Apple just accepted the version 0.8 of RSS Runner.

I added the following features you asked me:

• Favorite items: now you can mark items as favorite in order to keep them as long as you wish. You have a new special item on the main screen that allows you to view all items that you marked as favorite.
• Now you can view the web page of a feed item in Safari (as well as in the embedded browser).
• “All unread items” menu item: now you have a special item on the main screen that allows you to directly view all unread items. You can show or hide it in the Settings screen (as well as configure the number of displayed items).
• 100 items per feed: now 100 items are kept for each feed (instead of 50).
• Some improvements on the user interface.

Let me remind you that you can find RSS Runner settings in the Settings application, which is in the home screen of your device.

As I told you in my last post, my applications disappeared from the App Store because of a management bug on Apple side. Now they are back, you should be able to download them again.

And Rss Runner 0.7 has been accepted ! It provides the following features:

• Feed sort bar: allows to sort your feed by title, unread count or custom position. You can disable it or choose your preferred option in the Settings screen.
• Feed item search: now you can search feed items by keyword. You can choose the max results count in the Settings screen.
• Mark all items as read: now you can mark all items of all feeds as read using a button on the Feeds screen.
• Disable landscape: now you can disable landscape mode in the Settings screen.
• Disable badge icon: now you can disable badge icon in the Settings screen.
• Settings screen clearer: the Settings screen has been reorganized to be more clear.

I really thank you for having supported me with your e-mails. I hope Rss Runner will be back soon in the Top 50 of the Category “News”, in which he was since its first release in December 2008 until this issue 6 days ago.

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 just released RSS Runner 0.5 !

This release provides many great things that you asked me:

• The user interface is now more clear and rich… And less blue, as you asked me!
• Rss Runner now supports auto-rotation: you can use it on Portrait or Landscape modes
• The “Feed” screen now provides you 3 sort options: by title, by unread item count, or by your own custom mode. This custom mode allows you to reorder feeds manually
• The application Settings screen provides you a way to define which feed sort option must be preselected
• The first screen, which was presenting the other Golden-Apps applications, has been removed because it was not very useful

Some bugs appeared in this version so I just submitted a new version (0.6) to Apple that fixes them: stay tuned!

I just released RSS Runner 0.3 !

I added the following new features:

• “Previous” and “Next” buttons on feed item detail screen
• Automatic deletion of feed items : 50 items max. per feed
• Feed item sharing by e-mail
• Application settings with the following parameters : Font size, Automatic feed refresh on startup (yes/no), Direct access to feeds on startup (yes/no)
• Application badge indicating count of not read feed items
• Application home screen to present other GoldenApps applications: do you know iCount ? (You can skip this screen thanks to application settings)

I also fixed the following bugs:

• Some crashes
• Marking feed items as read was during an increasing time
