Version 1.5 of River of News is just about ready to be submitted to the App Store. I wanted to give you a teaser shot of the gorgeous new retina graphics.
You can also see the much nicer feed icons. With this version you'll get icons for more of your feeds and they'll be higher resolution and support transparency.
Nice to see an update. One question, did you adress the frequent crashing (out of memory) on first gen ipads? That would be a welcome fix. My RiverofNews crashes about 5-6 times when going through about 250 articles total. Very annoying to say the least... Alex.
Any chance of getting a "Mark as read" button or gesture? When "Mark items as read while scrolling" is OFF, there is no real good way of actually marking an item as read. Also the fix for frequent crashing on first gen ipads would be appreciated.
Funny - that certainly looks like an iPhone screenshot...
ReplyDeleteWow, nice to hear. I love RON, it's my most used app by far. I was afraid that you had stoped developing it, so this is great news. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSame here! Excited to hear you are still working on the app! Can't wait for the update
ReplyDeleteYeah, really good news, it'm my favorite ad app

Thanks, Dylan! River of News is the greatest feed reader ever and I really appreciate the updates!
ReplyDeleteAgreed about RON being most used app. I upgraded iPad 1 to iPad 3 because of low memory problems for RON on iPad 1.

1.5 Sure feels slower opening the drop downs ans feeds window. They would open instantly in the old version now there is a noticeable delay.
ReplyDeleteI love River of News! Thanks for your hard work on it!
ReplyDeleteLove the new icon, big improvement.
