It seems to be when I read some of the items and than use the button to mark all read.

It does mark them correctly but the article list still shows the number of initially unread articles.

Something else I noticed (but don't use). If I save an article, the app force closes. I don't use the feature therefor only now noticed it.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the details pharz. I will look into it.

This is weird. I have been using this feature for long without any problem. Can you grab the logcat output as soon as this happens and send it to me?

Hi

Great app

Can you add support to nook touch side buttons (turn page)?

key 407 RIGHT_NEXTPAGE

key 412 LEFT_NEXTPAGE

key 139 LEFT_PREVPAGE

key 158 RIGHT_PREVPAGE

[N2E] Nook Touch - App Support for Hardware Buttons

Or, for volume keys to roll down the text?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I will have a look, but it will be of less priority. I have other high priority feature requests in the to-do list. Anyway, I will implement this when there are enough users interested.

New version 1.8.3

This release has some cosmetic changes to improve the user experience of the app. I hope these changes will help in adding some of the user requested features in the coming releases.

Change log 1.8.3

Restructured the preferences screens in more logical manner

Separate settings for swipe actions in articles list (mark as read/unread and add/remove star) and swipe actions in article view (navigation)

Separate settings for confirm dialogs for mark as read and unsubscribe actions

New setting to choose the default article view; RSS or mobilised source

Information of the mobilizer at the bottom of the mobilised article (in article view)
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
Awesome. Can't wait for it to finish updating in the market. As always thanks for this wonderful app. Best reader on the market
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
Assuming these changes are related to my requests (mobilizer and swipe), are you planning on implementing them the way I suggested in those posts and it's just not done yet? If not, is that because it's too hard, you don't like them, ..? Just wondering cause imho those would be nice changes (of course I think that as I suggested them ;-)).

Thanks for your work and the open communication!
[Android Apps and Games] rob22202:
Hi there.

I love your app and use it all the time. I have one suggestion that would make it more useful for me. I use multiple accounts and have to go into Preferences>Accounts to change accounts. Perhaps you could you make the bar on the bottom of the initial page (the one that shows your account name already) a link to choosing what account you want to use?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yes, you are one of those who requested the customizable swipe action, and I like that feature as well. It's coming in the next release. The delay in adding was because I wanted to update my dev tools to the latest version (which I had postponed many times).
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I agree with you and this is another feature, requested by many users. I will definitely add a short cut to switch the account in the next release (or the one after).
[Android Apps and Games] pharz:
This update also solved my 'mark all read' problem!!

Saving still doesn't work for me but I don't use that anyway.

So thanks for the update! :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Good to know that your issue was resolved. Thanks for the feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] ricostuart:
Its good but the only thing no reader app has compared to the Web app is the

Ability to mark as read only the visible feeds. As your app and all the others automatically download the next set at the bottom of the screen then this is not possible. If you made the loading of the next 10 feeds manual by a button press similar to the online site then to me would be near perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
ricostuart, just jold any item and select "mark above as read". the auto-loading of the next 10 items doesn't have anything to do with that
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
I played with the ICS SDK during the weekend and just love the new style of the Google apps. That's when I noticed how old-fashioned D7 looks with it's greyish gradients.

The Google closest to D7s look is actually Youtube. Maybe you can pick up some of these ideas and give D7 a new, modern look

In addition to the design changes I'd also propose one new "feature": Having a small bar at the top that allows switching between the different "folders". This is copied from Google+ app.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
The grey ish look with only a couple of colors was done to make the app look simple. Of course it might be boring to look; But I must admit that I'm not an expert in graphics design.

Your feedback has been very useful in making the app feature rich. And I hope the input for the UI change would lead to a beautiful (modern as you said :) ) D7 Reader.

I will definitely consider making changes to the UI of the app.

Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
I actually do like the simple design. It's just that it could be more modern.

And for ICS you'll have to make some changes anyway (like adding a settings button to the UI as ICS phones won't have a menu button anymore) so why not make it more in line with "official" apps while at that :-)

Also there's the changes required due to yesterdays Reader redesign (removal of Shared, Followed, ..)

I just put together some very quick drafts, attached. Most stuff is copy&paste so looks far but perfect but it should convey the idea. Icons with a few colors (again similar to G+) on the homescreen would be nice I guess.

