The UI is still by far the best out there, it just looks better than all the others, simple.

But for my use, its still missing;

Long click mark until read here option

Sort by oldest

and it does that thing that most news readers do that bugs me; when you read a feed and then go back to scrolling through them all, the one that you read dissapears, causing the whole list to jump up that spot, losing where you were just reading.

my widget no longer shows feeds once i updated

i tried downgrading and that no longer shows feeds

how can I fix?

on the top left it still shows 60 etc as a number but no feed content shows..

Hey mate, great work again - I can now see my feeds in HC! But now I cannot open each article - I get a force close. I'll grab a screenie soon
[Android Apps and Games] nanny07:
I tested the 3.0.2 and here what I think:

1) after I taped the "mark as read", the feeds should disappear and not just change color (maybe an option?)

2) it's very slow (slower than the other versions) to download the feeds: I was in wifi so it's should (!) be faster

3) this could be a new feature: for slow connection (2G) there could be an option for download only the text (title and subtitle) of the feeds, without the images. The images could be show only when you read (tap on it) that feed

Guys, I officially released Minimal Reader Pro 3.0 on the play store !

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jv.minimalreader

I added some new features (long click on item in list, black icons on widgets, rate app and report bug buttons ...) and fixed a lot of bugs.

Update through the market and give me some feedback.

Cheers !

It's not on the Store yet :)

There's a problem when I use Minimal Reader's 4.x widget with Adw Launcher Ex. I can't scroll up or down, most of the time. And the gestures are triggered every time.

I will test with other launchers.

UPDATE: Works fine with Go Launcher.

UPDATE 2: No, the problem persists, seems a widget issue.

UPDATE 3: Installed and uninstalled and now it's working. I don't know what to say. Let's wait, sorry to bother you.

Ever since the update, and I did wipe data/uninstall before hand, when I press the refresh button on the widget it doesn't actually update the widget. It just says Updating Widget with no results. I have to go into widget settings and checkmark the feeds I want to sync the widget with and press Update Widget to see updated stories. I have to do this each time I want to update the widget. Before the update I only had to press the refresh button and it did everything for me. I am using the 2.3 compatible scrollable widget on ADW EX.

Using official 3.0 for a few days now and here is some feedback:

Everything is much smoother and faster and some bugs from the past are gone. Refresh bugs and many FCs are not present anymore. Overall, it's a much better experience. Some issues and suggestions:

1. This bug is still present: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25790887&postcount=22. I'm surprised no one else has this problem considering Gawker sites are pretty popular.

2. A suggestion: while in the app and using the new long press "Mark Below as Read" function, I find it a little backwards. Considering when entering the app, you start at the top of the list, shouldn't we be marking the above as read as we scroll down through the items? If not, then we should be starting at the bottom of the list while we scroll up if we were to mark below as read. So either change it to mark above or the app should land us at the bottom of the list when we enter.

3. Give us more colors (or allow us to set our own colors) for our feeds in the app. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks 8 colors are too little.

4. Love the "No News" on the widget when there aren't any items. However, can we still revisit this suggestion as you have finally gotten this big update out of the way and have more free time? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24773750&postcount=647

5. Lastly, when tapping on the MR icon on the widget to launch the app, the blue glow is a bit off. It's too much to the right.

Other than these issues, so far so good. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks a lot for the feedback and reports guys.

The first thing I need to fix is the 2.x scrollable widget refresh which seems broken for some users. Need to investigate though cause it works fine for me...

Next is changing the' mark as read below' button into 'mark as read above button', you're right, it feels much more natural.

After that I'll keep unfolding my never ending to do list :p

Can you think of any other major bugs to fix or features to implement?
[Android Apps and Games] samthe2can:
Configurable sync amounts for each feed perhaps? I've noticed that sometimes I have less news items in this than in the official Google reader, could be for some other reason though
[Android Apps and Games] Carlos72:
Anyone can confirm a behavior of the widget to me?

When I click the refresh button, seems to me that the widget remains in the same position I'm before refreshing it.

The correct behavior, I'm my opinion, is to go to the beginning of the list, so I can start to read the new feeds.
[Android Apps and Games] trollsperm:
I have a HTC Desire Z ("Vision"), using the newest GO Launcher EX on CM9 beta 12.. Here's my feedback:

From time to time gestures are triggered in the scrollable widget. That never happened before.

The "mark all as read"-button no longer moves scrollable list to the top. Pressing that button was my shortcut to the top after scrolling through all news..

