## Description

This app provides widgets that can show contents of one or more RSS feed (atom and xml) on your home screen.<br>It is heavily inspired by the app &quot;Pure news widget&quot; by  Francois Deslandes, which is sadly not available on the play store anymore. RSSWidget is a modernized remake of this app with the features that I use the most.<br>It allows for selection of multiple feed sources, styling (font size and color) and selection of update intervals.
