Want to beta test River of News?

I'm just about ready to start testing the iOS 5 updates. Please sign up with Test Flight at the link below.

[edit: beta slots have been filled]

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback.

iOS 5 updates coming soon

I'm sorry for problems that River of News is having in iOS 5. One work-around that you can use for now is to change the font settings to Small and Modern. This will fix the problem of the article titles being small and the articles not formatted properly.

I had a version ready for the iOS release that fixed the problems and worked very well on my iPad 2. Then I tested on a first generation iPad with the final version of iOS. I was surprised that it wasn't stable on the iPad 1. This is the first time I've experienced a notable difference between the iPad 1 and 2 with River of News.

After some frantic work and a number of late nights I've isolated the problem and am progressing towards a solution. Apple made significant changes that are only evident on the iPad 1.

These changes are painful but, ultimately, they make things better and I'm expecting River of News to be faster and more responsive when this is completed. I'm really sorry that I let you down and didn't have a fully working version in the App Store for the release of iOS 5.
