RSS Feeds

Hello everyone, Is there a way one can add RSS feeds for both IOS and android? Am I to use the Custom Url plugin? Thanks

For Android, there is no "official" RSS plugin that I am aware of. For iOS, there is at least one, search through the plugins. Some people use sites that specialize in producing RSS feeds, or you may start with Yahoo Pipes. However, Yahoo Pipes changes frequently and may not produce consistent results over time. Overall, using external sites seems to be the answer to your question. And yes, one would expect that RSS feeds should be easily incorporated into Buzztouch apps, but that, at least so far, hasn't been the case.

Thanks for the answer. Will look at the plugin and the sites stated. By the way, do you know of other sites similar to Yahoo Pipes. Thanks.

>do you know of other sites similar to Yahoo Pipes. If you want a more closer look at RSS feeds, here is a somewhat outdated article of mine on my blog: http://www.bestappbuilders.com/blog/rss-feeds-2/creating-apps-with-curated-rss-feeds-from-itunes-facebook-twitter-and-wordpress-blogs/
