Comment on Feeds (Version 0.4.3) by Drew DelloStritto

Drew DelloStritto — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:52:01 +0000

Love the app - having text based feeds that I can read while I’m not in a wifi zone is perfect.

I’d personally like to see some more options - I’d like to choose which feeds are downloaded (all by default), because again, some feeds have a lot of pics/other files that are only valuable while online.

It might also be nice to have a ‘mark read after x seconds’ option, so that while I’m perusing or if I leave the app it doesn’t automatically mark the post as read - if I want to read it I have to go back and choose the option “hide read” look for the post and then go back and switch this option on again.

I’m not sure, but on some posts it only gives partial text followed by a link to the original post (online) - is this the post or is this some setting that could be changed?

Thanks for your time and this great app!

Cheers - Drew

Boris,
It seems that Feeds syncronizes much more faster now. Thank you a lot!

Big fan of feeds, though a couple of requests:

1. The initial view when launching the app really should be the list of feeds, not sure why I need to see the “only unread items” page first.

2. Any change to open selected links in the feeds in Safari (ie externally). Quite a lot I will read a post that links somewhere else, and I prefer to read physical web pages in landscape, not horizontal view.

Otherwise, the best RSS reader on the iphone hands down. Happy to donate!

i notice a bug.
Select a Feed from a site…open it and scroll down the page for read all the news of the site.
Back to the list of feeds, open another and the position of the page with the list of the news isn’t on top but have the position of the last feeds open.

btw is a great piece of software!

@RYan: I’ve been developing Feeds under Ubuntu and don’t have access to a Mac, so unfortunately there will be no version of Feeds using the official SDK. There’s still the chance that Google themselves will release something similiar through the AppStore.

@Mike_Smythe: More advanced syncing (including image synchronization) is something I had planned for quite some time now, but due to lack of time I didn’t get down to working on it at all. It’s possible that I still manage to add this at some point

I agree with Col - Feeds takes a lot time sync’ing. A selective sync or a feed-by-feed sync would be ideal. I’ll donate $20 if we can selectively sync. There must be many of us willing to do so as well.

BTW, are you going to offer Feeds thru the Iphone App Store?

If not, I’ll donate another $40 if you can rig Feeds to save images. Anyone else with me ??? - let’s help Boris out!

How do I use the star button? I starred 1 of my feed’s article but I can’t find anyway to read it afterwards.

Comment on Feeds (Version 0.4.1) by Col

Col — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:21:39 +0000

Feeds definitely needs a “only sync x days/items” per feed, as I’ve noticed the app gets progressively slower as the number of unread items increases.

(I’ve got about 140 feeds, with about 6,700 unread items, taking around 30 mins to sync!)

Christian: That’s true, I had forgotten that some users may have international or unlocked iPhones that don’t have unlimited data usage.

Anyways, for the record, I do use Feeds as well. The Google Reader when I have wi-fi access, and Feeds when I know I won’t.

Fantastic. It would be great if it could download images for offline viewing too. That’s why I’m using it, download RSS at home for reading on the tram. No WiFi on my tram I’m afraid

Jofi: You have to be online to use the “official” google reader for iphone.

There are countries where gprs/edge data rates are extremely expensive.

A program like this is great because you can sync your feeds at the office, at home or on a public hotspot and forget about paying 6 us dlls per megabyte.

@selbs: in my iPhone (also in Portuguese) I changed the “asian font” to Chinese and it worked!

Hi,
I have an issue.

If the iPhone’s language is unsupported application language, Feeds revert to Japanese as default.

I have to setup my iPhone in english for Feeds in english.

Maybee, English would be default language…

Anyway, Good Works

it would be awesome if we could ADD TAGS to items (of course this would necessitate 2-way sync)

It would be better if has ‘keep feeds for x day’ and sync auto features.

@Francois thanks, I also changed the asian font from Japanese to chinese and it solved the problem.
( I wonder why we are only 2 to have that kind of problem)

I’m using the 0.4.1 for 2 weeks and it’s great, just need the images in the feeds and it will be perfect

Excellent app, good update! One request, and I’m sure you’ve heard it before: A share/send-to link.

A send-to option alone would eliminate the need for any other RSS reader. It’s a rather important feature for myself, and likely others. I tend to email important links to myself for later viewing.

Even an ‘open in safari’ link would do, although far less elegantly.

I have to say; with each new feature update, Feeds is becoming a must-have app for the iPhone!

Thank you,
-Michael.
