### 5/5 — Fantastic Watch First App

*2021-10-16*

What a wonderful app! I love watch first apps and this one is fantastic! - I hope it continues to get updates to fully support the Series 7 screen. Super smart app that I can’t recommend enough!

### 5/5 — Simple and amazing

*2020-06-25*

I love that you can import your own RSS feeds into the watch and there is no need for any accounts online 😊

Plus this is the first app I’ve seen that lets you read the article completely from your watch without ever needed phone.

RSS extracted text is easy and clear to read very enjoyable. Works like a reader or news paper mode in web browsers.

Only request is more control over notifications on individual feeds.

### 3/5 — Feedly?

*2020-06-07*

Can you add support for Feedly?

### 5/5 — Tops on the list!

*2020-06-04*

This is one of those “I never review anything reviews” but it’s rare. However WatchFeeds is worthy of praise. Simple and efficient. Works just like it should without a hitch. After an exhaustive search of the smart watch apps, Watch feeds will prove to be at the top of any list for a smart phone apps. Absolutely essential for those who want to fluidly integrate RSS feeds with the Apple Watch. Love it. Bravo ZG.

### 5/5 — Great implementation, but app crashes

*2020-02-16*

Great app, and great developer. Very responsive. App crashes often when I open up a subscription, but theyre trying to fix it.

### 5/5 — Great RSS feed app for Apple Watch

*2019-09-27*

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. You can mange the feeds from the Watch, you can open the full text of an RSS feed and there is also an AW complication so you can see how many unread news items you have. Many many thanks.
