The app (using the widget) works well, just wish it had a few customization options, specifically font size and number of words/rows per article (so I don't have to click through each one)
★★★★☆Droid Blank· Mar 21, 2025
Been looking for a transparent RSS widget for ages. This is almost ok. If the widget can be displayed per feed source, and show clickable titles only, that will be a win. I'm definitely checking updates on this!
