I have a xoom running ics. Things seem to be running OK.

What i have noticed:

1.The app sometimes mark a random article as read while opening it after an sync in the background.

2. At times the newest feed doesn't load. It just sits there in a black screen.

3. When I reach the bottom of the article synced for that feed, the feed seem to be attempting to load more articles but never does.

4. Selecting a article from the widget doesn't open the selected article in the app. I just loads what was last viewed most of the time.

Regardless this is my RSS feed reader of choice.

I've also noticed issue number 3 on the Nexus with 4.0.2
[Android Apps and Games] rjax:
Using the latest version from the Market on my 4.0.2 G-Nex (no strange crashes), here are a couple issues I've had:

If I'm reading an article in a feed, and there's a background update that happens while I'm reading, the screen flashes and I'm returned to the top of the article I'm reading.

If I click on a link in an article that I open in an external browser, then JustReader gets killed by Android to free up RAM, I'll sometimes come back to a blank gray page in JustReader. I can get rid of it by hitting the back button, but it's still not ideal.
[Android Apps and Games] kj767:
This happens on my phone, too. :(

This is still happens for me on JR 1.5.7a with my Asus Transformer, running 4.0.3

Its a bit frustrating as it happens without warning. Is there any way to force logging to capture some traces?
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Hey everybody!

Regarding strange issues with closing JR without notification:

I will contact you by PM

and I'm working on a new version. Will try to fix other issues mentioned here
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
Hi, I have purchased the app and it seems very good but I have a problem for some time, is that when I walk into a news do not load images. In the list are loaded, but not in the news.

Before occurred only with some particular feed, but now it does with many different pages of the site.

Have a solution?

Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] rjax:
I've noticed this happening a few times, and figured I'd finally report. I use JustReader in Offline Mode, and have it show only unread items. Unfortunately, when I'm reading a feed with multiple items, and I turn off the screen on my 4.0.2 stock rooted G-Nex, at some point JustReader skips over at least one article and marks it read, so that when I turn the screen back on I'm looking at a new article I never manually advanced to. And then, unless I change from showing only unread to showing all, I can't get back to the previous article since it's already been marked as read.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Hi everyone!

Sorry for long pause - I had much to do on my job

@bulthaup, could you tell me if you set to load images (Settings->Sync->Offline use->Load Images) or not?

@rjax, do you have auto sync enabled? I think, this can happen if auto sync occures while you are away from the app. will check this
[Android Apps and Games] rjax:
Yep, I auto-sync every 15 minutes. I don't really want to have to switch to a longer time interval, so if you could fix that, it would be great! There's another problem I have that I mentioned upthread that may be related -- when I'm reading an article with the screen on and an auto-sync occurs, I'll usually see the article I'm reading jump back to the top.
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
Hey.

Whether you put with connection or not, in many feeds do not load images.

I uninstalled and then installed the app and without doing anything, still without loading images.
[Android Apps and Games] tczhang:

[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
@rjax, one of your issues fixed. the other will fix for the next beta

@tczhang, @bulthaup, could you help me with this?

pls, send me some information about feeds having errors like this!

PM or send me by email: evgeny.nacu at gmail
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
Here are some web pages, that through my google reader for that.

Motorpasion, xataka android, genbeta. Are all Spanish page.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
@bulthaup, thanks for the information!

could you tell me if you set to download images (so them to be available offline) ?

and, if you set this, do you see blue or red image icons next to articles?
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
In the websites that do not load images, displayed instead a blue box with a question mark.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
@bulthaup, seems to me I did this

fixed image loading for mentioned feeds (and any other with such problem)

new beta is coming soon
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
Hi, I have some screenshots to better understand it.

As you can see the images do not load on many pages (and not all are).

If you look at the 4 capture, the two icons are saved and photo. Well that's because they have downloaded and had the configuration of the 5 captures and so if you see the pictures.

I do not want to download off-line because it takes a lot and always I have wifi. And turning off everything related to off-line, do not load many images.

I hope I have explained, thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
@bulthaup

I saw this. It also reproduces on my device

I fixed this. so you'll soon get beta version - have some more little features to implement. Don't want to roll out unstable version
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
So far I see no more errors.

I can wait for the beta in a few days, thank you very much for your attention, greetings and waiting arrangements.
[Android Apps and Games] justauser:
I have been absent for a bit and I've been trying the newest versions of various readers. I think there are 3 top readers out there: justreader, goodnews and greader. I am also a user of desktop rss readers and there are 2 features none of the Android readers have that the best desktop readers have. These are:

- watches: a watch looks like a folder, but you to specify conditions that if met make the article show up when you tap the watch folder. marking it read in the watch marks read in the feed. some readers mark read in watch if feed is marked read and some don't. this is becuase of a quesiton about whether you want to be sure you've seen articles that match a watch and people often skim and so mark the feed read but missed a watch match while skimming.

