Customer Reviews
Just what I needed. One minor complaint
Great app! Exactly what I've been looking for, for quite some time.
My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to sync with my single subscriptions. I have a few subscriptions grouped into a folder within google reader, but the stand alone feeds that I'm subscribed don't get synced. My fix was to just create a new folder for each different feed, and that worked.
I'd also like to have push notifications at some point.
Excellent start!
2 Major problems for me but I still use it!
This app became my RSS reader of choice in less than a minute. Why? Because its FAST, plain and simple. There are 2 major problems that cost it one star apiece from me.
1. The FONTS are great for young eyes. My older eyes really tire with this tiny font. This app really needs the ability to select a larger font. Yes, it costs screen space but some of us just plain need to make that trade.
2. I was unfamiliar with the "Notes" function. I created a "test note" and now I've tried for three days to delete it and it simply won't go away. Very Very annoying. I have no idea if its a bug or just some procedure thats counter intuitive to me but it just doesn't work. I went to their web site to ask how to delete it but there is nothing there but a one page ad.
I WANT to love this thing. Fix these two items and I'll happily give it 5 stars......
Good online not so good offline
I got this app for reading my feeds offline after reading many reviews. Unfortunatly I'm rather disapointed:
1) many of my blogs just don't load up offline even though they are catched. It just shows the 'processong' symbol. Mailed the developer with the details who said he would look into it but never heard back
2). It has sharing features like email and instapaper but these CANT be used offline! Not useful to me on my commutes
I recommend looking at one of the other readers that maybe better if you need offline capabilities. If not this app will work out fine for you.
