About RSSWidget
This app provides widgets that can show contents of one or more RSS feed (atom and xml) on your home screen.
It is heavily inspired by the app "Pure news widget" 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.
It allows for selection of multiple feed sources, styling (font size and color) and selection of update intervals.

What’s new
Version 1.6.1 · Updated August 23, 2026
HTML codes in feed entry titles are now transcribed correctly. Duplicate feed entries are properly handled and no longer cause missing content, ensuring every feed entry - even from overlapping sources - displays
User reviews
I used Pure News Widget for more than a decade. This is its worthy successor.
