Please note: The app works with newspaper type rss feeds that are xml based. e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/rss or https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/World.xml

Hi, it's not really a bug as I have not implemented this yet. What you can do is long press on the feed you don't want on the watch and delete it. That way you only keep the entry you want.
