[2013-01-09] A Google User: Lacking functionality I miss some functions like Mark as unread. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Worthless Could be very good. However, not very good when CNN's rss feed doesn't work with the app (only the title appears, not the actual article). CNN is such a big name news company that it SHOULD be made compatible to work with this reader. I emailed the developer a week ago but no response as of yet and I am not holding my breath on ever getting a response back. Update: All I keep getting now is this "refresh might be needed" crap. Hit refresh and nothing gets rid of it. An uninstall surely will. Worthless app. |
|
[2012-12-14] A Google User: A charm! Awesome app for displaying feeds on your desktop. My only complain is that "small" type in Android 2.3.4 is still way too big. Wish we had the option to set type size. Keep up the good work! |
|
[2012-12-14] A Google User: Looks good, works fine. Does the trick, looks better than other widgets i tried. I'd like to have more than 4 items viewable at once. Is this option available in the pro version? (Then I'll give more than 4 stars ;-) ) |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: Stopped Updating It worked unreliably for months. I simply ignored it, but now I'm ready to move on. It won't refresh. It has a great layout and aesthetic, but doesn't work. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: liked it Ones of my must have widget on every Android phone I used |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Excellent app! Love the minimalism. Got to it through XDA App of the Year, which it deserves to be. Excellent if you're a news geek |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Could use more gestures Please use vertical swiping to scroll widget articles, rather than arrow buttons. |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Doesn't sync with Google Reader... ... and also crashy. |
|
[2012-11-08] A Google User: Not for me Created widget and imported google reader, but widget never showed up on my screen. I'm not going to uninstall clear data and reinstall, I'm just uninstalling. I'm trying to get rid af google reader anyway. |
|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: Galaxy Nexus My preferred news reader widget |
|
[2012-11-02] A Google User: Puam verdigim tek uygulama Tamamrn hak ediyor. Kendi icinde haberleri okutma ozelligi bile var. Tam haberi de okuyabiliyosuniz. Baska rss programina gerek bile duymayabilirsiniz ben googlerader ile kullaniorm.temalarinin olmasi da unal aysalin cilegi gibi bisey |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: Great app, buggy on jb Great app, but keeps closing unexpectedly on jelly bean. Any other version of android and this gets five stars |
|
[2012-10-19] A Google User: Good app Decent app but not for me. Stock g reader will do |
|
[2012-10-16] A Google User: Font I want to choose my font. |
|
[2012-10-14] A Google User: Not so minimal these days Liked it more when it was minimal. But still good. |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: trash in my logfile, consumes too much resources 10-05 15:38:06.449: WARN/TESTSETVICE(25585): #### Service started, with widget id 16 #### and command : plus 10-05 15:38:11.473: WARN/TESTSETVICE(25585): #### Service started, with widget id 16 #### and command : plus 10-05 15:38:16.488: WARN/TESTSETVICE(25585): #### Service started, with widget id 16 #### and command : plus 10-05 15:38:21.512: WARN/TESTSETVICE(25585): #### Service started, with widget id 16 #### and command : plus 10-05 15:38:21.613: DEBUG/dalvikvm(25585): GC_CONCURRENT freed 437K, 5% free 11330K/11847K, paused 3ms+4ms, total 35ms 10-05 15:38:26.527: WARN/TESTSETVICE(25585): #### Service started, with widget id 16 #### and command : plus 10-05 15:38:31.559: WARN/TESTSETVICE(25585): #### Service started, with widget id 16 #### and command : plus 10-05 15:38:36.574: WARN/TESTSETVICE(25585): #### Service started, with widget id 16 #### and command : plus |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Fairly good Good customisation makes it work with different home screen themes. Being able to change text colours would be nice though. A bit buggy on auto-scrolling sometimes. |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Okay. Could use a better interface when you open it up. A little redundant to have to click the browser twice to go to browser. |
|
[2012-09-19] A Google User: Best Widget Ever Smooth and fast on my Atrix 4G (Jelly Bean) |
|
[2012-09-11] A Google User: Force closes |
|
[2012-08-23] A Google User: Excellent. Enough said. |
|
[2012-08-22] A Google User: Excellent Thank you so much for this app. It works flawlessly on my phone. |
|
[2012-08-22] A Google User: 5 stars if it didn't crash with JB Every time I try to open an article in the reader it crashes. This was my favorite reader but now I can only read the previews since the articles won't open. The clear data...uninstall...reinstall thing didn't work for me. Please fix so I can rate 5 stars... |
|
[2012-08-18] A Google User: Widget Doesn't Work Right On Jelly Bean the widget's "buttons" come up as black squares when sent on transparent background. Kind of pointless if I can't use it the way I want to. |
|
