Absolut unterirdisch! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-11-09* Crashes when opened, completely useless! ### 1/5 — Meh *2016-02-03* Horrible interface. Breaking News app is far better. ### 1/5 — Not stable *2014-10-22* Cannot update the news feed and it's very unstable. ### 1/5 — News Widget Review *2014-10-09* Extremely flaky program.

Great news app! Scrollable & customizable today widget with featured photos makes news updating a brisk. You can set how many is displayed and how often the app will fetch from your chosen sources. You can even add feeds manually. Def must have for news junkies! ### 5/5 — Hi *2014-10-01* No bbc Farsi Persian ### 4/5 — Nice rss for notification center *2016-02-12* This is free, lightweight rss reader with great functionality. Its fast with nice gui, you can add your own rss feeds and it can read them out loud to you. I would like to see that the rss feed icons in notification center could be manually arranged and resized to user wishes. Its free :) ### 4/5 — Legal *2014-11-12* É um widget interessante. Dá pra consultar algumas notícias sem precisar abrir os sites. ### 3/5 — Does not open ios14.2 *2020-11-18* I’ve had a love hate with this app love the options but if loaded up a lot with feeds works slow and is cumbersome. The widget included with app is super nice. In iOS 14.2 it does not open at all. ### 2/5 — Good idea but regularly crashes *2014-10-20* 2 mins of use and crashes every 30 secs or so, even just loading a couple of default feeds. Try adding your own and its a definite hang/crash. ### 2/5 — Ne marche pas *2014-10-12* Message de bug dans l'application. Ajouter son propre rss ne marche pas. J'ai desinstallé. ### 2/5 — Need Fix *2014-10-05* Widget does not update with new news. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
