Yes, the next version will support Readability.

It was with .mp3 extension at the beginning. For some reason (which I don't remember right now) I changed it to .pcast and stays as is.

As markpud said, you should be able to rename the extension to .mp3 without breaking anything in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to find another happy user.
[Android Apps and Games] Koying:
Any hope you might consider adding a preference for this?
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Now that I'm on ICS, I see many apps with a big ... menu button at the bottom of the screen. I guess it relates to apps built for the older versions of Android..

Just wondering how easy it is to get rid of it, especially on the podcast player (see pic)? :)

I would also really like to troubleshoot why my podcast player likes to spontaneously close mid-playback as it's really annoying, and this is the 2nd device it happens on so I think that makes it more likely to be the software than the device? Anything I can do to help resolve this, as it really annoys me!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] nanny07:
Is there any possibility to implement the "readability mobilizer" service instead of the Instapaper's one?

I tried both, but IMHO readability is the best to mobilize the content (photo, text ecc...)

I'll leave you the link:

[Android Apps and Games] LSC Software:
I like it!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I will look into this, but I cannot tell when as I'm busy with doing other stuff.

Yes, I'm adding the readability mobilizer to the next release along with the support for saving articles in readability.

Glad to know this. :) Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
It's already fixed for the next release; I need a couple of days to iron out the bugs before the release.

I have to work with you to identify the cause of the issue as I couldn't reproduce it myself. Does the player get killed by the memory manager (do you use custom LMK)? Can you get me the logcat when this happens next? I won't be able fix it for the next release though; This will be my next thing after this release.
[Android Apps and Games] nanny07:
thanks for the support, great work!

Readability

Another huge vote for Readability sharing here!

Just purchased PRO and gave app 5 star rating.

Well done with the app.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
You may not need to wait too long; I have (hopefully) fixed this issue in the coming release. :)
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Hi.. I only have TasKiller Pro on the device and D7 is on the exclude list so it "shouldn't" be affecting it...

I can't get a logcat without root can I? Still not got round to rooting my new toy :)
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Great news, thanks :)

D7 Google Reader / D7 Reader Pro 2.0

Here is the new version with some UI changes, new features and many bug fixes. This took a long time and I hope the new version is worth the wait.

Change log:

UI redesign including GMail like action bar

Full screen mode for article view - double tap to toggle full screen (PRO only)

Visual indication of swiping in article list

Animation for moving between articles in article view

Support to save articles to Readability (install Readability app or credentials in preferences)

Added Readability mobilizer

Fix for interruption when Podcast Player or download runs for longer period.

Many bug fixes

And more

As usual please let me know your feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
bug:

- in article view enable share bar, then double-tap -> share bar stays floating. should be hidden as well or moved to the bottom of the screen

suggestions:

- make share bar fade in like the other toolbars instead of sliding it in from the left

- in black theme make the background and the toolbar backgrounds solid black instead of the hardware acceleration gradient for better contrast while reading (like in Pocket app)

- in article view scroll the top toolbar with the article and on double-tap fade in only the bottom one (like in Pocket app)

- the g+, facebook, twitter icons are all low quality. feel free to use the higher quality ones i previously shared here. for pocket I'd go for the simple version of their icon which is just the pocket without the white box around it as it's better recognizable at that size. also the green share button i'd replace with just the android share icon

Edit:

Still unsure about the decision which buttons to put in which toolbar. Currently on top toolbar there's star and unread which are both related to the status of the article. in bottom bar there's tags which is also status, the other three are actions. Do from that standpoint a 3-3 split would make sense. Them again if you go by which buttons are used often and should be placed in bottom bar (it's easier to access when using the phone one handed, especially on large phones) you'd probably place feed/web view, star, keep unread, ril/readability in bottom bar.

Ps: loving the blue feed name text, much better than the old grey.
[Android Apps and Games] dbaybay:
Love the new update today, it's pretty sexy. Trying to figure out where everything is still, big changes.

CAN YOU PLEASE bring back the globe that mobilized an article though to a one click button? It's annoying to have to go to the action bar then mobilize. I use d7 Pro everyday to skim like 300+ articles and it was so nice just tapping that globe before.

Excellent as always though and the only reader I've ever needed :D Smoother than hell now too!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Great feedback as usual. Thanks for your support!

I will consider your suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the feedback and support!

It's still there, but moved down as it's a very frequently performed action (check out the icon just before the next arrow). You could change mobilizer or do more using the overflow action (top right).
[Android Apps and Games] dbaybay:
AH! You are a boss man.

