Arr! SS (RSS Feed Reader)

rrife · Thread Author #1 07-11-2009, 08:02 AM

I just ported the Storm version of Arr! SS to OS 4.3+ devices. You can get more information on my web site at Arr! SS Blackberry. The app is only a few days old and I'm adding new features every day, so any feedback is greatly appreciated. Currently the free version is nearly identical to the commerical version, so if you want you can save yourself $$$ until I get around to adding some more advanced feature in the commercial version (eg Google Reader sync, searching, etc.). Storm/Tour users should still use the version built for OS 4.7+.

awesome I was actually just looking for something like this

Wait so is it only the 4.3+ version that is free?

When do you think the google sync will be ported over? That is the only thing missing from all bb rss readers right now. Read the feed on your bb mark it read in google reader

No all versions have a "trial", the trial offers everything so far w/o any limitations. I plan to add some more advanced features over the next couple weeks to the non-trial version....so if you don't need those features, then there isn't much reason to buy the app (unless you just want to).

Both the 4.3 and 4.7 versions will offer the exact same features, except the 4.7 will take advantage of some of the new features in the API. I've got one-way syncing working now on my end, once I've fully tested it and verify that it's working good I'll put it in the non-trial version.....maybe some time next week. Full two-way sync will be possible, but I'm making that a lesser priority to adding more usability features and cleaning up the interface.

Will that syncing also include marking for share and starring (or at least starring)?

Not sure yet, I've not looked too much into what all I can do with Google Reader besides download the feed data.....if it is possible I'll try to get it working, no promises though

If you can do it, you definitely have a purchase from me. I'll be honest, I've used other RSS programs on both Palm and BB but it boils down to not having to reread the same items on both my computer and my phone. And also that there are articles that I want to read later and it's better to star them on google and read them later particularly when I don't know exactly when I'm going to get a chance. That chance might be on one of several computer or it might be on my phone. Flexibility is key.

Tried all 3 options, with mult battery pulls. Didn't work with the 3 pre-installed feeds or any fedds I tried to add.

....And I thought it was just me! Tried all connection settings and nothing. Can't add feeds or view default feeds. Curve 8320 OS: 4.5.0.52
Good luck with the app. though, I'm in need of a lite RSS feed reader.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to do some more reading on how Orange's internet connection works.
