RSS Feed Won't Display on the Phone

Hey guys another question from me... So I put in an RSS feed into the app (using the correct RSS page) and for some reason it won't load on my phone or tablet. I was able to load it onto the emulator and can see it on the emulator perfectly, but for some reason won't work on my phone or tablet. Please advise! Thanks in advance!

Not sure why it is happening but can you put the RSS feed URL directly in a web browser to confirm that the feed is available?

It just keeps trying to load...I also created a feedburner addon for my blogger account, and that didn't work either...

Hi there MM2000, Are you using v1.5 or v1.4? iOS or Android?

As far as we know the RSS feeds work fine for both iOS and Android for v1.4. There are thousands of v1.4 Android apps out there using RSS feeds. Are you the RSS feed owner? I ask because sometime feeds can be restricted to mobile devices by the owner. Doesn't explain why the feed works on your ipod, but maybe there is some other setting set by the owner that's causing the problem?