This update is now officially perfect :D
[Android Apps and Games] RubenRybnik:
Nice app start, but I think I'm spoiled coming from Reeder app on the iPad. It had such a beautiful interface, and one of the main features I look for in an app is good swipe to read / star option. This app supports that but most of the time my swipes are not detected, and when they are there is a big delay before the swipe activity gets shown in the UI. Also, I haven't tried it on a tablet, but if it doesn't have it then a "pretty but functional" tablet UI is also key.

Fix the swipe issues, and add a swipe animation( simply allowing the article list item to move left and right with an icon shown behind the article is perfect ), and make swipe actions instantaneous and I'll gladly pay for the app. Hell I'd even donate to the developer as well as pay for the app to actually get an RSS reader that has this functionality working perfectly and performant.

Sent from my AOKP'd Transformer Prime OC'd at 1.8ghz
[Android Apps and Games] nanny07:
I'm coming from Reeder too, but I can swear you that this is the android app that is closest

The only thing that I miss is the fluidity of Reeder and his velocity.

Btw this is my favorite rss app :)

EDIT: and thanks for the update with readability mobilizer support!
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Here's my 2p on the new version :)

I like the layout tweaks, but I miss the pop up thing on podcast posts.. Now if I browsing in full screen mode I can't tell there's a podcast to download (unless the item mentions it lol). But that's the only thing I can criticise :D

I am playing a podcast now, will report back on the stability of the player after a few days :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, didn't think about it; thanks for pointing this out. I will fix it in the next version.

Thanks for your support in testing the fix. I'm waiting for your result. :)
[Android Apps and Games] RubenRybnik:
I just started using Just Reader. Just Readers swipe implementation is flawless, Dev should take a look at it just to see what I'm talking about.

Please don't think I'm bashing this app, just providing some constructive criticism
[Android Apps and Games] dbaybay:
I'd prefer D7 for ANDROID over some reader app for the iPad any day. This app is flawless and gets better with every iteration. If you miss the features of your iPad app so badly, here's a tip - go get your iPad back?
[Android Apps and Games] RubenRybnik:
lol ... very constructive... Obviously just because I don't like that I can't find a comparable app for one function doesn't mean I prefer the iPad over my Transformer Prime, don't be such a snob. Both OS's have strengths in some areas, Android is my preference, but that doesn't mean it has or does absolutely everything better than the iPad( just does about 98% of things better than the iPad lol )
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your feedback. I never say no to any constructive feedback from users who want to continue using my app.

My app is an Android app and it's been done according to Android design standards. I'm sure I will not make any iOS like UI stuff in here.

If you like another app, please leave a comment or donate to th dev to encourage him. But, please don't bring in any discussion of comparing with another app (which has a thread within XDA) here. We devs want to live peacefully :).

Hung trying to get credentials

Just in case someone experiences something similar, as I have not found it already reported on thread. Sorry, if it is.

I changed my phone to a Samsung Galaxy Note with Stock ROM 2.3.6, and I have installed D7 Reader Pro from scratch. Tried to start and get stuck in the popup screen saying 'Sign in...'. For some reason, the application was not able to show the window to authorize the use of my Google credentials.

I have tested it with previous version, actual one, rebooting, clearing cache, dalvik... and no luck.

To make a long story short, appeared it was caused by having phone configured to use Spanish language.

After setting phone language to English, the credentials screen appeared and the use was granted.

Reverted back to Spanish and no issues anymore.

Hopefully, this explanation will provide information enough to fix the issue, and at least it will provide a workaround for other users to try it, in case a similar issue happen to them. I am sure it is not a Spanish setup specific issue, but a non-English setup one.

Beside this, congratulations for this great and fast Reader app.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the details mate. I will try to identify the cause based on your investigation.
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Well I've tried all day but I couldn't make it crash! :)

Seems to be perfect, even if I leave something paused for a few hours it still continues fine!

Thanks for the fix, much appreciated :)

PS, also just today spotted the text select and share options on long press, that's cool :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Happy to read that!

Thank you very much for reporting back.

Long press text select is an ICS feature, which is made available when you are on ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] Fnorder:
Please consider adding an option to disable this, and use a normal menu. For a smartphone in landscape mode the action bar sits there taking up space that could be used for an article list entry, or content.
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
My thought was could this bar be made to behave like other ICS apps where it switches to the right automatically in portrait mode?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I agree with your comments/concerns and I will find a way to do this nicely.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
D7 Google Reader / D7 Reader Pro 2.1.0

Another version with some new/user requested features has been released. Check it out in Google Play.

Here is the change log:

Indication of podcast attachment when navigating (article view) in full screen mode

Fixed: hide share bar when going full screen in article view

Swapped the locations of Refresh and Search actions. Refresh animation is more visible when it's on the top.

