Where did you install the application? Device or storage card? I have it defaulted to look into the Program Files folder on the device for its update information. This may be the reason it's not showing up in AppToDate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ecard:
It's installed on the device, NOT the storage card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Ahh try it now. I had uploaded the wrong version. Sorry. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ecard:
That did the job, it works now :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] segadc:
So does this software directly link to google? Meaning, will my username and password be safe and not be seen by the developer (no offense)? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Correct, it goes straight to Google. I only use the username and password to get session IDs and tokens. The password is stored & encrypted (on the device) if you choose to check the 'Remember Me' box.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
If you look at the version number in the about sscreen, it says v0.5 Build 3427....I meant to change it to v0.6 Build 3427. I'll change it in v0.7. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
Hey i really like the new version, much better speed on the speed front :)

I have a feature request, would it be possible to add an option to only download the unread articles, tags etc as this im sure would add a little speed improvement and also stop any confusion of what it unread/read.

Thanks for the work on it!

Edit: Left it running in the background and got this error:

v0.6... the problem to display non-english characters has remained :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andriej1974:
Me too, program is great, but when is "ł ą ś ć" I see "?"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Thanks, I will fix that. Excluding read articles isn't too hard, I will try that.

Didn't have time to get multi-language support in v0.6, but it will be in v0.7...sorry about that.

I am working on mutli-language support and displaying non ASCII characters...will be fixed in v0.7. Thanks for the feedback.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Keland44:
very nice app only problem i seem to have i'm using a qvga htc wizard/cingular 8125 and the scrolling doesn't seem to work on the actual browser section of the app if it worked just as well as it does on the other two tabs that would be great

thanks again for the great app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
hey found another little bug, you cant link out the browser to read the full articles that are delivered to the program.

I thought that you click the header that is blue, underlined at the top but this just gets a box around it and does nothing else...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Wait for v0.7. I got rid of the tabs and integrated the first two tabs into one. And there is finger scrolling in the browser window finally.

It's been working for me, what device are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stacktrace:
Same thing happens to me on my Touch Pro. Can't view the full articles. I'm using a 6.5 rom with Opera as the default browser.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] norti:
This is the app I'm waiting for! :D Thank you! Sharing with notes option would also be nice in future releases!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Keland44:
nice are you planning to implement a mark all as read or a way to kinda check the articles we dont really wanna read it would be nice if it was an article we didn't want to read and slide our finger to the left to kinda like trash it and slide it to the right if we wanted to see the full article and i guess adding an undo feature just in case we grab the wrong article

i never really used rss features till you released your app you have taken me to a whole new world THANKS!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
im using a polaris, 6.1, QVGA and opera 9.5 is my default browser.

also +1 for the mark all as read button, would make it even better :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Hmmm, weird, because it is supposed to use the in-program browser to view those articles. I will try to recreate this on my xperia.

I can enable shared items, but I'm not sure about notes.

Ability to mark articles as read (without reading) is coming.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stacktrace:
I think you may have a truncation problem with RSS urls in your app.

I subscribe to three RSS feed from the same forum:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=23

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=63

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=68

Instead of the RSS data from each of those feeds I'm getting the RSS

feed as if the url was truncated to:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/external.php?type=rss2

which is something like the first post from each of the forums on that site.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Is that how it's shown in Google Reader (desktop version)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stacktrace:
Nope, it shows up fine in the desktop version.

What I described in my post

above happens when I go into

the Tags tab and navigate to each

of those rss feeds. They all

show identical articles; which

happen to be from that truncated

url i posted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maedox:
Nice program! :D

Would you please consider adding support for nordic characters?

I'm talking about æ,ø,å... Test it with the RSS feed from http://www.aftenposten.no if you need to.

Any æ,ø,å show up as ?? in the text.

Also, every time I try to refresh manually, the program crashes with the following error message:

--

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
any news on an update for it?

Waiting patiently... but looking forward to the next release
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Thanks for this crash data. I am working on greatly increasing stability. I will look into adding support for nordic characters.