- filters: filters are similar to watches but if articles from the selected feeds/folders match (or don't match) a filter the article is marked read automatically. for example if I have a folder of feeds about soccer and am a Manchester United fan I might want to set a filter that marks any article that doesn't contain "Manchester United" as read.

These are features I tink you could put in a pro version, be really different and get paid for.
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
Well, since the moment I see more errors if I'd like to make a suggestion to enacu.

This function I'd like to have and that only two of all the apps for android that there are good news and have feedly,

Within the list to read the feeds grouped by folder, not having to go in and back out of the home page.

Good news does not exactly so, as you can read feeds in groups, but does not make them into folders. However if you do feedly folders.

This way is faster and orderly read all the feeds.

Well it's just a suggestion, that just takes a lot of work to implement.

A greeting.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
@bulthaup, thanks for suggestion. You are not the first who told this.

I will take this into consideration

Just uploaded beta version to Android Market

Here is the list of changes

1.6.0-beta

- native ICS interface for all android versions (2.1+)

- new themes

- sync fixes

- improved settings

- widget improvements

- fix: statuses could be reset sometimes

- possibility to disable feed sync (in offline mode)

- many other little changes
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
@justauser, these are very nice features, but I think, the next step I will do will be subscriptions management, then search.
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
Hey.

I tried the new beta and the problem is already solved. But I have set a trap for you to see that there is a feed that does not load the image in the list, however if you do read the fees, is a small problem.

The other image is because when you do not want to read small fragment, there are still plenty of space between feed and feed. Is there a solution without having to put the image size smaller? (I have a comparison with NewsRob to explain better)

Very good the new look, greetings.
[Android Apps and Games] runhopskipjump:
I like the new theme. The brown grid will just take some time to get use to. It feels real smooth.

My only issue is the "view more" area on the widget takes so easy of the space that could be used to see more articles. I usually get press the justreader icon on the top left of the widget to open justreader and "view more". Any chance we can get a heavy duty widget option with picture thumbnails for use on Tegra tablets?

I agree! I have to switch to another rss reader that will not be mentioned, temporarily install Google Reader or log on to a local machine to manage my feeds at the moment.

4G Xoom + Team EOS ICS nightlies = WIN
[Android Apps and Games] rjax:
Liking the new beta so far. One issue I've noticed is that clicking the 'mark as read' icon when on an individual feed article list results in inconsistent behavior. (I'm using offline mode, if it helps to know that.) I have the "mark as read" action set in the settings to take me back to the main feed list when I mark a whole feed as read -- and sometimes it works like it should, sometimes it doesn't (it stays on the individual feed article list and just says "No Items" instead of going to the main feed list.). Sorry I can't give you more details since I know inconsistent errors are tough to troubleshoot...

EDIT: One other request: Any chance you could make a user toggle that controls whether JustReader is able to kill background processes? I really like JustReader, but I also really don't like having a task killer doing its thing independently of Android. My browser seems to get killed off an awful lot, but once I used Titanium Backup to freeze JustReader, and the browser seemed to get killed off less frequently.
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
I also feel the same when frame feeds as read. Sometimes it returns to the main page and sometimes not.

And another thing, I put in the previous post. You may not want to see when short, you do not see so much empty space. That is, it could put the title of the feed that NO is above the picture and put in parallel?

Greetings.
[Android Apps and Games] siseam:
Are you planing to allow to add a client-to-server synchronization, e.g., to save the favorites on the google server?

Allowing to set a higher amount of saved feeds and loading as much for each feed as anyone wants to would be a very useful improvement as well.
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
@rjax, I sometimes notice some strange behaviour and try to fix these bugs.

will try to do this as I can

@bulthaup I think I can do this in next version (add image in parallel, not below the title).

@siseam, don't get your suggestion.

Starred items are saved to server right now. Also, you can set any unread article age (so every article will be saved on the device)
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
Hello enacu.

There is a small bug in full screen. When active, full screen is activated when I start the application (not when I read the article).