These "XX min ago" or "XXh YYmin ago" aren't really any good.. They don't update often (which is kind of a good thing, since it would "eat" the battery, I assume), so they're never correct.. I'd say you should go back to using the HH:MM as before.. Alternatively "HH:MM today", "HH:MM yesterday", "HH:MM 2 days ago", etc.

I know my comments regarding this may be borderline obsessive, but .. It would be really nice to incorporate the custom feeds names from Google Reader - which already are shown when selecting feeds - into the widget.

Since the feed names are varying in number of characters, I'd say "time - feed name" is a much better solution than "feed name - time". With "HH:MM" that would mean that all times and feed names would be orderly arranged below each other.. Ordnung muss sein! >.<

[Android Apps and Games] Carlos72:
The issue of the widget don't going to the top of the list, when you manually refresh it, is not fixed in this release.

Can't you be able to reproduce it?

Enviado de meu GT-I9100 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Yes I've reproduced it, just forgot to change that, I'll add it on the next release.

Initially it went to the top because it's the same process as when you read a news, and users were annoyed at the auto jumping to top thing (on Android 2.x). I finally managed to make it not jump to the top when reading so the same thing is applied to the mark all as read button. I'll change the behaviour for the button, shouldn't be to difficult to revert.
[Android Apps and Games] Carlos72:
Ok, thank you very much.

Enviado de meu GT-I9100 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] Div033:
Well, the 2.x widget still isn't properly refreshing for me. I'm going to do some tests on my own. Perhaps its a setting I'm choosing that is causing the bug. I'll get back to you.

Edit: setting up the widget without making any setting changes still does not correct the issue.

I've already gotten used to having to go into widget settings and pressing update widget to show the changes. I seem to be the only one with this issue so I guess we'll leave it as an isolated incident.

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Android Apps and Games] Carlos72:
There is another small thing that I'm seeing. When I refresh the widget, only 30 feeds are downloaded, no matter what I set in the preferences.

I don't know if this is a bug, or a design decision, or even a Google Reader issue, bur now i have to refresh it more than one time, to get a reasonable number of feeds.

Thanks.

Enviado de meu GT-I9100 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
That's actually my fault, I set defaults for the new App and they override the widget settings. Thanks for spotting it, it will be fixed in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] ArmanUV:
The playstore version still has a lot of syncing bugs. Most notably, let's say the app shows 20 unread items. Then I go on google reader and read 10 of them. When I come back to Minimal Reader and refresh, nothing happens and all 20 articles stay in the reading list.

Another major annoynce is that items are often not marked as read until you manually sync. The google reader app markes articles as read as soon as you read them (continuous sync).

I'm sorry to say this, but the syncing functionality of the app is majorly flawed. Too bad, since the interface is top notch.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
Love the app to death, but I gotta agree that the sync is very unreliable. Like ArmanUV said, however, because the interface + widget is so awesome, I'm overlooking the issues currently.

For example, every morning, I'd always wake up to over 100+ feed items on my Google Reader. Never has MRP ever retrieved every single item, however. Sometimes I'd get 100 outta 120 items and other times it will be 70 outta 110 items, for example. It's annoying to the point where I'd just head straight to the Google Reader web app or jump on my PC in the mornings to get the bulk of the feeds outta the way. I'd use MRP throughout the day to mark 10 or 20 items as they popup and it works fine like that.

While there are other random syncing issues as well similar to what ArmanUV has described, the biggest annoyance for me is this over 100+ items issue.
[Android Apps and Games] catcherfreeman:
Having the exact same issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Ok guys I think I found what the issue is with auto refresh, it looks like it's fixed now.

Btw, Since I got JellyBean on my Gnex, I've been working hard on my own "project butter", and I gotta say, I'm pretty happy with myself.

v3.0.2 will bring massive stability and speed improvements, as well as many bugfixes.

The app/widget feel rock solid now, it took a lot of work to reshape the system under the hood but it's for the good.

The update should be out by the end of the week.

Cheers !
[Android Apps and Games] ellesshoo:
Thanks. I've also found the reader becomes sluggish over time (taking a long time to launch the reader view). I end up clearing data/cache to fix but it's kinda a pain. I don't know when the last time I cleared data but could the sluggishness be because minimal reader doesn't clear out old items ? My item count shows 6000+ articles and android is showing Minimal Reader data is 44MB and cache is 7MB.

