Request/Ideas:

*Panel/Grid view mode. (Nice for larger screens aka nook color and HTC thunderbolt)

*a pulse panel like view to quickly glance through the first four or five recent feeds from each feed.

*perhaps an additional app/plugin to switch between http(faster) and https(slow) based on trusted networks. An additional fee for such usefulness would be understandable.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Loftus, i have some plans about this feature for a long time )

It's almost next in my ToDo list

runhopskipjump, don't really understand about Http/s. Currently you can switch between http/s in "sync settings"

About grid/panel and pulse like mode: I will think about this a little bit later, currently have much other work todo: stability fixes, better offline reading and better video playing capabilities, also need to change sync process.

so, based on everybody's feedback and errors, here is new rc :)

pls, try

fixed bugs from my email, better battery usage (especially, JustReader doesn't eat battery when autosync is off, was doing this a little bit, about 1% for me)
[Android Apps and Games] runhopskipjump:
Wow 1.3.5-rc2 is so smooth! Battery usage is down and it no longer uses the CPU when in idle. Best RSS feed reader I have ever used.

Suggestions:

* Combine "save image " and "open link in" menu when long pressing on images. At this time you get one option and have to toggle the "original sizes/fit images" option in the menu to get the other menu when long pressing. I use the "save image" alot. Subscribe to tumblr sites.

* A "keep unread" toggle next to the "favorites" star toggle seen in the right hand corner while viewing an article. Just make it spaced out from the "favorites" toggle because I remember constantly hitting the wrong toggle in other readers due to them being way to close to eachother.

* Ability to make thumbnails bigger. Perhaps a small, medium, large and extra large option. I use this app on a nook color and larger thumbnails would be appreciated. Other tablets would benfit from this as well. Then extra space with larger thumbnails would also allow more of the article summary to show while browsing feeds.

* Password lock for the app to keep people from going through your feeds.

That's all I can think of for now.
[Android Apps and Games] GeitjeG:
Thanks,

Yeah, setting mode to offline works, but then if i tap the title, it asks again to go online. Why is it asking? Can I disable this question? Would be great if this question can be disabled in settings.

Also, I love to read in mobilised-mode, with black backgrounds. Maybe you can make a setting to load all pages in this mode automatically?

I still find these settings unclear:

- Offline vs. online mode

- Load cached pages if possible

- Mobilized mode vs RSS mode.

These settings also seem to interfere, for example: now it is not possible to view online in mobilized mode with black background, is it?
[Android Apps and Games] Funnnny:
I found it very clear, if you understand what you want. Go from bottom to top

RSS mode is the RSS content, Mobilized mode is the content that JustReader automatic fetched from RSS source.

You can choose RSS or Mobilized mode, if you choose RSS mode, load cached pages if possible == Load Mobilized post if JustReader can load it.

Offline vs. online mode it just online and offline mode. in offline mode nothing will be load from internet
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Funnnny, thanks for explanations.

Let me explain it more detailed.

In mobilized mode JustReader loads web page (full article) in simplified (mobilized) mode.

In rss version it shows only text from rss feed.

"Load cached" - means load mobilized view from disk cache. You can set JustReader to cache full articles while sync (it can be usefull to view full articles offline)

Offline/Online/WiFi modes control how images and other resources load.

If mode set to Offline, then nothing won't be loaded from network, justreader will show everything from disk cache.

So, here is 1.3.5a.

Found an error in 1.3.5. Was not working on 2.1

This should fix

ALso, pls, if you have Android 3.0, try it. Does it work ok for you?

Cause I've got a feedback about frequent crashed on Honeycomb with sigsegv errors - no error is shown after JustReader restart.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] tgwaste:
Hello enacu,

Great News Reader so far. Glad to have a replacement for News Rob.

I was wondering if you could add a 'Mark All As Read' button on the Widget. I think this would be really really useful. A lot of the time I just have a few articles, it would be nice to just scan the headers in via the widget, see nothing useful, and mark em all as read.

thanks!

-tg
[Android Apps and Games] tgwaste:
ignore this post.
[Android Apps and Games] thx1200:
In RSS view mode, can we have the author show up at the top of the article? I seem to remember it being there before, but it definitely isn't there in the beta. Thanks! Keep up the good work. I love this app.
[Android Apps and Games] sunwee:
Hi

Firstly the back key for certain rss (gizmodo, lifehacker etc) seems to be fixed :)

Something else, under "swipe actions" settings, i have swipe disabled yet the articles still can be swiped left and right. I had to disable "Article scrolling" to completely disable swiping. Is this correct?

Btw, what is "Article scrolling" for? I had it disabled yet do not notice any differences, articles can still be scrolled...

