After a 3 weeks review, Apple has finally accepted the version 0.6 of RSS Runner.
I fixed several bugs including:
- When “auto feed refresh on startup” option was activated, the application was crashing at startup (since: 0.5)
- When some feeds were added, they were not displayed in the top of the custom-sorted feed list, which is now custom-sorted (since: 0.5)
I added the following function:
- The “blue” look and feel is back : now you can choose in the application Settings the blue theme or the black theme
I removed the following function:
- The sort criteria bar: you can manually sort you feeds using the “edit” button but the toolbar has been removed (in fact, I have a much, much, much better idea for a further release: stay tuned!)
I was getting ready to leave a comment that the sort criteria bar was missing in the newest version, but see that the app is functioning as designed
When might the “much, much, much better idea” be rolled out? I really liked the auto-sort by unread count.
Woah! You can’t remove sort if you’re going to leave feeds with no unread items showing, I have about 60 feeds and have to now scroll a lot to view items. Was removing the sort bar a much requested thing? If so can you create an option in settings to hide feeds with no new items? Thanks
The sort criteria bar was the key-function i decided to use rss-runner as my feed-app.
I have about 120 feed which do not update every day – so i have to spend a lot more time on looking for my updated feeds than before.
Runs as desigend is ok – but if you need too long for your “much, much, much better idea” the app is no longer my no1-rss-feeder
Why not keeping the sort-bar in use unless the new function is running???
sorry…..
I too miss the “sort by unread count” feature. That and the speed are the reasons I started using RSS Runner. Please bring back sorting soon!
(Sorting by count was a defining feature of RSS Runner. No other iPhone RSS App has it, that I could find.)
@All: Be confident, the sort by unread count should be back soon
hi
please allow hide the sort buttons.. if you will put these again.
two things i will love
1-mutiline “feed titles”
2-back forward Buttons on “web page”
.. example …

press web page to see comments
a comment has a useful link, id you follow the link you cant go back to read moré comments
many thanks great application
Hi, I can find the way to change the settings, the “i” button sends me to your web page, please help me
@Alberto: This is the iPhone common Settings screen, in the home screen of your iPhone (where you have all of your applications icons).
@Tito: Thank you for your ideas, I will think about them
I just downloaded RSS runner and I think it’s neat, but please add some push notifications so that the number of unread feeds is displayed as a badge. It would be great if you could do that. Thanks!
@All: I just submitted the version 0.7 to Apple: you’ll see that the feed sort bar is back. I have to delay my “much, much, much better idea” but this version will bring you several new features.
Nice app. Please add:
(1) Multi-line headlines. (It’s hard to understand truncated headlines.)
(2) Folders (Let us group our feeds.)
@popcornflix: I will think about them
Question: how do you mark an article as unread?
Suggestion: export or have a way to save feed listing
eh.. luv it ))
any updates coming ?
@Gordas Amateur : Yes, I submitted the version 0.8 to Apple one week ago. Stay tuned
Hi Francois,
thanks for the time spent on developing this reader.
Two suggestions:
1) as mentioned by @Ron, a way to export feeds would be really useful. I use RSS Runner as my main reader on my iPhone, but now want to start managing via Google Reader on my laptop. I don’t want to have to type in all my feeds again into Google Reader.
2) can you move the “Mark all as read” button somewhere less accessible? I recently tapped it accidentally, and now my 750 unread items all appear as read. Not great!