Oh, one major thing missing on those screenshots: Please keep the ability to have a dark background in the reader view :-)

If you want I could try help with a bit of redesign, though I'm not a good icon designer I might be able to help with the overall look, feel free to PM if interested.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Good stuff mate; and thanks for the suggestions and images (looks cool :) ). Yes, I agree with you on making the UI "modern" and ICS friendly; that will happen soon. Thanks for the offer in helping for the re-design, I pm you when I need help.

About the menu in ICS; Honeycomb has the same 3 soft keys and if the app is built with right configuration a 4th soft key (menu) appears which brings up the app menu. I don't see this happening in ICS though (correct me if I'm wrong).

In the next release, I will make D7 Reader in-line with the recent Google Reader changes (add/remove certain features; as you have already mentioned) and add some user requested features (including yours).

Error: File Write Failed

Purchased the app this am - been using it for a few days and really like it over any other rss app I've used. I do have a problem and 2 minor questions:

Problem: when trying to save an article, I get the toast message ""Error: File Write Failed". Can't seem to save articles.

Question 1: When looking at posts in the Subscriptions view, the number there do not match (are always lower than) the number shown on the icon for the Reading List view and within the reading list view itself.

Question 2: Is there any way to have the app open to one of the views by default? Ex: the Subscriptions view?

Thanks,

Mark
[Android Apps and Games] mah225:
(bump) and more information:

I use the default article view "mobilized". If I view an article as I say above, and try to save, I get the error. if I view an article, switch to rss view, then immedietly back to mobilized, then save, it saves.

Strange. Any ideas droidlab7?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your support in purchasing the app.

Yes, it's due to a bug in the app, and only happens when default view is mobilised. I will fix this in the next version. Thanks for reporting it.

1. when you are in the reading list, the app won't fetch the new articles. It happens only when you return to the subscriptions view. So the count difference must be due to this. Let me know if I got you wrong.

2. Currently the app doesn't support changing the view, loaded first. Its always the dashboard.
[Android Apps and Games] jrr1421:
Feature request

LOVE this app. I do, however, have a few feature requests:

1. Make left/right arrows within article view larger, with an option to have them stay on the screen permanently, rather than fading after a few seconds.

2. Change the left/right article swipe sensitivity to be a little more sensitive. Often times I swipe across the screen, but the article will not change until I swipe again a bit more firmly.

3. Have an option for a permanent toolbar/checkbox on the bottom of the screen (or somewhere else) in article view so we can mark an article as read/unread without having to hit the menu button first before doing so. Greader has a mark read/unread box w/in article view, but that's about the only feature it has over D7.

Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] mah225:
Thanks DL7.

1. Re: bug fix in next version - excellent!

2. Re: count discrepancy. I don't think it's that. It when I see it happen, pretty much all the time for me, I even exit the app, go back in and of the count on the reading list is 10, I go into Subs View and maybe there are 7 or 8 articles there, exit to main screen and keep going back and forth between views and for whatever reason there are a few missing in Subs View. Also, when in Subs view and I select show all, I dont see the subscriptions for the articles I see in Reading view - they are "missing" even though the articles from those subscribed sources are in reading view.

3. Default view - got it - thanks for clarifying.

Hope this helps....

M
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
2. That's strange. Can you compare the numbers to the web based Google Reader's numbers (unread count for subscriptions and reading list?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your support.

I'm going to do some user interface changes in a future release (not next one though - it's almost ready for release). That will include changes to the article view as well. I will consider these features to be considered for that release (will tweak the swipe as well).
[Android Apps and Games] mah225:
Certainly, I will check....

Thanks,

M
[Android Apps and Games] mah225:
OK, I checked and it seems in Subscriptions View there are 4 feeds missing totally which definitely have unread articles. Those 4 feeds of course have unread in Google Reader and those articles do show up in Reader View and the total Reader View count is correct against Google Reader.

Not sure why those 4 subscriptions are not showing on the Subs view?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for checking this out in the web based reader. I will find out the cause for the difference.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
D7 Google Reader / D7 Reader Pro 1.8.4

I have released the update to the market now. It brings some nice features, changes related to latest official Google Reader updates and bug fixes.

