iPhone-Feeds (Version 0.1 Alpha)
While I haven’t been working on my Google Reader-based news reader for the iPhone (uncreatively named «iPhone-Feeds») over the last two weeks, I finally got back to it on Monday. Though it’s still not a finished application, I guess it’s time for an Alpha version to find out whether it actually runs on other iPhones with possibly different Firmware versions.
How to Install
In your Installer.app, add the repository http://424f.com/iphone/repository. After refreshing the repositories, you should find an entry «Feeds» in the category «Network». Install it like every other App. When you start it for the first time, the settings dialogue will automatically appear and prompt you for your username and password. After that you can now synchronize with Google Reader and download all those witty blog entries.
What’s missing?
- Synchronization works only one way — while changes made on the Google Reader website are reflected correctly on the iPhone, it currently does not work the other way around. This is the most important feature planned for the next version.
- There’s no folder view, so if you have a lot of different feeds, the feed list might look quite messy.
-
x — feel free to tell me what the value of x is and chances are that it won’t be missing anymore in a future version

Hey Boo,
nice work.
Just tested your iphone-feeds app on my iphone (Version 1.1.2) and works fine.
One feature request from me: Could you add the option to open the news-feed in the safari browser, so that I can read the full story? That would be nice.
Roman (who is just sitting next to me) couldn’t get your application to work (Version 1.1.3)

Oh!Oh! It will quit to the springboard after sync the first article. My iphone is 1.1.3 with Chinese version. But it will back to normal afer I change the international setting to English. Can it be solve with this problem?
Thanks!!
I have 1.1.4 and it tries to synchronize but then dies out to the homesceen after about thirty seconds. I’ve been waiting for an apps like this. I would love to see it finalized.Thanks!
it would be awesome if we could ADD TAGS to items (of course this would necessitate 2-way sync)
How can I delete itens that I have read from my IPhone?
