I'm not getting my Z10 until Tuesday, but I'll be eagerly awaiting this to be released!

Email sent. A good Google Reader app is pretty much the one and only thing I want that doesn't seem to be available.

I'm using gNewsReader for a year now (Nokia) and I promise You this is the best one, and the fastest one for Google Reader! It has no 3D graphics

but when You need to read news this app simply does it's job the way it should. And of all my purchased apps, this app gave me most for my money because the author listens.

Looking at the screenshots it seems like all the folders are open by default, do they always stay that way or is it possible to collapse them down as it would seem like that would make it easier for people to get a clearer picture of all their feeds?

**simonfa** · 02-05-2013, 12:50 PM

I'm loving the app at the moment. Just does the job well.

**SCrid2000** · 02-05-2013, 03:39 PM

Gotta say I love this app.

**borceg** · 02-05-2013, 03:43 PM

Wanna test it

**Yogeshwar P** · 02-05-2013, 10:55 PM

Upcoming feature

will add collapsing support for folders (and saving that state for next app start)

**Wiredin** · 02-05-2013, 11:09 PM

need to see this app get to appworld... im lost without a good RSS reader.

**primusd** · 02-05-2013, 11:14 PM

any offline support?

**Yogeshwar P** · 02-05-2013, 11:34 PM

Not a current feature, but plan to add it

**BB1337** · 02-06-2013, 05:20 AM

I really need this app. Bring it to bb world and you don't need any 10k commitment...

**Yogeshwar P** · 02-09-2013, 11:44 PM

I've been testing this app, and wow... amazing. Simple, quick, and works perfectly. It's such a pleasure to use. I'm coming from BeReader on OS7 so I wasn't expecting to find a great google newsreader so quickly on BB10 but here it is!