Change log

Added/removed features according to the recent Google Reader changes (share in reader, like actions)

Improved Read It Later support (no need to enter credentials when ReadItLater app is installed)

Customizable swipe actions in article list

Made account switch easy

Share in Google+ (app needs to be installed)

Ability to view +1 for articles

Improved label/tag support for subscriptions and articles

Fixed the issue where articles cannot be saved when default view is set to mobilized, in article view

Other minor fixes
[Android Apps and Games] mah225:
Not a problem. And thanks for the Save fix in the new release. Looks great.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
Nice, but option to disable please? Never gonna use it and it's kinda distracting up there. Maybe put it in the toolbar next to the G+,Twitter, FB icons?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
This is not a permanent change and there will be more changes to the D7 Reader and Google+ integration to get most out of it.
[Android Apps and Games] Fnorder:
Bug: 1.8.4: Clicking article title will load html page inline instead of spawning browser intent. This is random per feed. Holding mobilizer icon and selecting browser doesnt help

Feature request: Option to skip startup screen entirely and go to feedlist
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Yes, bug confirmed. I'm releasing a patch soon. Thanks for reporting.

This feature has been in my to-do list for sometime, but didn't have time to do it. I will have a look at it again.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
bug fix release: v1.8.4.1

Ok, I didn't want to leave this annoying bug anymore. Above update has been to the market to fix the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Fnorder:
Excellent!
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
was bored at work today, drew a new D7 icon idea.

it's supposed to be the upper part of a D with RSS-iconish waves inside, overlaying a 7.

psd available if you want like the idea and want to build upon it
[Android Apps and Games] _EgidiuS_:
Wow, Ima going to test this very app!

I hope it s better than GReader O_o.
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
I really like that icon. Alot. Only thing I would add is a black background and a small border with rounded corners. Just to seperate it from the screen when using it.

Just another post from a CM7 junkie.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
That's a cool idea; Merging D and rss symbol plus the 7; nice. I may do the icon based on this (I will give proper credit if I do so). Thanks for the effort in making this.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Hope you like the app.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
I've been experiencing some problems since the last update: I read messages in Reading list, then mark them all as read. When I then try to open Reading list or Starred (the only 2 views that I actually use) nothing loads. The spinner keeps spinning but no messages appear. Restarting D7 and opening the same list again makes the messages appear.

So I guess something gets "stuck" after marking all read that prevents further messages from loading.

edit: I just realized this happens only before the unread count on main screen is updated after marking all read. however that count often doesn't update for me until i update manually so I'm seeing this bug like 90% of time.

No need for any credits. You implemented so many features I asked for that I'd actually have to credit you in the icon ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] subtex:
Any way to get the apk of the ad-supported version so I can test it out on my Kindle Fire? (I just searched this thread for "apk" and got no results so I'm assuming no one has asked this yet)

Any plans to release it in the Amazon app store?
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
PMed you a link to the free one.

Amazon is evil (read e.g. http://shiftyjelly.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/amazon-app-store-rotten-to-the-core/) and it's US only. Having it available in http://yaam.mobi/ would be great though.

Talking about open app stores: Any plans to make D7 open source? (I won't make any arguments pro-OSS here, you know them all anyway ;))
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I will look into this. Thanks for reporting.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I haven't used the yaam app store yet, probably I can release the free version there.

Yes, I do know, but no plan to make it open source yet.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
YAAM also allows paid apps, using Paypal.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
have to take back what I said before. Unread count seems to have nothing to do with it. Just now I marked all read, on main screen the unread count was updated from 98 to 3 (as 3 new msgs had arrived in the meantime), I went to reading list and it didn't load anything. Went back to main screen and into reading list again and it worked.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
That's weird. Can this be reproduced all the time? Just tried it but didn't happen to me. Will try again later. Thanks for updating me with more findings.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
it's perfectly repoducable here. Started happening with the last update or the one before that.

1. reading list, 2. wait some time so new items arrive, 3. mark all read -> returns to main screen, 4. reading list -> not loading

I'm using it over a 2g/3g connection, maybe that matters.

Are there any logs that'd help you? Or maybe a debug build?
[Android Apps and Games] mah225:
I get this as well: mark all read and back on main screen the unread count updates from xx to x (some lower number as if new msgs had arrived in the meantime), but when I go to the reading list either there are no new messages (and if I go out again the number if zero) or there is 1 or a few msgs there but not every time and not necessarily the number that was shown...
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I will check this out when I get home (need to look at the code as well). Thanks for the report.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thank you for your support.

Please continue to post your suggestions to make the app even better.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the feedback hansz73.