I have been working on it pretty consistently for the past week (besides the holiday weekend). I added some new features, right now I am working on stability stability and bug fixes. I hope to release v0.7 by Friday night.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] segadc:
Awesome! Looking forward to it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
any more news on the update, said yesterday on your blog...

no release makes me sad :( lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Hey sorry about that. I am adding more stability improvements and just added support for non english characters. I just have to test the app at different resolution. It (v0.7) will be out this evening.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
woop woop! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
v0.7 Released

New icon for program

Icons by each tag, subscription, article displaying whether an item is read, unread, starred

UI redesign (consolidation tabs into one)

Touch scrolling in the browser

Ability to star articles

Ability to hide read articles

Multi-language support
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Overall looks pretty good, but touch scrolling in the browser doesn't work for me? Every time I tried, it just did selecting. Using the ROM in my signature.

BTW, do you force the install to main ram? I always install to the SD card, but when I went looking at the install, I found the App to Date XML on the Storage Card by itself, and the app in main ram. Not like it's a large program, but I just do it out of habit. Anything that isn't a primary program for me, or doesn't run all the time, gets put on the SD card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Infestor:
Nice one! I have been waiting for a Google reader app for a long time. Still, I found some issues:

1) Passwords containing characters like "*" or "#" do not work - I had to change my pass to be able to login via Speeed Reader. Would be nice if you could fix that.

2) Is there any way to include a link to the full-text article, since some of my feeds only contain the headline?

Anyways, keep up the great work! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] segadc:
Looks great! I would like the option of just seeing the reading list when I open it up. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
First have to say it is very good and much better looking than the previous versions

1. So far i would say that i have the same problem as khaytsus where the touch scrolling does not work.

For me its not too much of an issue as i have a dpad but touch scrolling would be good :)

2. Also the scrolling on the tags list is a little erratic and will scroll well with a controlled press and move but a flick results in a blur and then the top/bottom of the list and no way to be able to stop it mid scroll

3. And lastly the pictures arent resized to the screen width. This im not too bothered about but it would be nice to have them the same witdth as the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
What version of Internet Explorer is present on your ROM?

Hmm, I wasn't particularly forcing the install to the device. But I will do some digging to see what I can find out. Thanks!

You can click the article title (in blue) to go to the full-story. It should load in the browser window. Let me know if this is not happening for you.

Thanks, I will make that an option! Will be in v0.8.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
It's starting to look very good but the browser scrolling doesn't work for me on the omnia.

Also the text in the browser is a little too big. I think. You could have a setting for the text size.

The heading for each post is only one line. It need to wrap so we can see the whole header. It's nearly ok on landscape but not enough can be read on portrait.

It won't install to SD card. That's annoying but not a deal breaker as the footprint is very small.

I don't see the new icon for the program. (this is fixed after soft reset)

Can you give an option to use an external browser?

Can you release some minor updates (i.e 0.7.1 etc...) so we don't have to wait for a major update. We are impatient here :-)

Jeannette
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanne8fr:
Touch of the browser screen doesn't work on Omnia. (I already said that in an other post)

There are no scroll bars.

Clicking the blue title doesn't work either.

Keep up the good work though. You are getting there and I can't wait to be able to trash pRssReader.

Omnia running WM6.5

Thanks,

Jeannette

Nice!:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vadim_bogaiskov:
Hi, emuneee!

Thank you for the last version! One works very good on HTC Diamond.

How you support languages? I have translated version 0.7, but using code hacking:

But imposible to translate 3 words:

starred

broadcast

blogger-following

that does not make a mistake in the app. Make this words translateable, pls. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sparhawk6:
Wow, this app is really coming together! Awesome!

A few things:

1) Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how I can star articles.

2) I second the request for the ability to load up the reading list on launch. Glad that's coming in 0.8.

3) In conjunction with that, I'd like to be able to auto-login instead of having to press "login" each time.

4) I'd like to be able to show more than the max of 50 items in my reading list at one time - perhaps 100, or more. I understand that loading more items will increase the load time, but that's something I can live with and I'd like to be able to control that myself. One thought would be to add a button on the bottom of the reading list to "show more stories." (kind of like google.com/reader/i). Pressing that would load up the next 50 stories or so in the list. I'm weird I guess...maybe only 40% of the stories in my reading list are interesting to me, so I move very quickly through my list and I can easily move through 100 stories in one sitting.

5) I know that this was mentioned before, but I'd love the ability to share articles and add notes.

