read button?

Dev notes *** SetiroN - It can't be part of APW because of the Android permissions system *** Regarding more posts: it is not possible with the current Google Reader app implementation. You can see the same behavior in Google's ICS widget.

Depends on Google Reader Forces me to install Google Reader. I already have gReader. There's no. Need for that, use their API!
★★☆☆☆
Inflexible and needs Google reader Was hoping it was a proper rss widget like scrollable news widget
★★☆☆☆
Useless for me Out of the thousands of headlines available in my Reader, this widget will only display 20. What's the point of being scrollable if you can only scroll one page? (Rooted Kindle Fire w/ CM7.2)
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't match other widgets. Why can't I make this widget transparent like my other APW widgets??