Hey guys,

just published an update to the play store :

** NEW in v3.0.2 **

- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Support

- Fixed the auto refresh issue (now the refresh rate is set through the main app only, the widgets are refreshed at the same time as the app)

- Improved stability

- Improved speed

- Many bugfixes

This is a bugfix release, no new features were added, just making everything work as it should, especially on Jelly Bean.

As usual, report any bugs you find.

Cheers !

Forget I said, I had to reinstall it to be able to download 100 feeds at once.

My sincere apologies.

Sad to report that automatic refresh isn't working...

Device: HTC Sensation

Rom: Incert Coin 2.2 Sense 4

Wiped data than uninstalled, rebooted, installed Minimal Reader Pro 3.0.2.

Imported Google reader feeds. Refresh set to 15 minutes in app.

Both nor in app nor widget do refresh a single time in last 2 hours. Sad...
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hmmm really? You've had a decent connection during those two hours?

Also could you try other refresh rates see if it changes anything?

I'd be interested in some logs if you can send them through SendLog that would be great.

I've spent days testing the new auto refresh system and it works fine on my 3 devices...
[Android Apps and Games] vlad48:
Ah, got it - I have a tasker profile which enables WIFI connection for 10 minutes every hour. It seems in this condition autorefresh is not working. If left on constant WIFI on widget will auto refresh after refresh interval set. I'll keep testing and report back.
[Android Apps and Games] Mk.Xal:
First, thank you for this beautiful app :)

Next, I have some small issues and feature enhancements to tell you.

- When I am looking the all my feeds (the tab named "ALL") and I press on the "mark all as read" button, I have to wait some seconds, swipe the screen to the "BROWSE" tab, wait while the tab is reloading and then come back to the ALL tab. Otherwise the feeds are never marked as read.

- When I read a feed, it is correctly marked as read in the app but not in Google reader. I have to synchronize each time I finish to check my feeds (it may be a good thing to have an option to automatically synchronize on article state change (marked as read/unread/favorite...)

- If I tag an article as favorite, it works fine. But if I remove this tag from your app, it is not removed from google reader. The same happened if I remove the tag in google reader, you app still mark the article as favorite (so I have to remove the tag in your app and in google reader).

- When I scroll the feeds list I got sometimes some struggle but not very noticeable.

- If an article contains a link (like "continue reading") it allways open the default browser. It may be a good thing if it depends on your app parameters (open in the app browser or system browser)

Otherwise everything works fine, the design is really awesome.

Thank you for reading and sorry if I made some english mistake:)
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
Hej Joevr. Uh what's with the poor stability of the app? I expand an article from the widget, skim trough and go back. I expand another article and it FC 100% of the times. This being happening since past update and is still present on the new one. Very annoying...
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey Darius, thanks for reporting, that bug doesn't happen on my devices, could you use SendLog to send me the logcat by email of what happens right after you reproduce the FC ? It would help me fix it.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] AlessandroIT:
I have to agree with you about 1 and 2.

I bought your app yesterday, and only those two issue are frustrating.

Otherwise, as of now, everything works fine (even if i had several FC yesterday (i've send the report trough Android)).

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mettleh3d:
Awesome app. Amazing update to 3.0, bought this app last year.

I'd like the option to limit the # of articles per feed in Pro like you can in Minimal Free.

Thanks so much
[Android Apps and Games] vicky4slayer:
Its good.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I've seen 2 FC reports in the Play Store console, I'll fix them tonight.

As soon as all the bugs are ironed out I will start implementing the continuous sync as it seems to be the most demanded feature. It should also solve the fact that you get different numbers on GReader and on the app.

Cheers guys
[Android Apps and Games] vlad48:
Yes, thank you in advance, continuos sync or a tasker plugin or 3d party action (like a News Rob 3d party in tasker) will be great for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
I sent 2 reports, but when I FC the last time, it stopped happening so I couldn grab a logcat for you. Will do as soon as the problem creeps again. Thanks for all the support ;)

Btw I'm using Apex Launcher, ICS 4.0.4. and a Galaxy S2.
[Android Apps and Games] Mk.Xal:
Hi had a strange behavior yesterday :

I refreshed all my feeds and get about 125 unread items, ok.

- the widget show the correct number but display only about 50 of them.

- In the app, in the "ALL" tab, all the unread items number per folder is ok

- the "ALL" tab display only a number of 100 unread items

- other tab display the correct number (but lesser than 100)

- Only about 50 feeds are displayed by tabs so it was a hard work to read all the feeds.

