   Nice idea… I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. The fact that when I read it on my phone, it updated it on the google reader page (WOW). Now, I just hope you can fine tune the gui 🙂 If you need help in any ways, testing, idea, just let me know.

   Thanks, Eric

     Thanks. I actually got the UI setup today and it works WWWAAAAAAYYY better than the UI in 0.1. I will be rolling this version out in the next couple days.

   Nice program. still in noticable in alpha 😉
   new gui looks indeed way better 😀

   I hope you can make it happen to have a button like “next item” in the browser tab.

   also, it worked once for me and the next day it couldn’t load any new rss items…

   Does this work for Google Apps users? I have my personal domain hooked up with Google Apps and use a non-Gmail login for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, etc. I use the non-@gmail login for Reader as well.

   I noticed in the video it says to login without the ‘@gmail.com’ — this kinda makes me thing you have have an account ending with ‘@gmail.com’ to use this product?!

   • 10 emuneee on May 19, 2009 said:

     Theoretically you can use a Google Apps account. You would have to include the domain, ted.turner@companyx.com. Try it out, it should work. If not, I will investigate this.

       Hi,

       I have the same problem, no gmail account.

       when loging in with my account birdie@xxxxx.xxx I just get “Unable to login, try again”

       Any help would be great.

       Thanks! What happened was I am adding @gmail.com after every username which is causing this error. I will get the fix into v0.7 and release it tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback.

   Hi just found this, firstly i would agree with eric, open a XDA-Developers thread will help alot with testing/feedback

   I have one slight problem, all of the web pages dont finger scroll, it just selects the text for that region i move over. Is this normal? also i am running newer version of ie i think its IE6.

   Thanks for the great app, have been looking for one like this for well since i got my phone a year ago!

   • 14 emuneee on May 19, 2009 said:

     Hi, the lack of finger scrolling is a limitation of the webbrowser control from the .NET Framework. I am working on a workaround for that.

     Also the XDA Thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516168

   This is a great beginning! Two features, one major and one minor, that I would like to see.

   The minor one is that it would be nice to have a way to hide tags/feeds/etc. that have no new articles. No big deal, it would just be nice.

   The major issue is that currently there is no way to star items for later reading. This is a major issue, since many times there are things that need to be read or seen (notably videos) on a regular computer screen. This feature is a blocker for me, I’m afraid. Still, I love the concept here, and I’m installing AppToDate just to keep an eye out for future versions!

     The posted version should be the correct version. There is a typo in the about screen, it should be v0.6 Build 3427. Not v0.5. I’ll be adding the ability to star items to v0.7.

    That’s what I was looking for! But I have a question, as there’s no official Google Reader API, aren’t we breaking the EULA by using a third-party application to access our data using non-official API’s?

    emunee,
    this is a wonderful piece of software i was looking for for long days!!! thank you !!!

    i think what you should add is a quick read/unread toogle button or menu or keyboard shortcut. i mean on google reader desktop, you just have to scroll to toogle the read status. this is great when you have lot of feeds 😉
    i think the keyboard shorcut would be the perfect solution for that ( i have an HP iPaq 614c with standard telephone keyboard)
    thanks in advance 😉

    For some reason, I can’t log in. I know I’m using the right login and password, and it is a gmail account. I’m on a Samsung Epix.

    Could it be that it’s not letting me log in if I’m already logged into the account either on the same device (WM mail, Google Apps for Mobile), or on my PC (gmail/reader is pretty much always open on my laptop)?

24. 45 Tappet on July 23, 2009 said:

    Great work! With version .8x, Speeed Reader has become useful enough to become my default reader. Well done, indeed.

    A little bit of feedback for future versions:

    1. When I read an article, the “upstream” article counts don’t decrease. So for example, if I go to my “software” tag and read an article from one of the feeds, and then hit back, that feed still shows the article in its unread count. Minor detail, but I thought you’d like to know.

    2. Opening articles in the default browser causes a crash if the default browser is Skyfire, rather than PIE. Again, not a big deal for me (I haven’t yet run into memory problems).

    3. I do have one request: would it be possible to have a setting to make only those tags/subscriptions that have unread items visible? I have a fair number of tags, and it would make finding the ones that have been updated much easier. The subscriptions part is less of a big deal, of course, because I can just go to the tag reading list.

    Once again, great work! I’m a huge GReader addict, and this makes it that much easier to “feed the beast!”

    Would it be possible to retrofit your program for those of us still using WM2003 and .net 2.0? That would be great. I THINK it would work as-is if I had .net 3.5 but that’s a bit taxing on older pda’s. Thanks!

    Hi, I really like Speed Reader. However, the one thing that kind of make it cumbersome for me, is that when viewing items it would make sense to be able to go to the prev/next article by scrolling left/right. The way it works now, I go from my reading list to click on the item, then have to use the back button to go back to the reading list and select another.

    Hi There.