[2012-08-14] A Google User: Great widget. Nice and clean, very configurable. A necessity on my home screen. |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: Jelly bean user Please fix for jelly bean |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Pretty but buggy - GNex This reader has a ton of potential but unfortunately falls sort of greatness due to bugs. I finally uninstalled it when it would not play nice with JB. Your results may very though. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Nice looking but non functional This app doesn't function. You ask it to just show new items but it shows you all items including some you've read hours ago |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: Fantastic!!! Exactly what I was looking for. A simple way to have my rss feeds on my homescreen. Keep up the good work! |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: Just what I needed Works great on MB300 running CM7.1. Tip: use Google Reader feeds. |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Note to self: RTFM Was locked and loaded with a one-star review ready to go for all the force-closures I was having (app was basically unusable.) Then I noticed the dev's 'clear data-uninstall-reinstall' note as fixing "all problems." Gave it a shot and widget now works as it should. Let this be a lesson to everyone struggling to diagnose computer problems: frequently, the defective part is in your head, not your hand. |
|
[2012-07-13] A Google User: Super Alles was man braucht um schnell mobil Schlagzeilen zu lesen, zb Tagesschau. Jelly bean theme problems when hiding arrows |
|
[2012-07-09] A Google User: Great!! Love the widget and support is fantastic!! Thanks |
|
[2012-07-04] A Google User: Simple yet awesome |
|
[2012-06-29] A Google User: Great reader Easy to use and very smooth |
|
[2012-06-20] A Google User: Really good! I love the auto scroll feature. It goes through the articles at specified intervals and doesn't show up in my battery usage stats at all. I had it set to ten seconds and then 30. Its super customizable. Show articles from last hour, 6 hours, ect., update interval, appearence, ect. ect.. Developer is devoted, helpful, and has agreed to make an option to open links in stock browser. Purchasing pro! |
|
[2012-06-18] A Google User: merge? When you say you merged the free and pro widgets, what do you mean? |
|
[2012-06-08] A Google User: Doesn't connect to Google Reader All sync attempts fail on Razr Maxx |
|
[2012-06-05] A Google User: The Best! I tried so many rss widgets and finally I've found exactly what I'm looking for. This cycles through headlines from multiple rss sources and displays them on a beautiful clean home screen widget. Thanks for creating the perfect news widget! |
|
[2012-06-03] A Google User: Doesn't refresh anymore. |
|
[2012-05-20] A Google User: ... ... |
|
[2012-05-18] A Google User: Excellent, but limited items = limited use The widget is excellet. Clean, simple and fast. Thank you. But I wish it wasn't limited to displaying 4 items. I'm running in on the 7" Nook Color, and I really want a full home-screen display (4 colums, could probably fit 10 or 15 headlines) to view all the headlines at without having to scroll. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. |
|
[2012-05-07] A Google User: LauncherPro Wouldnt show up in the widget list on Desire under launcher pro |
|
[2012-05-04] A Google User: Issues lately Was very good, but now it routinely loses sync and will not refresh, even manually. Have to reinstall it each time. |
|
[2012-04-26] A Google User: ICS Support Looks to be not compatible with ICS? Shame. |
|
[2012-04-20] A Google User: What's up I can't open the app after installing |
|
[2012-04-18] A Google User: Blah... Super Slow and force closing all the time. Almost useless except for the transparency ... |
|
[2012-04-13] A Google User: Excellent and getting better It looks great on my homescreen, its really well designed. I loved it before the update and love it even more now. Well done. |
|
[2012-04-08] A Google User: Fantastic, totally customisable Wish there was a 2x2 version or something for photos, instead of only the tiny thumbnails, as I subscribe to a lot of photo feeds. |
|
[2012-04-06] A Google User: Love the app. I'm not a fan of the new logo though. |
|
[2012-04-06] A Google User: Love it! Great app love it |
|
[2012-04-04] A Google User: Works great Works great and meets my needs for a lightweight scrollable RSS widget almost perfectly. The developer is very responsive to issues and quickly solved a problem I was having with the latest release. Give it a try. |
|
[2012-04-04] A Google User: Nice!! Just downloaded but it like nice so far!! |
|
[2012-04-03] A Google User: Broken Will not run after update |
|
[2012-04-01] A Google User: Best News & RSS widget ever I've looked all over and ended up finding this app through a google search. I'm so happy I did. Now I can finally keep my homescreen up to date with news. Thanks |
|
[2012-04-01] A Google User: Still testing |
|
[2012-03-18] A Google User: Will not install.. ...nor run on Droid x2. Don't waste your time. |
|
[2012-02-29] A Google User: Great Love it! Works great. But I would like the option to hide readed stories, and to show only unreaded stories. |
|
[2012-02-27] A Google User: Change it back The old version used to have its bugs, but at least it didn't nag on every single use... |
|
[2012-02-25] A Google User: New update is amazing! The latest update truly brought this to a five star app without question. Love the new smoother navigation and holo theme. Only reader I use. |
