I don't understand WHY you have to type in a monstrously long URL into your phone to get this to a wearable. IF you don't have to do that....then HOW DO you get new RSS feeds into the phone to send to the wearable? I don't see any "help" button on this app. I'm willing to pay for this, but right now I don't see it's usefulness. All I can get is the 3 sample feeds. Surely... surely, you've made it easier than this. I'm looking for the "grab RSS feeds button' so I can go to a site and grab the URL
This app turned out to be exactly as awesome as I hoped it would be. Gives you enough text of the article to let you decide if it's one you're interested in reading in full on your phone at a later time. It's great to get a heads up and stay connected with what you're interested in on the go. Additionally, the developer was very quick and detailed with a response to me regarding an issue I was facing. Always great to see devs that actually care what people think of their app. Pocket support is awesome!!
Given that the BBC news app doesn't work on my Huawei watch, I went looking for an alternative. RSS seemed like a good approach. Tried others which were problematic and chose this little gem. Works well on my wearable. Love it.
The app is perfect and does exactly what I wanted. The only problem is I even though I have it set to sync every three hours, have to sync it manually by going on to my phone. I'm using the LG urbane watch.
"Unfortunately WearRSS has stopped" my Huawei watch says about 60% of the time
Every time I try to add a feed the app closes and doesnt respond.
Just bought the app bundle for android wear. Every time I try to add a feed, the app crashes. I would like a refund please. If it worked it would awesome, but it doesnt
Does not sync automatically. And have to add sources by copying and letting the app add it, or the app crashes.
I love the concept. But the app crushes when adding rss so I can't get to use it
If you fancy reading headlines on your androidwear this is what you are looking for. Does exactly what it says, and does it well. Only caveat is that maybe once in 5 times it force closes on opening, but works flawless afterwards. I will not remove a star for this.
Works great, but crashes when I choose read later.
Sony xperia z ultra + Sony smartwatch 3: when I click on read later the app crashes. otherwise cool as I can set my own news feed on the smartwatch
Only works on the watch, when I select to read the rest on the phone it crashes, so kind of useless unless you want to read a few sentences only?:-( Disappointed
Multiple crashes with different news feeds.
I would like to see an option to dismiss news you have already read. At the moment there is no way to get back to the first article without swiping 20+ times
With the latest version it became impossible to read cyrillic... Any clue on it?
Must use a link to an actual file. Some rss feeds don't make that public (Slashdot for example)
When I try to open the app on my moto360 it just says "unfortunately wearss has stopped".
5 stars when I can kill the adds.
With the addition of the read later and long press to close options, this app is now perfect! Thanks for a great addition to my watch! Love it!
This app is good, but it isn't showing up on my watch
But I'd pay to get rid of the advertisement. Would it be possible to read the full article on the watch unlike reading them on the phone and would it be possible to view pictures related to the headlines on the watch?
Works well on LG G watch. No problem adding feeds, since I actually looked at the name of the app I was downloading & realized that I would need sites' RSS feeds, instead of installing without reading anything and rating 1 star because I'm a doofus who downloads RSS readers without knowing what a RSS is, makes no attempt to learn by looking @ the help tab or Googling it, and instead gets mad that the RSS reader won't let me add regular non-RSS URL's (Yeah I'm looking at you, Bill)
It needs the ability to be able to open the full article on the phone. Most things are just cut off mid sentence with no way to continue reading the article. Update: Dev says this is coming in the next update, looking forward to that!
Good work, basically the only RSS reader I use. Android Authority referred me here, so thank them! Update: would like to see ability to read the entire feed on the watch (perhaps phone app setting) or at least the ability to open the feed from the watch, on the phone with your Internet browser/rss reader. Yes, I know it was only intended for headlines, but still I would like this feature.
I missed having RSS feeds since moving to AW from Pebble. Thank you so much. I really like how the full articles are changed by swiping across the screen. I find your app very easy to use. Good work!
Neat app with a unique spin on viewing news/ rss feeds... The icon is very cleaver too.
Crashed every time i tried to add a RSS
For the last time! Really nice app but needs to work on reliability, roughly 70% of the time when opening from the notification, it just gives the error and shuts down. Uninstalled. Sony z3 & moto 360 1st gen