6) Is there anyway to get rid of the scroll bar in the browser window and just make it a touch scroll? Probably not, you'd need to keep it working on non-touch screen devices. (probably the only reason I'd want an iphone, uniformity for app developers).

7) This is just a general thought on UI design - I prefer each story to have more vertical space, with perhaps the first few words of the body of the story as well as the title. This is just a preference thing. What's there right now works.

This is quickly becoming my preferred app for reading my greader list on my phone. Great work. Keep it up. I've been waiting a long time for an app like this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jazzrich9:
Awesome work.

A couple of thoughts, mostly really small things:

I think it would make sense for the browser view to have the "close" button renamed as back. since the linear progression would be: Feed > articles > browser it seems to make more sense to go "back" from reading the article to the list of articles under that feed. Like I said, super minor.

It would be nice to be able to customize the default browser for the show original version option to something other than IE if the user has something else installed.

I would love to be able to customize the sensitivity of the scrolling or disable it. I use ftouchflow which would give me scrolling within your app, but it conflicts with the scrolling already built in. With it off, I have to really press hard to get anything to scroll.

Also under settings, in my 320x320 screen I have no way to get to the bottom option, I see a checkbox, but cannot read what it is, and there is no scrolling at all here, so I don't know what the option does.

---

I did notice one bug that I've had difficulty reproducing... sometimes the articles list will open the wrong article (the one right above it) if I go back out to feeds and back in, it's corrected.

Again, great work. You could just about leave it alone at this point and it would still be my daily reader.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fishboy:
eeenno,

This is a great app and I appreciate the work you have put into creating it. I have not noticed any bugs in version 0.7, but here is my wish list of features for the next version (I think some have been mentioned before):

Auto-Login on startup.

Remember the position of all lists on return instead of jumping back to the top. For example, if I read an article in the browser and then return to the Article list I have to scroll the list down again to get to the next one. Same applies to the Feed list.

Some kind of scroll indicator (not a scroll bar) for your lists to show current position within the list.

When viewing list of articles, maybe show the count of unread articles for the current feed instead of all the feeds.

Display a different color icon (or gray out the text) for Feeds that have no unread articles (like you do for the list of articles)

Different size icons for QVGA, VGA, etc. The icon size seem to look fine in your screenshots (VGA or WVGA?), but are rather big and unsitely for QVGA (and take up a lot of room).

Option to mark an article read, or all articles read (either via the softkey menu or via a tap-n-hold popup menu).

Scrolling in Browser window (still does not work)

Thanks again for you efforts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fishboy:
If I understand correctly, the Reading List shows a combined list of all articles from all Feeds/Subscriptions under a given tag. I am quessing this is a Google API call to get this list, and is why there is a seperate "number of articles to download" setting for this?

If so, is there any way your application could create its own Reading List locally based on the Feeds/Subscriptions already downloaded? That way you could see the same articles in the Reading List as you would if you navigated each Feed individually, and would also not require a second download (or seperate setting).

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Thanks for the feedback. I will have to figure out another way to implement browser scrolling. I will also try to make each title multiple lines, but this may be a limitation of the UI controls I am using. WM caches program icons, so you will have to soft-reset to see a new icon. An option to view pages in your default browser will be added.

I will start making some incremental releases instead of major releases so I can make updates quicker. :D

To solve the linkage issue, I will just an option to the menu that says to open the link to the article in the browser (or your default browser). I'll look into scrollbars.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
1. To star articles, you must select an article from the list, then go to Menu->Star Article. You can also do this from the browser.

2. Will be added

3. Thanks, will be added

4. I can add the ability to add more items, however, I did run into Out of Memory errors during testing, when I loaded up 100 articles. I will play around with this and see what I can do.

5. Sharing articles is coming, I will look into notes

6. I can get rid of the scrollbar (I think), but I do want to eventually add Windows Mobile Standard (non-touch) support. Also, touch scrolling isn't working for some people.

7. Thanks, I will look into this and play around

Thanks for the feedback!

1. Thanks, you are right about renaming it to back. :p

2. I will looking to this as well

3. Maybe a bit harder because, I didn't design the UI controls. I may be able to reverse engineer somethings. I'll see what I can do. What is ftouchflow by the way?

