Thank you so much. Finally a decent reader that doesn't get its content from google reader. I dont understand why rss readers seem to have vanished and been replaced by readers that fetch content fetched by google reader. So redundant.

Excellent It might be sparse but is still more feature rich and configurable then the other bloated readers available

i miss time format YYYYMMDD... ...this should be a small thing. the and offline reading would be cool (pendler mit schwankendem empfang im zug) but perhaps this makes a client difficult and fat? so far a lean and good client - after many disapointements. thx, go on stefan!

Perfect This app is the one I was looking for.. It's simple and works well, no preinstalled feeds.

painfully poor Colours are impossible to read! Dark gray on black, dumb. Have to manually input url.

Great app, and sparse is definitely an appropriate name. Just do the job? Not a bad moniker. Does all I want it to do.

Not working for Tsunami-Alert Forgets sometimes RSS messages. Not good, if you not rely on this reader and are dead, because the message did not come to your phone.

Awesome feed manager! Works incredibly well. Only wish is to be able to display more than 10 feeds on the Home Screen Widget, so I could make it my home screen. Maybe have it auto-adjust the number of entries displayed based on how big the user-defined area is and not just a set number of entries full-stop?

Works just as I needed and doesn't want to access unnecessary permissions. A little slow while fetching multiple feeds though.