|
[2012-02-18] A Google User: Confusing.. They REALLY want you to use this in conjunction with Google reader. I didn't want to and attempted to add a cnn feed that was unsuccessful. Uninstalling. |
|
[2012-02-08] A Google User: Finally! I've always just wanted white text on a transparent widget for my feeds and now I can have it! Thank you! |
|
[2012-01-26] A Google User: Fantastic Reader Best reader I've tried. Interfaces beautifully with my google reader, and is fantastic for those boring trips to the john. I am very happy with the program, and it's featured on my home screen. I can't say enough good things. |
|
[2012-01-18] A Google User: ICS Nexus S I'm sure its good. Can't open app b/c it doesn't show up in my list of installed programs. Still searching for good RSS feed reader for android... |
|
[2012-01-11] A Google User: Not for Landscape Mode If Google Reader can work in both portrait and landscape mode, why do the widgets for this app only work in portrait mode? |
|
[2012-01-10] A Google User: Cannot open. Bionic. No open option in market. Doesn't appear in my apps. Uninstalled. |
|
[2012-01-08] A Google User: FC's immediately unusable trash |
|
[2011-12-31] A Google User: Great Only suggestion is to support scrolling instead of arrows. |
|
[2011-12-29] A Google User: Does not work properly Buttons dont work. Swap noes not change pages |
|
[2011-12-25] A Google User: HTC Desire HD & Cyanogen 7 Bummer, I get no options to set this as widget so I can't use it. Yes, I know how to setup widgets. |
|
[2011-12-24] A Google User: Best minimalistic reader on the market! Excellent reader widget and would love to see a few changes :) a 3x1 widget (or the ability to resize on ICS), more text alignment options (like in Minimalistic Text), and the option to unbold all read items & an option within the popup to go back into settings. Will be donating! |
|
[2011-12-22] A Google User: Works Perfectly I would love for the transparent background to be adjustable. |
|
[2011-12-21] A Google User: Oustanding Outstanding app. Clean, customizable, simple. I've tried a few and this one is just right for my Ideos u8150. Thanks! |
|
[2011-11-28] A Google User: Simply marvellous! Looks good, and great customization options |
|
[2011-11-23] A Google User: Looks great and works great. Sgs2 |
|
[2011-11-21] A Google User: Widget doesnt update on galaxy s |
|
[2011-11-21] A Google User: Free version is useless all features are (pro only) |
|
[2011-11-21] A Google User: Tried to add the widget, just got a black screen and couldn't do anything for a minute. Uninstalling. |
|
[2011-11-12] A Google User: Brilliant. Just what I needed. To all those who liked anything similar to the HTC News Widget, this does all of that and much more. Elegant. Efficient. Customizable. |
|
[2011-11-12] A Google User: Well implemented Pretty neat |
|
[2011-11-08] A Google User: Doesn't seem to work right. It looks good but google news RSS feeds don't seem to update right. At least not without the google reader account attached. |
|
[2011-11-03] A Google User: Fantastic little reader I've tried several others, but this is the best available. Lots of options in the settings & the developer is great with updates. Highly recommended. |
|
[2011-10-29] A Google User: Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!!! I am a recent Android convert over from Windows Mobile and have been searching for an app like this ever since to replace my SPB news plugin. Finally found it. Works perfectly. Thanks dev for making this. Get this one. You won't be sorry. The popup article feature is awesome. |
|
[2011-10-23] A Google User: Getting better Keeps losing data connection, everytime I check my phone it is out. |
|
[2011-10-20] A Google User: Awesome! |
|
[2011-10-15] A Google User: Excellent RSS Widget! Fits my simplistic and clean homescreen perfectly! Love the pop-up reader as well. |
|
[2011-10-07] A Google User: Keeps telling me it couldn't sync with google reader. I'm not interested in Google reader, I only want to add a couple if feeds and be off :/ |
|
[2011-10-02] A Google User: No way to see how it works before buyingh |
|
[2011-10-02] A Google User: Superb on my phone Work excellent and efficient |
|
[2011-09-17] A Google User: Would be 5 stars... ...If an option to show thumbnails next to article titles was included in next update (like the HTC news widget) this would be perfect. |
|
[2011-09-16] A Google User: Needs to accept non .rss custom feeds |
|
[2011-09-14] A Google User: No good app. Doesn't refresh at all. No news at all in 4 days....yeah, ok. |
|
[2011-09-10] A Google User: You're not a pro. It shows. |
|
[2011-09-10] A Google User: Well, it worked super great. After that I noticed it did not auto-refresh, so I did manual. And then, it stopped working. Galaxy Tab Froyo. |
|
[2011-09-07] A Google User: Does not open Doesn't even open on nexus s 4g |
|
[2011-08-23] A Google User: Will not accept a feed unless the URL ends in .rss! |
|
[2011-08-16] A Google User: Great reader widget with many options Only wish the widget was a bit more readable. It needs bigger text. |
|
[2011-08-16] A Google User: Ive heard a lot of good things about this app but all it does is force close on me :( |
|
[2011-08-10] A Google User: This is a really smart app, best rss reader I've tried |
|