Readability of mobilized article will be improved in the next version.

I will add the feature to go directly to reading-list in future releases.

I will consider about adding the option of directly going to the mobilized source article as I will need the input from other users as well.
[Android Apps and Games] hansz73:
You're welcome, and thank you for including my requests. I bought your app because of your implementation of mobilizer.

I look forward to the next release.

Font size in mobilizer view

Dear Dev,

First off, this is a great app! I am really blown away by how fast it is after using *many* other of the readers.

I agree with the comment here - for me on a MotoDroid 1 the font size is pretty tiny in the mobilizer view. If you can add an option to increase that font size I'll buy for sure. I am very impressed that you have implemented the dark theme with the "web"/mobilizer view as even NewsRob doesn't do it.

Best regards,

ABQslim
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thank you for your complements abqslim.

You can expect the improved mobilised view with larger font size in the soon (couple of days) to be released version, which will have many user requested features.

Thanks again for the support.
[Android Apps and Games] abqslim:
great!

Thank you for your reply. I'm really looking forward to trying the new version. Keep up the great work!

I think having the option for dedicated buttons would be more useful for me.
[Android Apps and Games] SHADOW-XIII:
very good one, replaced feedly as their authors seems to forgot about users and didnt respond at all to my mail with suggestions

Issues:

- I had a crash the 1st time I run it just after I accepted google account

- Slow google reader singing on or unsucesfull (also had FC trying to sign in few times)

Suggestions:

- I would also like to have option to open article in the browser with single button, also preferably customizable toolbar (kinda like one you have now with facebook/twitter/browser/etc buttons but would like been able to choose which buttons are there and which are not),

- a button to keep it unread (for later, for example from PC) which after pressing would keep article unread and jump to the next one maybe?

- (haven't checked that as cannot sign into reader from D7 now) expanded view like in Google Reader so I can see all pictures from deviantart rss subscription without entering into every article (mark-as-read-as-you-scroll is a must for that one)
[Android Apps and Games] anderslynge:
Nice

I'm checking this one out - seems pretty cool so far!

Read Ahead Caching

Hi,

I used to use the official Google reader app. However, as a lot of my reading was done on the train, with notorious data connection issues, it became painful to use. it would pull down chucks of headlines but wait until you got to the end of it's chunk before downloading the next.

I moved to NewsRob for it's offline abilities, thus negating the problem of not having a connection at all times, but it is slow to read some articles, hanging for as much as 30 seconds before moving to the next one so again it is not a perfect solution.

What I would want is an online reader that pulls down a chunk of say 100 headlines and starts to pull the next chuck when the first are 75% through or 50% or a configurable number depending on user performance.

My reading list sometimes gets more than 1000 headlines per day, of which I read maybe 10% so offline downloading of all messages is woefully inefficient.

So, cutting through all the waffle here, how good is D7's read ahead caching? :)

Hi!

Love it, thanks for the APP. Only thing I miss is a one click for marking thread read...
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Swipe navigation will be an optional feature, enabled preference. It won't affect the users who are happy with the buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] ledlow:
Man, I have got to tell you that I have been waiting for an app like this. I like the official Google Reader app quite a bit due to the syncing read/unread between desktop and mobile and the volume key navigation, and I see both of those work here as well.

The reason I like yours is we know that on AMOLED screens like my Nexus One, dark is better for battery life and your Dark Theme is beautiful. I also really like the mobilized view at a click on any article and your UI elements are great. This is a real upgrade for me since I use Google Reader more than most other apps on my phone on a daily basis.

Going to get the paid version right now after trying the free and I shouted your app out on Twitter since I interact with a ton of Android users there.

Very nice work sir.
[Android Apps and Games] ledlow:
BTW, adding this review to the Market on the Paid and Free version as well.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yes! I don't even have adblock installed just a host file and it still finds it. Shame on the Dev for being a greedy SOB. I'm changing my Google password now and everyone else should.!

Will not start

App will not start, tells me, that it will not run without Adds; but I do not have any add blocker installed. :(
[Android Apps and Games] ledlow:
After having used the app much of the morning, I do have one suggestion for an option. I dislike that I have to click Reading List every time I open the app. Add a checkbox to allow it to default to the Reading List view on app launch and then if you need to go Home, can do through Menu > Home.
[Android Apps and Games] mah225:
Sure thing - thanks DL7!
