      • All apps require basic information, such as name, display duration of each post and the RSS URL. You can find RSS URL on your chosen website. Write on google the site name plus “RSS” and you will probably find what you need.
        Most new websites offer different RSS according to the site’s categories (i.e. economy, local, entertainment, etc.). Check New York Times’ RSS list, for example. Select a category and then copy the URL. We have used one of those as example.