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks Darius, got your FC reports on the Play Store console. I see what's wrong, I'll fix it. it's a special case though, so it shouldn't happen too often.

Cheers mate
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Yeah I limited the amount of news on each column for performance reasons. But the next step on that is to implement infinite scrolling lists with lazy loading of feeds while you scroll down. Should come along with the continuous sync update :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mk.Xal:
Very good news, thank you !

And as a feature request, the ability to mark automatically as read articles when I scroll down a list... it is just a feature request but I used a lot this feature with my previous rss/google reader app.

Keep doing good work :)

If you want some beta tester I can help you (galaxy s2, slim ics (android 4.0.4), french language).

And yes, I have already bought your app :p
[Android Apps and Games] Gunde:
Yay! Auto-refresh working!

Thanks for the update.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
Great update as always. I can't wait for continuous sync to be implemented.

However, is there any chance you can look at this persistent bug? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25790887&postcount=22

I've brought it up several times and hoped that with every update, the bug would be squashed. Alas, it's still present since 3.0 was launched.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Yes It's on my TODO list, I found another feed (Kotaku) which has the same bug, the problem comes from the HTML of the article in the RSS Feed, it contains a lot of spaces in the beginning for some reason ...

I'll come up with a rule for this case without breaking the well formatted articles.

Thanks for reminding me.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
Kotaku is a Gawker Media site along with Gizmodo and Lifehacker which is why it has the same problems too. Basically all of Gawker sites will have the issues.

Glad you're gonna take care of it!
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
For others maybe it doesnt happens often but for me it was everytime. I just kept on using it with the FC and all. Mind telling what is it? maybe it's conflicting with another app or something?

And once again, thanks for such a quick look up!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey Darius, the problem seems to come from a specific article which is waaaaay too long (the content text from what I read in the logs) and seems to overload the memory :/ So each time you're trying to load the array of articles to load in the popup. That particular article causes an out of memory.

Try this to see if I'm right. Clear data, re-import your labels (it won't import read stories so that article shouldn't get imported), and tell me if it still crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
One thing I'm not fond of with the recent update. You took away the choice to "not load images"

Sent from the current Heavy Weight champ GALAXY SIII
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
Wow xD It's hyperfast now. I was missing that. So maybe you can do something to delete old data? Cause I've been having this bug since like a month or more now, and that has to mean hundreds of articles still in memory, though not displayed, my wild guess.

Unless there's a button already for that and I havent read the instructions?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I was waiting for someone to complain about it, just thought no one really used that option :p

I'll enable it back in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
There's no clear data button in app, but I'm actually thinking of adding one. Ideally I need to implement a better management of the database after long time using the app. I'll add that to my TODO list for the next version.

[Android Apps and Games] Carlos72:
The problem of small number of downloaded feeds continues.

In the beginning, after you uninstall and install MRP, it downloads 100 feeds per time. After a short time, it starts to reduce the number to 30, 40.

The only way to revert this is resetting the app, but after some time the problem comes back.

[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I've actually changed the max amount of news per refresh making it dependent on the internet connection you're on.

On Wifi/4G it's set to 100

On 3G/3G+ 50

on 2G and below it's 30.

It's an experiment from my experience of using the app in the metro/outside, as I like to get my news as fast as possible.

But next version will definetly have a manual setting to override these values, as it seems to be a frequent request.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Can you give me more details ? be as precise as you can so I can understand what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] mettleh3d:
Thanks for your constant support and attention to this app. I really love it!

On 2G (EDGE), is it true that refresh will not download images? I'd like for images to download anyway even on 2G if possible.

thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Yes, on EDGE, images wont be downloaded, I found out that it sucks way too much battery. I can add it as an option, but I'd like to keep the number of available options low to avoid confusion and a super long settings list.

Maybe I'll just do an "Advanced settings" screen with those kind of power user settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
A new bug cropped up on 3.0.2b where an article launched from the widget would have it's buttons (Share, Favorite, Browser, Back) unresponsive. Tapping on them does nothing and the only thing you can do is wipe backwards or forwards between articles.

It doesn't happen all the time, but has happened to several articles I've launched.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey guys,

just pushed an update on the Play Store, v3.0.2c :

- Brought back the Max Items option on the scrollable widget

- Fixed the bug with Kotaku/Lifehacker websites that have white spaces in their content

- The database is auto managed now, limiting the total size of the DB to a decent number to speed up the app.

Tell me what you think guys.