Another thing, earlier I had suggested to have the option for caching articles post based on per feed, rather than a global "maximum post age". This is because some rss feeds are rather inactive, maybe only 1 or 2 post per week, yet I want to keep them around. I suppose you can starred them, but that's not a good option. Can you implement something like "keep last xxx articles"? You already have individual Feed preference setting for the Pro version, I suggest this option can be added there.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] GeitjeG:
Great, now it has stopped asking to go to online mode everytime (it would even ask when in online-mode).

Justreader is now the best Google Reader app I found!

I especially like the mobilized mode quick page loads and spartan page layouts: they read easy.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
tgwaste, put this task in my ToDo list

thx1200, thanks! Forgot to add this info with new layout. will add

sunwee, will see about article scrolling. It should disable it :)

Also, about these settings. Currently my sync process doesn't give such ability. Need to think how to implement it.

GeitjeG, Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sunwee:
sorry, would like to add another "bug" report on the UI.

previously, after we click link from article to go to the website proper, there is a loading bar at the top. then, even if we click another link within the website, the loading bar stays.

but latest version, the loading bar is beneath the page header and will disappear when scrolled off the screen, so if we click link in the webpage, we are not aware whether that website is loading or not.

hope you get my meaning.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
sunwee, there was not a bug )

Just didn't think about this.

Reverted back.

Here is new version. Must be much more stable on Honeycomb

More optimizations + bugfixes.
[Android Apps and Games] runhopskipjump:
1.3.5c is more stable than the previous. Every now and then I keep getting diskIO errors. While using 1.3.5b, I upgraded to a 16gb microsd card and justreader freaked out. I had to delete the folder from the SD card and reinstall the app for it to become usable again. I emailed the logs when it happened.

Question: is there anyway you could add a save image option when long clicking on pictures with hyperlinks please? I have to toggle the "fit image" option to get the "save image" option.

Also is the hardware acceleration still in the making? The option is unavailable on my nook color or HTC thunderbolt.
[Android Apps and Games] tgwaste:
long clicking on ANY image and saving it would be cool. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
Evgeny, you're awesome. Thanks for emailing me the update earlier! This version is really stable and smooth. Definitely shaping up to be the best RSS reader app for Android, ever. Keep up the good work! :D
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
runhopskipjump, will have a look at those errors.

Does it work ok now? (didn't quite understand)

and yes, just long tap on the image. (unfortunately, image will be saved in downloads folder if you have no ES file manager installed. didn't find some other file explorer to provide such service) thanks, tgwaste )

jjsoviet, I'm glad you like it ) thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] runhopskipjump:
Yes 1.3.5c has been working pretty well for the last couple of hours. Only once did thumbnails stop load. I was scrolling through a tumblr an I just stopped loading thumbnails throughout the whole app. All I had to do was restart justreader and I was back in business.

I think I found out my image saving problem. I use this app primarily on my nook color which has a screen res of 1024x600. Some articles aren't big enough to be require scrolling. So if I after some experimenting I found out if I am viewing and article that fits without the need of scroll and long click a image without zooming in on it first; I would be presented with the "Open link in" pop up menu instead of the "save image" option. To get the "save image" in said article, I have to zoom in a little then long press the image I desire to save. I don't believe it matters how much I zoom in. Unfortunately I don't have another tablet device with a large screen res to test on.

So for example: I view an article from a tumblr site. The whole article contains only a title and picture which fit with the 1024x600 screen res on my nook color. In order for me to save that image I would have to zoom in a little, but then long click the image to be presented with the "save image" option.

If I attempt to save image without zooming in first, I would be presented with the "Open link in" option instead. This only happens when the content of the article fit within the space of my screen and doesn't require scrolling.

I hope this makes sense to you. I tried to write things out step by step so you could possibly replicate it. I am not trying to nitpick. I was just feeling a little baffled and frustrated when the "save image" option appeared in some cases and not in others. Now that I know about this I don't mind to much about slightly zooming in before I attempt to save a image from an article whom fits this criteria. I would just like to save others from the frustration. I love this reader and use it everyday. I know this is a damn good piece of software when my only real complaint is having to zoom in on an article to save a picture in certain occasions. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Hardware acceleration sounds sexy. You are an awesome Dev!
[Android Apps and Games] sunwee:
thank you for taking all the reports and suggestions so far, very examplary developer and well worth supporting! :)

one more item i thought of, since i am not using the default gmail account to read the rss, Justreader prompts me every now and then (i don't know the exact timeframe...1 week?) to re-enter the password. could it be set that it "saves" the password permanently?
[Android Apps and Games] kitecarl:
Apologies if I missed this earlier I'm the thread, but I prefer to read articles in rss mode but even if I set this to the default view in settings it keeps reverting back to mobile. Any ideas? Thanks for a great app, I'll be a paying user shortly!
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
hi everybody!