    Thanks for the hard work on your software! I have a verizon HTC ozone. It loads perfectly fine, however when I try to read a individual post, it won’t let me scroll down via the Dpad. The only thing that works on the dpad is the right button which is mapped as the back button. Is there anyway to remap some keys on my end or is that something you have to do

    Thanks again for you hard work and your software

32. 56 Razma on August 24, 2009 said:

    Thanks a lot for Speed Reader!

    Here is a quick feedback when using Speed Reader 0.8.3 on my X1.

    Bug:
    Sometimes, by presing the left arrow key, it goes back two times instead of one. This happens ~1/3rd of the time, both when exiting the reader pane or a sublist pane.

    Bug:
    Menu option “mark as Read” is available even if item is already marked as read. Maybe a swith to “mark as unread”?

    That would be so nice to have 1:
    By default, when entering a list, highlight the first item. Currently, I have to press the down keyboard.

    That would be so nice to have 2:
    I’d rather have the very first page to be a list of the different views (“Broadcast”, “Reading List”, “Starred”, “Tags”). This way, navigation would be consistent throughout all the application (instead to have a mixed menu interface then panel interface).

    Difficult to say it’s a bug but that would be so nice to have 3:
    When going back to a parent list from a sublist/item, the parent item should be highlighted and visible. Currently the parent list is “reset”: no item highlighted, showing top elements of page 1 of the list (even if going back from page 2…)

    UI Choice:
    having “back button” on the right is counterintuitive, since, the screen scrolls left when pressing it and it has the same behavior as pressing the left key. I would rather have the “Menu” and “Back” soft buttons switch places.

    UI Choice:
    Would it be possible to have item actions (mark as read, star…) available as a “long press” on an item?

    Sorry for this long list… which does not reflect the very fact that apart from those wishes, it works well, is fast and looks very nice!

    Cheers!

    Hey.. just tried this program and I am digging it.
    Just one point for the wish-list… saving the feeds to the phone or sd card so I can read while offline. With my primary rss reader mDigger, I can start the app and have access to articles without needing to connect.
    If this functionality can be added, that would be awesome.

35. 62 sakula on September 6, 2009 said:

    THis is great software, and while I can’t complain about the price, the only thing that keeps me from perhaps making a donation is it not working 100%. There are several feeds that work fine in google reader, and show up in speeed reader as x unread articles etc, but when I try to read the articles, it always says, 0 articles to load. Here is a feed that doesn’t load – http://rss.canada.com/get/?F233 ..

    Also, I personally would like to use opera (on my touch pro) to read the article, but use the ie (or whatever) to preview the article. When you click on a feed story, it goes to a preview, then you can ‘read the whole article’.. The first read (the preview) should be with the internal browser you use, then reading the actual article should use the external browser. Know what I mean. Right now if i choose use external browser, then the ‘preview’ is opened up in the external browser. And is there a way to not download the tags if there is no articles in them?

    Other than that great…. I was about to buy sbsh go news, but this is much better functional wise.

    Sad to say, I have some bad news. I was using Speeed reader quite happily until I upgraded my phone to a WinMo 6.5 model yesterday. On 6.5, the articles cannot be read; they load, but you cannot scroll in any direction once they do. There are no scroll bars, and finger-scrolling doesn’t work. Sorry if this delays the .9 release, but I thought you’d want to know.

    BTW, on the up side, the app looks great in WVGA resolution!

    Thanks for developing this wonderful soft ,I am from China ,and I love this soft very much . Just a few questions :

    1) When I use this software ,the Chinese font looks very strange and nearly unable to read , Can it be selected to use PPC default font so it can support Chinese ?

    2)Maybe Speeed Reader can add one option which allows downloading all unread issue and then view it offline (rightnow if i close this software ,i have to access to internet to download the unread issue again when i start it up) . Downloading all unread issue and read it offline means a lot ,it will save more internet traffic and battery(especially this option works when i go on trip).

    3) As we all know , lots of websites are blocked by Chinese Goverment (your blog also are blocked ,i am now using proxy ip to visit your blog). One of my reason to use Google Reader is that it can break Goverment Internet Block and download the rss article which is not allowed to see in China. However, when i use speeed reader,it unable to download these Rss’s issues. What can i do to view these RSS in speeed Reader?

    Looks forward to your reply (By mail if possible)
    Thanks again

    Great program! I just installed it after trying other readers that sync with Google, and this one works the best so far. Functionally it’s perfect, but in your “copious free time” I might make it a bit prettier or allow color customization. The red highlight bar is kinda harsh. Overall, though, definitely a great job!

    So I just wish you could improve your reader until it is perfect.

    Like you said the option to delete all items at once and is scheduled. But I still missing something, I explain:

    If I download a seed with 100 articles but only gives me time to read 50, you could do to delete all items from a single page or transition (configurable from options in page size) and leave me to read the others later?
