So, why do I review this app? Well, not because it is great by itself - it's little more than an RSS reader wrapped in an app generated (look ma, no coding!) by follow my feed service (also, young Skywalker, you can have your own Windows Phone app if you only sign up and submit such generated-from-RSS app to Microsoft's app hub - no need to worry about app rejection as Microsoft now is so needy that it accepts any app no matter...