I'm out of town - very slow internet. So I'll be brief )

runhopskipjump, got your point. will have a look

sunwee, will think about this. also, you should understand this is not safe. almost any app can get access to your google password

kitecarl, as I understand, you have free version, so you couldn't set individual settings for some feeds. Am I right?

also, did you set to cache full article text? (JustReader can download it). If it is so, JustReader opens cached full article ("Open if cached" option)
[Android Apps and Games] tgwaste:
To everyone using the free version:

Go buy the app!

This developer:

o has a forum hes active on

o provides constant updates

o takes other suggestions

o is very responsive.

the app cost $3. Ive paid way more for way less effort (*ahem* News Rob).

BUY IT!

that is all...
[Android Apps and Games] daleski75:
I second that this app is worth every penny
[Android Apps and Games] sunwee:
yes agree very much, please support the good developer.

i would rank this app among the top 10 of my most worthwhile android purchases :)
[Android Apps and Games] thx1200:
New old bug and more...

An old bug that I've noticed in all versions of JustReader that is still present in the beta. Some articles that blockquote, in the RSS version, sometimes only the first paragraph is blockedquoted, then it reverts to the far left margin. Here is an example article (excuse the political nature of it hehe): http://www.balloon-juice.com/2011/0...party-proves-tea-party-is-totally-not-racist/

You will notice if visiting that link that the majority of the article is blockquoted. But in JustReader, only the first paragraph is blockquoted. The feed is here for comparison: http://www.balloon-juice.com/feed/

Worse, in the Web View, there is no blockquoting at all. It's just all rendered flat.

Two more suggestions:

1. Select text for copy and paste.

2. A "share" option that doesn't copy the entire text of the article. I usually just want to share a link, not copy the whole article.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Thank you all for support!

thx1200, added this feed to my account. Will see what looks bad.

So, here is new beta!

Major change is new mobilizer: Instapaper. I've played a little bit with it and found it is much faster than Google Mobilizer, sp I set it as default.

You can change it of source in Settings (and customize per every feed).

Also, there are some bugfixes as usual
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Forgot to say

thx1200, you can share link by long-tap on any link, including title (then select send link)
[Android Apps and Games] thx1200:
Found it! Sorry about that. :-)
[Android Apps and Games] tgwaste:
I think there are to many 'Tricks' in the application that you need to know/learn in order to do certain things.

I think it would be cool if you could long-tap any article in the list and have a more robust menu:

Mark read until this

Mark read from this

Mark Read

Mark Unread

Reload Item(s)

Share Link

Add Star

Remove Star

etc... Put all the major options in one place.

Just a suggestion..
[Android Apps and Games] runhopskipjump:
I disagree. Things would get to crowded. That's why we have the swipe features. The you can mark read/unread and star/unstar articles simply by swiping them. And sharing links is a simple long tap. Remember K.I.S.S. (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID).

The only additions I can think of is a grid view, panel view, and slight tweaking of some themes and if possible the ability to select thumbnail size for high resolution devices like tablets and 4"+ phones.

I am one happy customer! Instapaper was a great change to justreader.
[Android Apps and Games] tgwaste:
What about a simple 1x1 widget that showed just the number of unread articles?
[Android Apps and Games] thx1200:
I dunno. Simple to me would be One Menu to Rule Them All, even if it had to have submenus. Like the menu how it is now, but "more..." as an option. The fact that you have to remember swipe left for one thing, swipe right for another, menu button TOP bar for another, menu button BOTTOM bar for another, and long press for another! whew! I'm tired!

Still, I love this reader. I can get used to UI quirkiness as long as its powerful. Just saying that "simple" sometimes does not always mean "not cluttered."

[Android Apps and Games] sunwee:
is there a option to switch between google and instapaper? i find that google does a better job on some sites (also is this a global setting or can it be made per feed basis?)

bug report: disabled swiping in settings, but posts are still swipable left and right. up and down is disabled though.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
sunwee, yes, of course, you can customize this.

You can set this in settings, account settings or feed settings

about the bug: there are two possible methods: "Article scrolling" (a new one)

and "Swipe actions".

to fully disable it you should disable Article scrolling and set "Swipe left" and "Swipe right" action to "No Action"

Also, here is 1.3.7 version. enjoy!

One more tip: don't use "Save data to SD". It's not very usefull.

There are some types of data used by JustReader:

1. database (it's rather small). it's about 200kb for me. Usually, not more than 500kb ("Save data to SD" controls where to store database). Internal memory is much more stable and fast than SD, so you should better store this in internal memory

2. articles and images. Always stored on SD, in JustReader folder

3. web cache. stored by Android WebView. in internal memory. You can disable it in JustReader settings. Can save about 10megs

download new version: http://dev-host.org/bo9xx2iu60kz/1.3.7.apk
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Hi!

just checked the problem you talk about. Web Google Reader shows this article the same way as JustReader. So, RSS provides such data. JustReader doesn't transform it.

