Some noticeable features:

Last but not least:
You can also add CUSTOM FEEDS by opening the navigation drawer. There You can click the add button from the Toolbar, compile the dialog text fields, et voilà! The feeds will be added to a sqlite database and the listview will be updated dynamically. You can also delete them if You want by long clicking on them, the sqlite database and the listview will be updated
NOTES (Please Read):
-
NOTE: It is highly recommended to use the feedburner service to burn feeds, and enable "Convert format burner" service inside Optimize tab and select "Convert feed format to: RSS 2.0" to ensure the best compatibility.
