Feeds Version 1.22 Nearing Completion
January 24, 2009 — Mike (admin)We have been busy adding the most asked for features into the next version of Feeds while still trying to keep it simple and easy to use. The last update included a new method for syncing with Google Reader that greatly sped up the network connection and sync time. This speed increase introduced some other unexpected consequences. The worst of which was having Feeds freeze for up to a few seconds (usually just a fraction of a second for most people) when it added all of the downloaded RSS feed items to it’s internal database. We didn’t like the way things worked when downloading a lot of items so this week we rewrote the entire internal database system to make sure it never, ever slows down the user interface. Feeds is much smoother now. (more…)

Feeds Unavailable in Some App Stores
January 3, 2009 — Mike (admin)For some reason there is a bug in the App Store right now and Feeds does not come up when searching and if you can find it an error page comes up. This could be related to the fact that we just released version 0.99 and Apple may be updating the store right now. We have already sent a happy email for to Apple to let them know of the bug. In the meantime, it appears that most people are having success finding feeds in iTunes from their computers.
It looks like all I’d back to normal in the App Store now.
Please let us know if you have any issues finding it and we will post when Apple resolves their issues.