4. Ok, will add a scrollbar to that screen. Didn't test the settings menu in 320x320.

5. I have had that bug to. Whenever the program updates in the background, it fails to update the list of tags, articles, subscriptions you are looking at. This will be fixed in the next release.

All your points will be taken into consideration. Thanks for the feedback.

Correct, there is a separate call for this. I have been contemplating this as well. Actually, in my own development builds I have done this already. I just chose to use make an extra request for now for simplicity reasons. Also, when you first load Speeed Reader, there aren't any articles loaded into the application. I just pull the tags, subscriptions, and unread information from Google. So to generate a reading list, I would have to download all the articles at once. Which would be no problem after the initial refresh (which downloads all the articles). I however, will come up with some sort of hybrid method way of doing this. Thanks!

Again, thanks for the feedback everyone. I will be on vacation until Sunday :), but I will make an incremental release (0.7.5) that contains some more features and bug fixes on Monday!

Cool have fun. You earned it! ;)

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arghness:
Hi, since the update to 0.7 (previously using 0.6 which worked fine except for the "Refresh" option causing a parse error), Speeed Reader hasn't been working for me.

I log in successfully and it correctly shows my tags and how many unread articles there are. Selecting Menu > Settings gives the following error:

ArgumentOutOfRangeException
Specified argument was out of range of valid values.
Parameter name: value

at
System.Windows.Forms.NumericUpDown.set_Value(Decimal value)
at
eeenno.SpeeedReaderUI.Forms.SettingsForm.LoadSettings()
at
eeenno.SpeedReaderUI.Forms.SettingsForm..ctor()
at
... 8< *snip*

The other issue is that while I can read the articles, and the unread article count goes down, if I quit and reload the application, all the articles are unread again.

I've tried holding down the button and using "Mark read" and "Mark unread", but these don't appear to do anything that I can see.

The touch scrolling in the browser works fine for me, by the way.

Would it be possible:

- to save zoom preferences

- to have a next to got to next unread article

Thanks,

eric
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twe90kid:
hmm... i have a question.

when using the program to read the articles. does this automatically mark the article as read when you login into greader when your on a computer?

it seems like ti doesn't do that. when i'm on google reader on the computer, the articles that i read on the phone still shows up online
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hkultraman:
seems currently when you are an article using this google reader client which does not update the article status at google as read, isn't it? this may lead us to read the article twice. once on mobile and once online.

i would like you to add preference to use Skweezer to display article on selecting a item in article listview. this can resize the image and save bandwidth.

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twe90kid:
couldn't explain it any better
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hkultraman:
what i mean is it seems that i have read an article using that google reader client. it doesn't mark the status of the article that i have read as READ. Then when i using desktop web browser to open the feed. the article is shown as unread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twe90kid:
i know what you mean, i just meant to say i couldn't explain it better than you have
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Sorry guys, I have been busy the past couple days. I did make some changes in v0.71 (available now) to mark those articles as read. I will keep making progress in this area.

This is a minor update focused on stability and code optimizations.

V0.71 – June 10, 2009

Added auto-login capabilities, this option can be toggled at the login screen and in the settings

Added the option to load the reading list at startup

Renamed ‘Close’ to ‘Back’ (in the browser form)

Resolved a crash involving empty subscription list, program will end gracefully J

Code tightening and optimization

You can run AppToDate to download the latest version or download it here:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twe90kid:
are you sure it updates it as read when we read on a computer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jodeltje:
It's still not updating the read articles in the desktop reader :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scotcha12345:
perhaps

Is it just me that when I read Blogs / articles, the text tends to be in columns aligned with the left side...but the pictures tend to be towards the middle...making me have to scroll over. Anyway to fix this? In PIE or Speeed Reader?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scotcha12345:
currently

Btw, Im using a Verizon Touch Pro on SSK 2.0 rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arghness:
Yup, same issue as my post in #69.

I actually had 2 issues, the one with "settings" too - do you also have that? They might be connected.

The version before 0.70 worked fine and did mark articles as read.

Edit: I did just manage to get the settings page up without it crashing, but I can't reproduce it. The error message that I still usually get is as shown in post #69
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jodeltje:
i like to have it open and download the feeds automatically, so when i want to read them they're already downloaded....

unfortunately speeed reader crashes veeeeeeeeeeeery often.

i hope this can be fixed in a furure version.:D