Added preference entry to disable/enable toast notifications
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
not liking that change:

a) upper right is the de-facto standard place for a search button/field, both in apps and websites

b) in the normal "flow" of using the app mark all read and refresh kinda belong together.

also it'd be nice if the share bar animation matched the other toolbars animations.
[Android Apps and Games] Gekass:
great app, only one problem is:
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
My reason for moving the refresh button up is to make the user pay more attention to the loading animation. When it's in the bottom bar, it may be hidden by the user's hand.

About the de-facto standard; there could be exceptions to this. Look at the Gmail app; the search button is in the bottom bar. The search company didn't bother moving it down. :)

I will consider your suggestion for share bar animation.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Sorry about that; I will fix it in the next version.

Thanks for the report!
[Android Apps and Games] knurdle:
Great app, finally a google reader app that doesn't cache and it's fast.

I'll also second the request for swipe left/right to move between articles.

Also, configurable swipe up/down. Jusreader had those options.

I had it configured to swipe up to mark read/unread and swipe down to star/unstar.

If you can get the swipe done, I'll definitely buy the pro version.
[Android Apps and Games] protomank:
I installed it, but, for some reason it won't log me into google account. Just keeps "Signing in..." forever, and it does not use the 3G connection.

Tested other apps, all fine, only the D7 Reader can't connect...
[Android Apps and Games] parousia15:
I definitely like it.

Few questions, will it possible for the articles to show pics of media? For example, when a YouTube vide is embedded in the article, it shows a picture in the article in the google app.

I haven't been able to test completely yet, but one thing I like about the google app, is when I'm on the subway, I can just open the app and read even though there is no signal. Is that possible too?
[Android Apps and Games] moolash:
Feedback

Very NICE app!

One of the few RSS readers that support ANIMATED GIF's!!!

Quick feature request list: (some probably mentioned already)

- swype (or any other ONECLICK method) to mark as read

- set limits for downloading (like max pic, gif etc)

- option to use it OFF google reader (donno if it makes sense, I haven't been much of a googlereader user)

- search/import/export feeds

- swype left or right for prev-next article

- some kind of a scroll-down view, instead of single view only

I know most of these exist in other readers, up to now rss deamon has been the best for me, your app kicks ass, I want it to be better!
[Android Apps and Games] protomank:
Still no good.

Tried to run it on my wifi network, uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing works, it simply can't log in on my Samsung Galaxy 3 :-(

v1.7 has been released

I have been busy working with v1.7 and I couldn't reply to most of your messages. I will do this when the release work is completed.

Good News!

v1.7 is now released to the market with lots of user requested features (thanks for all who suggested those features).

Changes in v1.7

Swipe right/left (enable in preference) to mark/unmark as read, in article list

Swipe left/right (enable in preference) to navigate between articles, in article view

Article list UI changes - time display for latest items, re-arranged for better space management and cleaner look and feel

Article sort order - choose from by newest/by oldest/by magic

Article view - clickable title to load the original article

Better readability (larger font, more space) in mobilized article view

Changes around read/kept unread items functionality

bug fixes (home screen widget alignment, and others)

FINALLY, ad-blocked devices support in free version

I hope you will enjoy this update.

I welcome your suggestions and feature requests to make this app the best!

NOTE: If you have rated the app very low because of ad-blocked devices were not supported in v1.6, Please REVIEW your rating as v1.7 is usable for you.

Thank you all for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] parousia15:
In the 1.7 version there is a white bar at the bottom where ads should be. Is that intentional? I don't have ad blocker.
[Android Apps and Games] hansz73:
Yes it's much better now. However, I can't set font size to my own pref (need bigger size). Is it possible to do that?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Can you try uninstall and re-install the app?

Thanks you the suggestions, it really helps to improve the app. I will look into them and consider including in the future updates. Some of them (click-able article title, swipe to read/unread) are already available in the latest version; please check.
[Android Apps and Games] moolash:
more feedback

1.7... so cool... quick response to feedback... wow...

One more thing:

In SUBSCRIPTIONS view feeds with new updates should be either bold or moved to top or somekinda sorting.
[Android Apps and Games] droidgt:
check the latest version (1.7); its got the swype support.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yes; 1.7 has swipe to mark as read/unread and swipe to navigate between articles. There are other nice features 1.7 brings to you. Check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
sweet! 1.7 is really nice. D7 just became my prefered news reader.

one more suggestions: enable swipe in the mobilised source view to go to next/previous item just like in message view. safes from having to click the back-button after reading a msg in mobilised.