In non-beta version, it works correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] thawizard:
i like the colors in new beta. but you should still offer another with blue lines (ics) instead.

clicking on top bar of the widget will now bring it directly to the chosen feed. is it possible to start default justreader main view with the list of all subscriptions? (just as it was in the old 1.5). maybe as a choice in settings?

and when upon loading the webpage of a feed, there's always a very short (less than a sec) white blank screen coming before loading the webpage. that's very bright especially in dark environment + dark theme. any chance to fix that?
[Android Apps and Games] SrTapir:
+1 to this :)
[Android Apps and Games] siseam:
I am sorry, it seems you're right. The app does indeed sync the starred items bidirectionally. However, I did loose some favorites after uninstalling the app which was the reason for my post. Well, so far I don't know whose fault that was.

As for the second suggestion, I meant either to allow to save (un)read and starred items older than 6 months or to add the posibility to download unlimited amount of articles per feeds when scrolling. Actually adding both options would the best since then you could decide whether the content older than the global or feed preference should be deleted after leaving the article list. Though, I think, the latter would require you to be able to set feed preference from the inside ( while in the article list ).

Another option I'd like to have is an option to switch the way you open a folder.

In justreader by default you open a list of all feeds in a folder. To open the article list for the whole folder you need to click on the unread feed counter on the right. Some other feed reader to it the other way around.

It'd be great to be able to choose in this situation.

+1

I also like the fast download from instapaper and the narrower and slimmer interface bars, especially the new article bar the bottom is optimal.

But I would prefer the v1.5 way of button arrangement where the "mark as read" and "unread/all" buttons were at the bottom of the screen while in the article list.

Although the new version looks better, the handling got a bit worse because you usually hold your phone at the bottom so the distance increased.
[Android Apps and Games] SrTapir:
The new Readability function in the new Beta is a top one. This is the best mobility service by far. Has the same format as Instapaper with the Google mobilizer rendiring speed, a top :).

Thanks for including this. Your Google Reader client is becoming imbeatable.
[Android Apps and Games] tczhang:
+1

New theme looks great and Readability function is good as well. Picture download works fine now. Great update.

However, the "Please, buy pro version! " is annoying and affect reading experience. Would it be possible to have it removed anyway?
[Android Apps and Games] n7of9:
wow, the latest update is FANTASTIC! just keeps getting better and better

very easy to get rid of it...for less than the price of a cup of coffee :D
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
I agree the new Readability function is nice, thanks. It is fast and the pinch to zoom is nice to have. I do not like the new dark theme though. Leylak is OK, but it needs whiter text for my taste. The dark theme would be OK with some other color, maybe ICS blue.
[Android Apps and Games] CyberStorm98:
Love the new update!

Only 2 issues I can see and they both revolve around the widget.

1. The "view more" button on the widget is huge and just takes up space. Maybe just make clicking on the title bar perform the same action? I'd rather use that space for more article viewing

2. I changed the theme to Lelyak, and it looks MUCH better inside the app, but the widget still has A LOT of brown. Is there a way to make the widget match the app theme? Make the the title bar, unread article number, refresh button and all of the other brown things blue instead? It doesn't look bad, it just doesn't match anything else on my home screen and looks out of place.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Hi everybody!

Thanks for your feedback

I will consider your suggestions about ICS-like Holo theme. I think, I will add this one as an option.

About "Buy pro version" text: I think, it's ok to have ad on the free app. So, this text is placeholder for the admob ad. If ads are blocked, then you see this text.

Don't blame me too much. It's some kind of contract - you use app for free, but you see this.

@siseam, about your suggestions: I don't want to let users save articles forever because of technical problems. Android SQLite db doesn't work good when size is more than some megabytes. I had such options before, but there were many users complaning about performance and instability.

Also, about other possibility for opening the feed. I got your point. But now I think there is not so good to let user control every single little aspect of UI. Settings become overwhelmed. (I was doing the other way some months ago and now I would like to simplify settings and keep them simple. many are confused when they see such a big list)
[Android Apps and Games] bulthaup:
Hey.

In the final version remains the same mistakes that were in the beta, and we discussed it in previous post.

Full screen does not work alone when I'm reading the article, but at all times.

When we mark items as read, still does not return to the list.
[Android Apps and Games] tczhang:
Hi enacu,

I like your app and use it for over one year. However, I can't agree with you on this.

You might (or might not) know that in some countries, it is not easy for people to pay for apps. For those people, to support developers, they might have no choice but using the app. I rated your app five stars in Android market. I don't know if you think it is a kind of "support", instead of buying your app...

Secondly, it makes sense if the display can make money for you (by displaying ads). However, I don't see the point why you want to show a nag information there which will absolutely affect reading experience. Anyway, it is your choice...

Thanks for your great work on the app and I believe many people like it. Hope you will make it better and better.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Hey!

I appreciate what you do too. But I think it's ok to do this for many users. Will see

Also, I will make old way for beta version, so users can block ads it'd they want

Also, some time ago I was offering free pro versions from in app ads.

