Great app.

I would love it even more if you made it possible for us to read the full articles through Google’s mobile-system which automatically converts (or “transcodes”) the pages to a mobile-ready format. There is one other rss-app in the AppStore which is capable of doing this, but your app is so much better.

Best regards,

André B.

@Joe, I am most certainly a fool. As you have found, the particular keyboard used for text entry doesn’t have a comma or semicolon, the two characters that allow you to send to more than one address. I will either change the character to separate the email addresses or use a different keyboard on the next update.

Mike, I feel like I must be missing something — you say to separate email addresses with commas, but the keypad given when entering them doesn’t appear to have the comma anywhere! Is it hidden somewhere I just haven’t found yet?

@John, we have a bit more optimization to do including the feed details page. We are reorganizing the pile of buttons that made it’s way onto that page into a more usable and aesthetically pleasing configuration that will allow us to add some more features. The most popular requests so far are adding notes and posting to Twitter.

Once we get the details page wrapped up we have to do some MAJOR under the hood changes to deal with friends shared items, recommended feeds and other aggregate feeds that Google Reader offers. The feeds aren’t actual RSS feeds so they require a series of huge changes to the backend system.

Now that we have oldest-to-newest, the two features I’d still like to see in Feeds are:

Items friends have shared with me.

Number count of starred items (like I would for any other feed).

What else do you have planned?

@Scott, no worries at all. Glad I could help.

Thanks Mike- Indeed I had not been using that address. I had been using the address that my gmail forwards to (and also gets me into G Reader). Sorry for the time waster.

Regards,
Scott

@Scott, do you have your full gmail address in the Settings? For example, if your gmail username is scott, do you have scott@gmail.com set as your google login?

@Maiquel, Feeds does not save the entire page for offline reading, it only saves the feed descriptions for reading offline. InstaPaper works quite good at caching offline webpages so you can certainly use it for offline reading.

Hi Mike-
1.32 is running even quicker than 1.31, but every time I try to send an email from Feeds I get an error saying that login/password is invalid. I made sure that my Google pswd was the same as my mail pswd, as well as mail address. Is there something I’m missing? Thanks!

Regards,
Scott
