RSS Feeds / Widget

Can anyone recommend me a few RSS Feeds app / widgets to try?

I like the HTC News widget / app, but the widget seems a bit hit and miss.

I like that Feedr updates regulalry, but the widget is too small for my preferences...so next.

Any ideas?

Whilst looking for a RSS feeder I came across newsroom which has a lovely UI.

Alas though the widget only provides a short cut to the news feed you select.

I have been after a similar thing. I have a ton of RSS feeds that I access on my computer. Ideally what I would like is a full screen widget. That displays the latest entry from any of my feeds. Having a hard time finding one

I use Feedr and it would be nice if different size widgets were available....why not suggest the feature to the author?

Email at the bottom of this link

FeedR - Android RSS Reader

I'm gonna email and request that feature...if they get enough requests then maybe they'll implement...

wondered if anyone has any good sites for feed links? - this seemed a relevant thread.

I used to use Syndic8.com - Welcome to Syndic8.com - RSS Feeds, Atom Feeds
Wondered if anyone else had any they find useful?

edit: just found this http://uk.feedzilla.com/

Does anyone know how to set these up ?

On my old phone you went onto the website on your phone and click RSS feed and it added it.

With Feedr, you either copy and paste the link or use the inbuilt search feature to find feeds