One more thing: I will publish some reviews and will try to give users free pro keys too
[Android Apps and Games] siseam:
Seems reasonable, though I wouldn't say your arguments speak against the ability to temporarily load more articles for a feed when you are in the article list and reached the bottom.

Examples where this option is helpful: You've set the unread limit to 100. Now you didn't use justreader long enough so that there more articles available than your mobile would save. So if you want to read all the missed articles either for all the subscribed feeds or just one there is no other way but to change the setting globally or locally, respectively.

However, if you are able just to load more content despite the settings, e.g., by synchronizing while in the article list, as the competitor "greader" does, or using a separate option like a special button or pulling up the list when at the bottom ( see the inverse option for updating in some twitter apps like "plume" ), you wouldn't need to worry about your settings and space in the long run.

Analogously temporarily loading older articles is useful for blogs with rare activity, exploring a new feed, searching for an old article, etc.

So only remaining question, as I understand it, is when to delete those extra items. For me personally, it would be enough if I can load more content without limit which is deleted as soon as I leave either the article list or the app. Another way could be deleting temporal stuff with the next garbage collection but not before you left either the article list or app.

Btw, a search feature is far more productive in coexistence with the described option above.

Something else: Right now in v1.6-beta, if I set the screen orientation setting to portrait or landscape but the global setting on my phone to auto, the latter overrides the app's setting no matter in what order the change of both is done. As a consequence, each time I change the window, e.g., opening a feed or an article or leaving those, the app shows the new environment in the set mode for half a second and changes then to the global mode. It doesn't matter what mode it is, the global one always overrides the application preference.

In my view, it would be even better, if after correcting this bug you could add a "sensor" and if you wish "inverse landscape" mode. Then "auto" would follow the global setting and "sensor" would prioritize the sensor even if globally a fixed mode was chosen.

At last, could you tell whether you are planning an option for (un)subscribing feeds since this feature would require the capability to set the appropriate tag/folder for each feed and possibly even the customization of order, which in turn would complicate the UI.
[Android Apps and Games] thawizard:
i think it just needs a simple adjustment. in my opinion the top bar in the widget should be following:

pressing on justreader icon on top left > opens the app

pressing on the subscription text > opens the subscription (in my case 'droid' will open 'droid' list)

alternatively, when opening 'droid' there is a < arrow on top left next to the icon. maybe make this go back to main app (list) instead of closing the app? or add a home button at the bottom of the feed in status bar (i drew it in blue :D).

i have practically not used just reader app icon in app drawer, because i had convenient app access via widget directly. now it is impossible to do that anymore and i have to use JR icon additionally.

and last question, why is there now a 'view more' at the bottom of the widget? i don't see any use for that. if one wants to read more, just click on the top bar. i think it only wastes space, before (without 'view more') was much better.

ok, i think that's all for my design suggestions about the new 1.6. everything else is looking well. :)
[Android Apps and Games] maxwintrobe:
1.6.1 beta terrific on Epic 4G Touch running latest leaked ICS ROM.

Long-time user with purchased key, went away for awhile to d7 reader pro because of online-mode sync speed performance.

Now back to JustReader full-time, with 1.6 the online-mode sync speed maybe even actually bit better than d7 reader, while scrolling smoothness with Justreader is far superior compared to d7.

Would echo other's comment about the aesthetics of the UI, maybe more blue and less orange, but that's just personal preference.

thanks for great app!!!
[Android Apps and Games] E_man5112:
I agree with the comments about orange vs blue. It seems android has gone away from orange in the UI.
[Android Apps and Games] aka70:
this app support arabic lang completely like "google reader" or not ?
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
I think, full screen is not a bug. It was made by me because of user requests.

and I can't see the bug about marking items as read. Could you tell what you do?

Do you press "Mark all as read" in the bottom?
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Will think about loading more items by user request (also, consider using online version if you want to load more items)

Also, will try to fix the issue you are talking about.

And yes, I would like to add (un)susbscribing. I think, there will be completely new one fragment with feed management possibilities + I would like to add catalog with search
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
Did already what you told about icon (icon in widget now opens app, not only the list)

+ i see what you tell me about UP home button. Will do this in the next version
[Android Apps and Games] enacu:
everybody, thanks!

I, probably, will add holo-ish themes in future releases as I got many such requests.

Also, I did workaround about blinking ICS webview (there is white blink on ICS devices - when using dark theme). It works not always. And it will be improved in the next version

I would like to release 1.6.1 today or tomorrow. It has some little improvements.

Holo-ish theme and other features will be in the next version (1.6.2 I think)
