Love the latest update! Happy to have donated to such a great project.

I'm really looking forward to seeing rss thumbnails integrated.

Also, although I'm satisfied with the three text size options, I think being able to choose a pixel size (like TweetDeck) would be a better option.

For the mobilizer button, I have some sites that work well with instapaper and some better with google mobilizer... While I like the current functionality, I'd like the ability to long press the mobilizer button to choose which one I want to use while short press just uses whatever I have set in preferences.

Thanks for the great work! I'm amazed every time there's an update.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Not in the last version. Thanks for your support, I will ask you when I need.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Glad to know you are happy with the app.

I will have a look at the pixel based option.

I like the option to switch mobilizer from the article view. Thanks for the suggestion. I will include this in the next version.

Thanks for your support!

F**K!

Just bought myself a SGSII and D7 is my most used app!..... Are there any other way of incorporating google auth. besides using the built in account ? Ex. logon google services on web and then back to D7 ??
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Looks like not all sgs2 phones have the issue. One of the users confirmed that he/she doesn't have any problem in using the app on his/her sgs2 with firmware I9100XWKE7. What's yours?
[Android Apps and Games] reidar.ostrem:
Hmm interesting, I have the ke 2.. Sent maybe try to flash a new kernel..
[Android Apps and Games] parousia15:
I just updated my phone and though I am using the same sd card, which I click on read offline items, it's empty. How to I get the program to find or recognize all my saved/offline content?
[Android Apps and Games] rendez2k:
Doesn't work here on SGS2 either I'm afraid. Looks like I've got I9100XWKDD.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
umlauts (ö, Ø, ...) in title cause the title to break when sending to RIL.

e.g. you have "bla bla ö bla bla", D7 sends as title just "bla bla " to Read it Later

v1.7.6 change log

New version has been released with minor feature updates and bug fixes.

Change log: 1.7.6

Article view: long press mobilise button to choose the mobilizer (session only - will not change preference)

Added preference to show confirmation dialog when marking all as read (button) and unsubscribing

Another font option - Very Large (mainly for tablets)

RIL password field in preference

fixed RIL tile encoding (when saving to RIL) bug
[Android Apps and Games] rendez2k:
Really glad to say this new version works fine on SGSII! Previous version did not.
[Android Apps and Games] Deaks2:
This is still the best Google Reader app around, however, I am still having the issue with marking items as read and the items in question not actually being marked as read.

For example:

Start with 100 unread items.

Read 20, mark as read, success!

Read another 20, mark as read, success!

Read another 20, mark as read, failure.

Solutions I have tried:

Wipe app data and cache - no change

Uninstall app and reintall - no change

Fix permissions - no change

Completely wipe device - no change

Make sure that no other device is open on my Google Reader account - no change

Change cache/loading options to 10 items instead of 50 - no change

I often have several hundred unread items, and several dozen feeds. I have never tried the app with a completely cleared account (I can't read that quickly ;))

This only happens after a bit of use which leads me to believe that the cache is the issue. Quitting the app and relaunching fixes the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
D7 reader uses database and sdcard for storing offline items. If you didn't backup and restore app + data using titanium backup or any other app, you would loose the database.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for reporting the bug.

I think I have fixed this in the last update (1.7.6). Can you confirm?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the news. Happy to read it.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
Fixed in 176. Quick fix as usual, great work.
[Android Apps and Games] crimper:
A note on mark as read: currently D7 is refreshing the Reading List first and then is marking. This way the new articles that I haven't even seen yet are also marked as read.

Also, don't know if it was reported, I can't mark a single item as unread after marking all as read. Swiping says that "reading state locked" and there is no "mark unread" option on long-press menu. That's not a big issue by itself, but coupled with the refresh issue above, it's easy to miss new articles.

Is it possible to fix?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
Ugh, I just noticed an ugly bug: When you mark all as read it doesn't mark all items you're looking at as read but all items that are on the server at that moment. As I often need 30 min or so to go through the list that means I'll miss on 30 min of new items that are marked as ready despite me never intending to mark them read.

Please fix asap. Using the web interface for now, this bug is just too bad.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
bug fix release: v1.7.6.1 change log

Released a minor update with fixes for some annoying bugs. Update to this version is recommended.

change log:

Mark all as read will not mark fresh, not loaded articles as read

Fixed sync issues happening after using the app for some time

Fixed wrong title in articles from feed search results

Fix for in Subscriptions view
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
This bug has been fixed in 1.7.6.1.

