- How is GeeReader Pro working on 2.0? I ask as NewsPile, another Google Reader, no longer works in 2.0 - the developer has indicated that work is being done on rectifying this - but in the mean time I thought I'd check out another app.
Has anyone used both of these apps? Which one do you prefer?02-28-12 12:51 AMLike 0 - Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm currently wrapping up a release now. This version will include the following:
- Share via email using the new built in email client in OS2.
- Share via Google Plus (Google+ browser window opened with required fields pre populated)
- Quick feed subscription navigation (mostly for use in portrait view)
- The article view state (Maximized or Minimized) will now be saved so that the article detail will be opened in the same state when reopening the app
- The article view type is no longer reset when reopening the app.
I'll submit this release to RIM next week Monday for approval.03-01-12 02:58 AMLike 5 - After the release mentioned above I plan to start rewriting GeeReader using the Qt framework on the NDK in preparation for transitioning to the Cascades UI framework. This means that I'm postponing the delivery of the offline caching functionality. Offline caching will then be included in the Qt based version of the app.
I'm just not getting the performance and responsiveness I'd like from the current AIR/Flex based framework. Qt will allow me to create a really awesome news reading experience.03-01-12 03:11 AMLike 6 - GeeReader is amazing - hands down my favorite Google Reader app on any platform.
Very well done!GeeReaderDev likes this.03-01-12 08:04 AMLike 1 - Dunno about the timing, but unfortunately you are right on the Android readers not being that great. With that said I have no choice but to use them as they have offline reading, the main feature I need as most of my reading is done when there is no Internet connection... *sigh*primusd likes this.03-01-12 08:19 AMLike 1

I've been using justReader and while the app itself is okay overall, it's slow syncing full articles.03-01-12 09:05 AMLike 0
- Enjoying geereaderpro much more than bbnews or glimpse. Great news that you're going to use the ndk. I'd love to be able to slide away the feed list on the left when shipping through the all articles summary pane - maximize real estate.GeeReaderDev likes this.03-01-12 11:39 AMLike 1

- I find it pretty quick for my 28 feeds. Not the sexiest app out there, but it gets the job done for me. Try it and let me know what you think.03-01-12 06:44 PMLike 0

- I was able to recreate this issue after moving some of my feed subscriptions from one folder to another on the Google Reader website. I'll see what I can do to fix this.03-13-12 09:05 AMLike 0

03-13-12 10:13 AMLike 0 - The 2.0.7 update fixes a lot of the unstable behaviour on screen rotation. Definitely getting the pro version now. Thanks for a great app!
All it needs now are some sharing options. Add to read it later/instapaper etc. The simplest solution would be to share by email, since most of these services provide a way to email an article to save it. IMO a couple of buttons to open in stock browser, and send to email (see WebReader f.i.) would be a very good addition.03-13-12 11:02 AMLike 0 - The 2.0.7 update fixes a lot of the unstable behaviour on screen rotation.

If I may add another request, here's my proposal for the Starred "feed". As the goal of starring is to have some kind of online repository of liked items, Google Reader web UI shows "All Items" always for this list. Is it possible to force the same behaviour in GeeReaderDev?
Thanks, Wolf.03-13-12 01:17 PMLike 0
