Wolf (GeeReader addict :-)12-14-11 06:18 AMLike 0 - No problem... that's actually something that I've been meaning to add. You've just given me the motivation to go ahead and do it
I'll add some view mode toggle switches to the article title panel where the font size control buttons used to be.
I'll bundle up a few bug fixes and improvements like this into 1 patch and I'll release it sometime next week then.12-14-11 06:24 AMLike 3 - The "Mark Above As Read" function is exposed by that single icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the feed item list (See the attachment for the icon I'm referring to)
When you tap that icon then all unread items from the last visible item in the list up until the first item in the list (including those that you've scrolled passed) are marked as read. All items below that point are left as is.
I hope that makes sense?12-14-11 12:55 PMLike 0 - Purchased the paid version. You put a lot more work into it than I expected!!
One thing I'm noticing: In the old version, when I had a story open in a smaller window, I could place a finger on that bottom bar and swipe up and that would close the window. Now, when I place a finger on the bottom bar and swipe up, nothing happens. The only way to close the window is by pressing the orange back arrow button in the top left.
Being able to just swipe up on that bottom bar allowed for easier / faster one handed operation. ( I could hold the playbook, scroll through news, select a story, read, close story, scroll through more news .... all with only the right hand. NOW, using GeeReader requires two hands.
ALSO, what is that icon in the lower gray bar of the reading window, that file folder with a check mark on it? I tap it, and the check mark turns into an asterisk, but I can't tell if it's doing anything else...12-14-11 07:18 PMLike 0 - Oops...I'll add the "Swipe Up" function back.
The icon you are referring to is the "Keep Unread" option. When it changes to the version with the asterisk then the article has been "Kept Unread"12-14-11 11:07 PMLike 2 - I just bought it and I'll add my 2 cents, great app. The ability to use instapaper in the mobile view is outstanding. With all other reader apps I have tried, its either the small summary or the full web page, the option to just get the text is fantastic and all I care about. Offline reading would make it incredible!
Well done, great app, highly recommend it.

Offline mode has been on my todo list for a while now and was meant to make it into v2.0....anyway that's the next major piece of functionality that I'll be working on. I'm aiming to release the offline functionality early next year.Last edited by GeeReaderDev; 12-17-11 at 08:57 AM.
12-17-11 08:55 AMLike 0 - I have a problem with geereader when trying to load more posts, I would often be brought to the last posts of the new batch (I would have to scroll up to view newly loaded posts). Could you fix this? (I'm using the two column view /the rich view, and mobi article view).
thanks12-17-11 10:26 AMLike 0 - I know what you are talking about. I'll see what I can do to stop that from happening.marksasongko likes this.12-17-11 11:08 AMLike 1

Is there any way to add a "Next Unread Feed" to the Feed title bar to make the operation more direct?
Thanks! Wolf12-18-11 07:42 AMLike 0 - Sure I can definitely add something there to make it easier to go to the next topic/feed when in portrait mode.
How would you prefer that function to be exposed...
Opt 1:
- A simple "down" arrow in the title bar or toolbar which will always take you to the next feed
Opt 2:
- A simplified version of the feed list exposed as a drop down menu in the title bar
I'll also display the unread counter somewhere in the feed item list when in portrait mode.
I'm going to submit a patch to RIM tonight with the other changes I've mentioned in previous posts. I'll apply these portrait mode enhancements in the next version.Wolfgan likes this.12-19-11 02:14 AMLike 1 - Sure I can definitely add something there to make it easier to go to the next topic/feed when in portrait mode.

Does it sound good or will make the UI patchy?
Wolf.12-19-11 11:07 AMLike 0 - Is anyone else having problems logging in? I always get a "Login Error" popup with "An unknown error occured."
I have enabled two factor authentication on my google account and I'm guessing that's the problem.12-19-11 01:01 PMLike 0 - kingofthenerds likes this.12-19-11 01:42 PMLike 1
- GeeReaderDev:
Great job on the app! Love it!
Will you be supporting sharing on google+ any time soon?
I'm not sure it's even possible technically.12-19-11 01:51 PMLike 0 - Sharing via Google+ is on my todo list but it doesn't seem like there's a public API for this yet ...at least one that I can hook into using an OAuth token.12-19-11 02:03 PMLike 0

Thanks a lot.dimm0k and GeeReaderDev like this.12-20-11 07:07 AMLike 2 - Any possibilty of having the option of displaying more from articles in the list view the way Google Reader gives a "short" and "long" listing? That way more of an article would get displayed along with the article? Would allow an easier way to go through a bunch of articles and getting enough to know about the story without having to open it?
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com12-20-11 07:16 AMLike 0 - The "Tile List" mode (Added in v2.0.2) is a first attempt at providing more info about the article when in list view. Do you want me to tweak the presentation of the tile list view a bit?12-20-11 07:22 AMLike 0

1)geereader could save my viewing preference (fullscreen viewing or not)
2)when viewing fullscreen, text should be spread across the screen, not wrapped up in the middle
other than that, love your new update...12-20-11 07:52 AMLike 0 - Wow, thanks for the quick reply! Actually didn't take a look at the "Tile List" mode in v2.0.2 until now and I have to say I like! I was working off of the knowledge of how the "Tile List" worked in the older version. However I would prefer an option to go from 4 tiles to maybe just 2-3 rows worth of an article, that way you can still read what you'd normally see in 4 tiles mode, but larger.12-20-11 09:34 AMLike 0