This is the same as what Google reader web app lets us to do. When all articles are marked as read, it actually puts a read state lock in those articles so that individual article read state cannot be changed.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yes, it's an ugly bug; now fixed in 1.7.6.1.

Thanks for reporting.
[Android Apps and Games] crimper:
Awesome, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] crimper:
unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's fixed, at least in the main reading list view. I mark all as read and new items are downloaded first and marked read as well.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Ok, got some time to look at this now.

I'm making some speed improvements in the app. There will be a significant update soon. :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
New version 1.7.7

It's been a long time since I released an update with new features. And now is the time; just released a new version to the market with some nice features.

There is still some issues with embedded video in the article. I will fix them in later versions.

Change log: 1.7.7

Support for video in articles (RSS view only), enable plugins in preferences

Faster loading of subscriptions with caching

Improved mobilized view (now similar formatting to rss view)

Switch between rss and (mobilised) web views within the same screen (long press to switch the mobilizer)

Separate preference settings to filter starred/shared/recommended/people you follow articles list

Minor UI tweaks

Minor bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
Downloaded free version and very quickley bought paid. Seriously. Thank you for reasonably priced app that does what I have been needing it too. I'm very rarely on my pc. So subscribing to new feeds sucks as I always had to go to the actual site. Now I can do it in app. That alone is worth the cash. Thanks again

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize

Running CM7 @1.2ghz w/ Tk-Glitch ML Kernel.

Thank you to all the Dev's working to advance the many names of the SCH-I500. :D You guys Rock! :D
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Glad that my app is useful to you.

Thanks for your support.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yes you are right.

Sorry about that. I will release an update soon to fix this.

Thanks for posting the logcat output.
[Android Apps and Games] knurdle:
Wow, I didn't think the app could be any faster but this new version feels noticeably faster.

Awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your feedback; happy to read it.

[Android Apps and Games] crimper:
Yes, it works! No crashes.

[Android Apps and Games] crimper:
Can't stress enough how much I love this update - smooth, fast, no lag and in-article mobilized view. Excellent work!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Glad that you like the new version.

Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
minor release - 1.7.7.3

I had to release this minor bug fix release as this affects the user experience of the mobilized view. Here is the change log.

Fixed space issue in mobilized view

Minor bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
another bug fix release 1.7.7.4

Here is another minor release to fix a few bugs in the last version. This is a recommended update.

Change log

Fix for unread count not updated correctly

Minor formatting tweaks in article view

Fix for no menu in honeycomb

Work-around for large pages not fully displayed when using Google mobilizer (a link to continue reading the rest in browser) - proper fix will be done in future
[Android Apps and Games] abqslim:
Hello. When clicking on mobilized view, the content does not include the part of the article that was in the preview. Has it always been this way? I thought it did before. If not, could you add an option to display the full article in the mobile view? I often only read the first line or two of preview before requesting full article via mobile view. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yes, it's been like this from the beginning. The mobilised view makes the original article rendered for the phone screen. Usually the articles are published in full form in the source link.

I can do your request, but I think this may lead to confusion to other users.
[Android Apps and Games] abqslim:
Oops. Guess I need to pay more attention to what I'm reading! :-)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
minor release - 1.7.7.5

Back with a new version now; This release will fix the annoying unread count update bug and also adds a new feature. You can update from Android market.

This is a recommended update.

Change log:

Preference (General section) to open all links in articles via in-app mobilizer

Fixed unread count update bug

Other minor bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] dvation191:
This app is really shaping up to be a top notch rss client.

Unfortunately, I'm still experiencing an issue with the mark above as read feature. More often than not it will miss marking some articles as read.

For example, if I mark above as read at a post that has a 2pm timestamp, then refresh, there might be anywhere from 5 to 30 articles with timestamps earlier than 2pm that failed to be marked as read. If I mark above as read again at the same article, it usually works the second time and all posts before 2pm will be marked as read.
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Hi.. just wanted to say this app is great, I've bought the paid version to experience the full glory of it, and use it daily :)

Couple of comments, sorry if any of this is duplication but the topic is quite long to read all ;)

On the main screen, could the "offline items" be promoted out of the menu on to the screen itself? Maybe have it so we can swipe it up to see the rest of the options rather than having to go into the menu button?

I use the podcast feature a lot :) Any way the app could detect any podcasts amongst the feeds when it syncs the unread count, and have an option to automatically download the podcasts? (Maybe only in wifi connection!)

