Mike, I may have found a new bug. It seems that since the 3.0 update (or at least the latest version of Feeds) emailing stories doesn’t seem to work. Every time I try I get a “connection was interrupted) message after a VERY long time in which the entire app gets very sluggish.

Also, I wanted to add my voice to those remarking on swipe-to-star sensitivity. After all these months of using your excellent app I’m suddenly starring items accidentally all over the place.

Looking forward to seeing these bugs ironed out. Feeds is still the best RSS app by a mile. Keep up the great work!

@drumbo, thanks for the feedback. As with all feature suggestions we will put them on our list and the more requests that we get for them the higher up the list they move.

Couple of things I would love to see

1. a count of the unread items next to the feeds arrow (I like to know how many I have left to read – sad…. yes I know)
2. I would love to have the star button down at the bottom near the arrows. 95% of my button presses are the the up and down arrow and the star button.
3. I would love it if the read items only disappear from the list once I close the app. this means I can go back to the feed list, select a feed and see the items that I have read in this session (session being the time the app was open to the time it is closed)
4. Personal preference – having unread items have their title in bold and read in normal as opposed to the blue dot. I find I have to look twice to see if a feed is read – once at the title (cause this is what I am referencing) and then at the dot to see if it has been read or not.

@Dave, all settings are located in the Settings.app on your Springboard.

I love Feeds, but for whatever reason I no longer have a button for Settings. This means that I can’t change the Google Reader account, the
Read It Later account, etc. Is this a known issue? Please reply to my unpublished email in this post. Thanks.

@Mike – Thanks – iTunes shows the version is 3.6. There is no build number shown.

@Max, you can see the build number (not the version number from the App Store) by right clicking the application icon in iTunes and choose Get Info. The build number is usually just about the same as version number + 1.

How can I tell what version of Feeds I have?

Did something change wrt starred items being displayed? I have it set to show only unread items but starred items always used to appear regardless (this was good). Now my stared list is empty. I usually glance at an article that catches my eye and then star it if I want to read it in more depth. This causes it to appear as read. I guess I could sign up for a readitlater account, just curious if this change was intentional.

YEAAAAAA! The swipe is back!

This is one of the most used, most loved apps on my iPhone! Thanks, and keep up the great work!
