Even the loading webpage is faster. :yes:

Worth every penny.

if the option to add facebook feeds was added , it would be super.

Great app and excellent new features Thanks :yes:

Great app, I use it all the time.

Quick question, why can't you scroll down further to read older tweets in the Twitter feed? I can only view up to one hour back in any tab.

Thanks

Thanks Azam! Auto-more is enabled on the Twitter tab only. I thought doing auto-more in tabs that had a mixture of RSS and Twitter content would give a confusing experience, so I disabled the feature on those other tabs. If you aren't seeing the behavior on the Twitter tab, you likely added more filters in there.

Yes it's understandable not having auto more for a tab containing mixed RSS and Twitter content but I am not experiencing the behaviour with Twitter only tabs either.

As a test I removed all filters and created a new Twitter tab containing just my family members as friends. Unfortunately I am just seeing entries in this tab for the previous one hour with no auto more options to scroll down.

Am I understanding the concept incorrectly?

Hey Azam,

If you just create a tab filtered to "All Tweets", that'll include the auto-more feature. As soon as you add any filters, I disable auto-more on that tab - even when those filters are (as in your case) Twitter friends. If I were to enable auto-more for friend-filtered tabs, I would have to keep grabbing "pages" of tweets until I found more tweets for those specific friends. (If I didn't there would be holes in the timeline in other views). Or I would have to build tabs from querying the individual user's timelines, which has some other side-effects. You know that clicking on any given friend's avatar takes you to a view of that friend including their last 30 tweets?

Fair enough, you are correct.
Thanks for the reminder on clicking the avatars and seeing last 30 tweets.

Just another thought, is it possible in a future version to give users the option to rearrange the tab order? At present it appears in 'date created' order with the exception of 'Hub' and 'Priority Hub' which rightfully are at the top.

Yes that's on the backlog. A couple of other people have asked for that too.

Thanks for the update today. Awesome app!! :yes:

Are you planning to add retweets, favorites and replies to each tweet. I check tweets to see how many times they've been retweeted and by who. Would make me use twitter in feedminder instead of the bb10 twitter app

That's a request I haven't had before. As I'm sure you know, you can tweet/retweet/reply in the app, but I haven't been asked to display the existing retweets and favorites on each tweet before. I am getting that information in the request, so I could certainly add it if I can work out where to squeeze it in on the UI.

I'm not planning an update in the immediate future, but I'll add that to my backlog.

Thanks for the feedback.

Andy

Thank you!

Is there a way to alphabetize the feeds?

Posted via CB10 / 10.2.1.1925

Please, by the name of sweet jebus, make it headless!

add facebook, BBM, whatsapp(Status and photo change) to this app.. nothing beats it in the world then...

seriously need the old BBOS social feeds on BB10

Great app so far!

Is it possible to open in reader mode by default?

As well, is it possible to view only unread?

Finally, a HUGE plus one on customizing tab and feed order.


Thanks!

One more request: can you please add an option to delete the history and cache?

Some sites (eg Globe and Mail) track your reading and limit article views: deleting your history and cache in the browser prevents this but doesn't work for the app.