I'd also love it if there was a way the podcast player could integrate with the phone state, i.e. pause playing when a call comes in and/or allow me to use the pause button on my earphones to pause the podcast. At the moment I have to answer the incoming call. then go to the notification bar and access the podcast player to pause it while someone is already talking to me!!
[Android Apps and Games] JReeq:
Like everyone has said GREAT APP! been using since day one. Only thing I wish could be added is a full screen option (or toggle) to remove the top buttons to free up some screen space.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the feedback.

There is a delay in updating the articles when you use "mark above as read". I will make this faster like the other actions soon.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your support in buying the paid app!

Yes, I have this idea of moving the 2 "People you follow" and "offline items" to the dashboard in my todo list but didn't have time to actually do it. I will try to make it in the next version if possible.

I've added your suggestion about podcasts to my list and I will do it when I have time.

Podcast player should pause playing when you receive a call; I know the app doesn't work that way. I will fix it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your support! Your words make the time I spent with the app useful.

I will include this feature in the next major release (not in a bugfix update though) of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Androyonisus:
Things app icon?

And you have the permission to use the old Things Mac app icon made by CulturedCode as your "Read" icon?
[Android Apps and Games] seancojr:
This has got to be one of the sexiest Google Reader apps for Android that I've ever seen. I am going to download and install the free version now. Just by what I read in the app description alone, I can tell that this might be something I'll wish to purchase. Great work!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
New version 1.8

I'm here with a new update with some nice features. Most prominent is the dashboard icons and the layout. All actions are possible with one click from this new home screen (but I want your feedback on the colour though).

Another useful feature is the tags support for the articles; That is, you can add tags to articles and access articles for specific tags from Subscripts view.

Here is the change log for version 1.8

Enhanced Dashboard with all icons visible

Enhanced subscriptions view (no more "[NO LABELS]" label]

Speed improvements

Fixed the video not fit to width bug

Add/remove tags for articles

Improvement in article list view display

More toast messages to keep the user informed about sync

Minor bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] crimper:
Very nice, gets prettier and prettier.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
like the style of the new icons. maybe recreate the app icon in the same style? would look great in gingerbreads status bar
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Bodak:
Looking forward to trying out 1.8!

I have a potential feature request. There was a tweet from the Google Reader team that implies they've added a feature to their mobile interface that allows you to read the punchlines in the alt text of webcomics like (xkcd. It would be awesome if D7 Reader had something like that! It's hard to read the alt text on a tablet, so I always wind up marking xkcd as unread and looking at it from the desktop later.
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
Once again this is a great app. I use this daily and it has replaced all my news apps. I love the new look and these updates just keep getting better and better. Thanks again for the work you do. Its very much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Glad, you like the UI change. Thanks for the feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, agree with you; I want to change that as well. Will do it when I get some time to spend with photoshop :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I'm sure you will like d7 reader.

I will look into this and get back to you. Thanks for providing the links.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
My pleasure.

Thanks for the great feedback and support.

I will try to make this even better.
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Hi.. definitely liking the new homescreen and quick access to Saved items! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Happy that you like the change; thanks for the feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] onyxogen:
How about a honeycomb optimized version?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I have this in mind already; It'll come eventually, but I don't have an ETA on that.
[Android Apps and Games] daleski75:
Just an idea for an already great app when you tap on subscriptions could you add an option to show all feeds underneath without having to tap on feeds every single time?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Are you suggesting a feature to get the article list by label? If so, its already available; just tap the count button on the right of the label.

Let me know if I got you wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] daleski75:
When you click subscriptions it expands feeds right away so from this

To this without any tapping on feeds
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the details. I will see whether I can make it a preference.

As a workaround, you can just delete/remove the label.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
bug fix release: 1.8.1

This update contains fixes for some force close issues in the app. Let me know if you find any other issues.

Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Hi.. I know you've not looked at the podcast player yet, but I wanted to report that sometimes when I'm playing a podcast it stops mid-flow, and when I check the player it just says "no podcast is being played".. I can't pin down an exact scenario unfortunately. Similarly, if I pause the podcast and come back a few hours later then it will have "forgotten" what was playing and I have to restart it..

Another possible bug, when the player starts, the "notification" sound of the device plays over the start of the podcast which is kinda annoying..

