Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Home screen and the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes. From anywhere in your device, you'll have access to your own information and actions. Each RSS widget allows you to view any RSS feed in a pleasant and highly customizable way. The refresh frequency can be chosen (from every 5 minutes to every day). You can choose to display the content as a beautiful image with an overlayed text, or as an article with an icon, and the associated text. Articles without an image can be filtered. You can define the number of articles to display in a single widget (from 1 to 6). If necessary, you can also choose the first article to be displayed. Decide to hide or show the image, title, abstract, content and author. Different visual parameters can be changed (such as font name, font size and the different colors). Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets. The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. In Today view: You can add as many widgets as you want and they will be displayed in up to 3 different lists. Those same lists will be available in the Today view and in the application (although it is possible, if you want, to hide some widgets in the Today view). To avoid overloading the Today view, when too many widgets are displayed, an intuitive control will allow you to navigate from one widget to another. Even if the main purpose of the app is to view the widgets in the Today view, it can also be very handy to view them directly in the application (a long press on a widget in the Today view will open it directly in the main application). ## Key features - Customizable Home Screen widgets - Today View widgets - RSS feed display - Configurable refresh frequency - Multiple content display options - Article filtering - Dark mode support ## Recent user reviews (6 of 6) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rss-widget/id885161938/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2025-09-24* This app lets you create widgets for your RSS sources. The widgets display new content in reverse chronological order (newest at the top). The widgets are also fairly customizable. That’s all it does and that’s all it should do. It works well and is very much so worth the 99¢ asking price. The widgets look a little funky by default on iOS 26, but I found this can be fixed by disabling “automatic colors”. ### 5/5 — Works on macOS *2025-03-26* Tested and verified on Sequoia 15.3.2 at the time of the writing this is the latest iteration of macOS and the widget is working fine. Although the widget UI is sin ugly and there is nothing you can do about it, but it’s still useful and it works fine. ### 5/5 — Yep it works. Buy it *2023-07-01* If you want a rss widget that just works you found it. It’s has a ton of options to make it look the way you want. Probably the best one in the App Store. ### 5/5 — Works well so far *2022-10-18* It’s a cheap, simple app that works well. Will update if I have any issues ### 5/5 — RSS widgets without the hassles *2021-12-16* This is a great app for 99 cents. It does exactly what it says, displays content from RSS feeds in customizable widgets, without annoying ads, in-app purchases, or subscription fees. This is how I wish the App Store would work all of the time. If you just want RSS widgets without the hassles, spend a buck and try this. ### 2/5 — Does not recognize RSS links *2021-07-18* If I go to a website on my phones safari browser and select an RSS link it cannot locate an app to import the link to. I have to go to a pc and find the link and manually type it in. Wasted $1 ## Frequently asked questions about RSS Widget ### What is RSS Widget?