I might take a try at creating a nice icon for this app, current one isn't that beautiful ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] dan13l:
Nice work! Once I figured out I could tap the article count bubble to read everything in a folder I started to enjoy the app.

One thing I'd like to see is a faster way to mark all as read. Right now there's a lot of taps involved. Also it'd be good to return to the list when you've marked them.
[Android Apps and Games] zg820:
i can't download it from china. did you set the all of the world canbe download it .
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thank you for your support ledlow!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your support!

I will find a way to make the sound/light optional.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Try v1.7, it does not have ad blocker check. This is done to make people with ad blockers to test the app before they make a decision to buy.
[Android Apps and Games] abqslim:
Hi, got pro version and love it. Just a few suggestions/wish list items:

Add option to limit number of articles synced (like newsrob). Seeing that there are 1000+ new articles is a bit daunting.

Add ability to switch between light / dark themes on the fly (eg within web view)

Add floating +/- button to zoom in/out while reading

App is still 5* as is but looking forward to more improvements ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
By that reasoning you'll also have to put the reload button in the bottom bar (why split them up in the first place anyway??) as that's where it is in Gmail :P
[Android Apps and Games] RubenRybnik:
Was using JustReader as I liked the tablet layout better, however functionally it did not seem to sync correctly or timely with Google Readers site, even though the app said it marked an article as stared it didn't show up in any timely fashion on the GReader site. This app however does pretty darn well. Love that there is now a visual indication of swipe actions. Swipe actions and quick syncing are my favorite features of this app. One request though, swiping seems to work well except for the fact that when I swipe left or right the screen usually moves up and down as well making it difficult to perform without careful actions. Is there anyway to lock the list on initial touch and move vertically if you start that action and swipe action if you start horizontal? Or some other way to make vertical movement not so 'touchy' ... I'm definitely a convert at this point.

Also is there a way to only view a single feed with in a tag? For instance I have many feeds tagged as "Android" but can't figure out how to pick one feed individually, or am I just blind.

Lastly, and the least important, but would be cool request. A tablet optimized UI would be great. Maybe left column for feeds( by tag label -> individual feed hierarchy ) and right column for article detail if selected, in landscape I mean. Anyways, like I said, this one is a 'nice to have' but not keeping me from using this great app!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
LOL
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
About the swipe gestures, I should do more research before answering you.

Yes, you can expand the tags by tapping the icon (with tag, rss and a small arrow), and then tap the feed to load the articles.

From the beginning, I developed the app for the phones. I left the tablet compatibility because of the users' requests. That being said, making tablet friendly UI is in my todo list. So, it will come sometime in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
Bug, introduced in the latest update (I think):

I often pause my reading halfway through reading list, turn off the display (with reading list open) and only after some minutes return to the phone. When I then click any article instead of the article view a completly white view with "Loading" is shown for a split second after which it returns to an empty reading list with "loading" but nothing loads. I have to go to the main screen or restart the app to get reading list to load again. Of course in that process I lose the position in reading list.

Never had that problem with the old version, was introduced only recently. Can't tell for sure whether it was introduced with 2.0 or 2.1 though.
[Android Apps and Games] RubenRybnik:
Thanks for looking into the swiping and less importantly, the tablet UI, although it's great to know tablet is on your todo. I saw the tag expansion yesterday, I'm an idiot lol, thanks for letting me know though.
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Hi,

The podcast notifier in full screen is nice, thanks :)

Couple more thoughts, if I may...

Could podcast downloads be multi-threaded, i.e. not have to queue them all up behind each other for download, but it could download 2 or 3 at the same time?

Not sure if I asked before, but do you know if it's possible to enable the play/pause/back/fwd buttons on my headset to control the podcast playback?

Thanks again! Mark
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
That's weird.

I tried several times and I couldn't reproduce it. Can you get the logcat output when this happens again?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
You are welcome :)

The reason why I didn't make it multi-threaded was because it might slow down the low end phones very much. I'm not decided on whether to make this an option yet. I will have a think about it.

That's a nice to have feature. I will have a look at the key mappings for those buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] dbaybay:
I like the sound of this for the Pro Version. I use D7 on my tablet more than my phone because it is easier to read long articles on the big 10" screen. While it looks fine on my tablet, a Tab-specific UI would be pretty frickin' rad. :)

I just love this damn app. I don't care if there is other tablet-designed readers (Currents, cough) - they don't come anywhere near D7. Best one around :D
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
after some more thought about the button placement: how hard would it be to make the toolbars configurable?

imho the best solution for everyone would be configurable top+bottom toolbars with all unassigned items showing in the expander menu (the 3 dots button, no idea what the official name is). and double-tap should then hide the bottom toolbar only instead of hiding both.
