Thank you much Rob. Next question. Would I have to pay for the feeds? Are they added within Simple RSS? Oh just so much for this baby boomer to learn! (smiles) Reggie

The collection is dynamic, so old ones roll off the end and new roll on at the beginning. This is like magazine browsing, this is what makes them good. Saves ploughing through a whole site looking for the odd links amongst the dross and ads.

Pardon my ignorance, what are these feeds? Do you have to pay for them?

The app is not without its fair share of annoyances; you can't import from OPML files and you can't sync with Google Reader, only import from it. Where the app shines though is its amazingly fast push alerts for new articles. In my experience the lag is well under fifteen minutes and probably closer to five, which rivals paid apps which can often take an hour or two to provide the latest "push" alert. My Windows 8 PC is set to refresh every fifteen minutes, and Simple RSS's push alerts are beating it every time. It's pretty simple, easy to navigate, and has decent sharing features.
