RSS Central

A full featured direct feed RSS reader that does not require a Feedly, or NewsBlur account. Works well under Windows Phone 10. Could use the ability to display headlines on live tiles.

For a task that seems simple, it's tough to find a good RSS reader. This is the best one I've found in the app store. I really like the flexibility to download just summaries and open the articles in a browser when I choose. The other options for sorting, showing unread items, etc. may seem trivial, but I find them essential as well.

I tried it on free trial then bought it (without opportunity for refund, might I add), and found out it wouldn't stop displaying the nag screen. Also, if there are any broken feeds in your collection it will bork the feed update progress and cause it to stall indefinitely until cancelled. I have been in contact with the developer and he promises fixes, but not for a while. I am left with no choice but to give it a bad rating for the time being.

Using this on a Nokia 520 (no SIM card, WiFi only) running Win 8.1 in the USA with no problems. This was the first time I ever used an RSS reader app and I have had no difficulty working it. It's very easy to find and add feeds - and to remove them if they aren't to your liking. The options for controlling downloads, notifications, etc. are convenient especially if you're like me and want control over when the news updates and notifications. I trialed it and then bought the paid version to support the developer. No ads. Syncing the new feeds is done quickly, and I haven't had a problem using the links to the full stories. I'm finding using this app is a very quick and easy way to get a quick overview of the latest news on the topics and areas of the world that I'm interested in. It's a great app and definitely worth getting.

feeds do not refresh

Best!

No longer uses full screen when expanding articles. Hasn't been updated in quite a while. Looking for an app that syncs between devices. - Still the only reader I use on both Windows Phone and Surface Pro 4. - Great reader. Best I've tried. Highly recommend.
