User reviews
First Impressions are that it's exactly what I was looking for. I haven't found an empty feed option but I can live without thay.

I wanted to get the feed article in full through your help file so that I could read the articles offline. When only online, it just shows the web page. After going offline, it searches the content by trying to connect again Please let me know if you could improve it further. And provides the content offline Then I don't have to search one which provides such feature All the best