Also it would be great if there was a way to control the progress bar - drag it back and forth to any point in the podcast, rather than having to jump in 2 minute intervals only :) When forwarding 2 mins at a time, if I press fwd too quickly, it goes "buffering" forever and stops responding (but keeps playing!)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Hi markpud,

I have not forgotten the podcast player issues and I know I have to fix them next. Thanks for the reminder anyway :).

I will look into these issues and also will remove the notification sound that you mentioned.

Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] daleski75:
Further to my post I have taken out every feed and put it into the 'root' folder so to speak and now all the feeds are not sorted alphabetically.

Can you add the option to sort feeds A-Z and Z-A?
[Android Apps and Games] crimper:
Hi, would it make sense to split swipe actions in preferences so that gestures in list view and article view are enabled/disabled separately? I love the ability to mark read/unread and star/unstar in the list view but if I have to scroll horizontally in the article view, very often it inadvertently swipes to next or previous one, it's very annoying.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] runngwlf:
I love this app, I use it on my phone and my gtablet. Recently however, since the mid august update, D7 will NOT log into my google reader account. I have tried on 3g, 4g and wifi, I have cleared app data, uninstalled/reinstalled, the only thing that works for me is going back to a version I had on my computer from july and not accepting the update. Suggestions? Phone is a Samsung Epic 4g on sprint running Syndicate Frozen 1.2 with no other modifications to the rom.
[Android Apps and Games] runngwlf:
Hmmm. 6 days and no response at all to a problem that has been previously reported in this very thread. Its kind of unfortunate, this used to be my favorite reader app but now its basically unuseable. Seems to just be with galaxy s phones. I would be happy to help but a hello we see your issue would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] wxfreak:
Feature request

Thank you for the awesome app! It's one of the few I have purchased.

Would it be difficult to add a feature to hide a feed? I would like to hide my Google "listen subscriptions" in D7 because I use a different podcast app for these. I am inadvertently (yes I'm dumb) marking everything read and my podcast app doesn't pull a episode in for auto-download. I also like a clean look of no unread articles after reading all text based feeds.

Thanks,

Steve

holiday

I am currently on a 3 weeks holiday. I will reply to your posts when I'm back to work/hobby in a week.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
could you please add an indicator which mobilizer is active in the mobilizer choise menu? i've got some sites that require a specific mobilizer but I always forget which one is required where which leads to me selecting the already active one quite often.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
and another feature request: make the swipe actions configurable. e.g. in list i swipe right to star but i never ever use swipe left to mark as read, instead i'd love to be able to swipe to add to RIL (just an example)
[Android Apps and Games] markpud:
Hope you have restful holidays! When you're back we will still be here no worries!

Hoping for a fix for why the podcast player just terminates itself sometimes, that's the most annoying thing for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I'm back

I had a great break from work and now I'm back to my work/hobby.

I will reply to your messages as and when I have time (currently working on a minor bug fix release - will be ready in a couple of days).

Glad to hear you had a good time on your vacation. Its nice to get away from everything for a while here and there. Look forward to your updates.
[Android Apps and Games] pharz:
When I use the button to mark all read, the reading list doesn't always update correctly. It will still show an unread count.

Can't find a pattern to it, sometimes it works correctly sometimes it doesn't.

This has been bothering me so much that I tried to find an alternative app to use but eventually gave up my search. This is still the best reader (for me).

Hope you can fix my issue, if you need logging or anything just let me know.

galaxy S (2.3.4). Had it on multiple roms. cleaning cach etc makes no difference.

thanks.

New version 1.8.2

Here is the first update after my long vacation.

This time I have done changes around the download and podcast player features.

Change log 1.8.2

Podcast player is paused when a call is made or received (new permission: Phone state)

Podcast download status is updated instantly when viewing saved item

Fixed a bug where the same podcast being downloaded can be queued for download

New option "Browser" in the option list for long press mobilizer button

Minor bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I think I have fixed this issue before. It will be useful to troubleshoot if you can find when exactly this happens.

Glad to hear that you find my app useful.

Thanks for your support.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yep, it really makes a difference.

Just released an update to the market.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Initially I wanted to do like this, but then I changed my mind because more settings would confuse the user.

Now I have plans to make the swipe actions customizable (user requested feature) in the article list view. Along with this change, I think I can separate the settings for enable/disable swipe for navigation in article view.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Hi runngwlf,

I had been on a long vacation and was away from my dev computer and that's the reason why I couldn't respond to you.

Do you still have the issue?
