One good thing that you can do before clicking on the BUILD LIVE TILE Button is click on Check Latest Feeds button. This shows the latest feeds filtered by the selected category on the right side of screen, which you can use to check weather, the app is showing the correct feeds or not, plus in a way you’ll have a preview of the live tile. Besides these, clicking on the feed present on the right side, opens that feed in web browser.