Also, I tried to get full article text with new Instapaper mobilizer. It works much better
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Regarding UI changes:

I think UI should be reorganized in some way. Don't know currently how exactly.

I like two first fragments: feed list and post list, they are rather clean.

Post reading fragment is a little bit more complicated, I think.

I think, I should keep it clean (I mean, text only)

Also, there are some statuses and actions

statuses show in the top part of the menu and actions show in different places now: in menu, in context menus.

May be someone has suggestions about the UI?
[Android Apps and Games] de Wolfe:
This app is just so freaking awesome! Instapaper-implementation is BOMB! Loved to pay for this.
[Android Apps and Games] thx1200:
Actually, the original RSS feed does not show incorrect blockquotes. That was the first thing I checked. When you view the RSS feed in, say, IE, it looks perfect.

Instapaper formatting does look correct, which is nice. However, instapaper converts all the links, so when I click on a link to view in my browser, it takes me to the instapaper version of the link, which is kind of annoying. But I guess it's better than broken formatting. I wish it was possible to get the correct original RSS formatting, but I'm guessing since the google web viewer has incorrect formatting, it's a google thing?
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
de Wolfe, thanks!

thx1200, will fix links in the next version!

And it's not Google thing it's RSS thing. Website provides rss in such format, Google Reader doesn't add anything to this
[Android Apps and Games] dagaetch:
Using this on my gtab10.1 and love it. One thing - after the latest update, it doesn't show the author of each post? I follow several feeds that have different authors, and I want to know which of them wrote each post. Is there a setting that I need to change or is this a bug? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] thx1200:
I'm very glad to hear that because I was using Instapaper as my default view for a while, then I realized I was missing pictures and youtube videos, which are normally embedded in the RSS feed.

Thanks again for an excellent product and responsive support!

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to add a function to flip one page by a single tap while reading, just like many reading apps do?

For example, to tap bottom of the screen, it will go to next page...
[Android Apps and Games] Funnnny:
Just some thought.

JustReader should sync or send the read(-ed) list as soon as the phone get wifi/mobile connection (this is separate from sync the whole reading list). I usually use JustReader when in bus, but when I arrive at my work, I want it to sync just the read list and I can continue my read in my computer.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
tczhang, want to add this feature soon

Funnnny, this is planned too. want to change sync process

Yesterday enabled gzip compression for all HTTP requests. Found great traffic decrease!
[Android Apps and Games] daleski75:
Roughly how much of a decrease did you find when enabling gzip compression for all HTTP requests?
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Only RSS, 800 articles:

Before: 1.8 Mb

After: 0.2 Mb

RSS (both gzipped) + Instapaper mobilizer:

Before: 2,72

After: 0.75
[Android Apps and Games] daleski75:
Quite a big difference then looking forward to seeing that for real
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
So, here is the beta

http://dev-host.org/gwduobztm75q/1.3.9-beta1.apk

- gzip for all http requests

- better sharing. you can select template in settings

- some screen rotation fixes

Check it out!

Your a great developer. Always

Updating your app

Edit: link not loading
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Thanks )

I'm very proud to hear this
[Android Apps and Games] Suprah:
Link not working man

And no problem the app is way better then goggle reader
[Android Apps and Games] h46it:
+1

PS. What the advantage of Gzip other than size? I really don't know it does?
[Android Apps and Games] h46it:
Link was working for me!
[Android Apps and Games] Suprah:
Can you attach the apk to the post

Link is still not loading for me
[Android Apps and Games] h46it:
Here you go!
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Yes, gzip just saves your traffic and time (expecially, on slow connections)

Also, battery (less transmits - less battery usage)

But, slightly more battery usage because of more CPU usage (I think, it's a very little increase of CPU usage)
[Android Apps and Games] Suprah:
Thank you very much
[Android Apps and Games] h46it:
How do you activate the gzip? Do i check HTTP?

No problems! :)

Enacu was okay that I attached the apk?
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
I am okay ) Wanted to attach it by myself. Then saw your post. Thanks!

You don't have to enable anything. It's enabled and can not be turned off, cause it doesn't affect usage. It just optimizes data transmission
[Android Apps and Games] h46it:
Cool just making sure! :)

Enacu...i've been having problems with the app at times...seems like it gets hung up "cleaning up" and never seems to go to downloading images. Do have some wrong settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Suprah:
Can you implement categories in just reader so I can organize my feeds better

And maybe also include individual category sync.

So they can sync at different times
