RE: Ability to pre-fetch all feeds and then read them offline

This feature is exactly what I'm looking for, to be able to read all my feeds on the subway in the morning. This would be awesome. I see it's been a year since this was posted. I've just come across this app for the first time, and am loving it. Previously I've been using the built in RSS reader on my SE w890 and/or Opera Mini, but this app is just great.

Thanks for the reply.

The x number of feeds to pre-fetch would perfectly solve my problem. 2-3 hours of reading time would be more then enough in the offline mode!

At the present time we do not have a pre-fetch feature. We have discussed this in our development meetings, and are mulling over the pros and cons of it.

It may not be feasible to have a global pre-fetch, as memory would be quickly used up, depending on the number of feeds one is subscribed to and the available memory in the device. One possible answer to this problem is to allow the user to specify x number of feeds for pre-fetch. The goal would be to provide 2 - 3 hours of reading time for the user.

Hello,

I really like the Go client on my Nokia N95. But I am missing one feature that I would really like to use.

When I am at the location where a fast WiFi network is available, it would be great if I could launch Newsgator Go on my mobile and tell it to fetch all the latest content for all feeds. Then, when I will have time and no WiFi around I could just read all the pre-fetched content without a need to connect to the internet at all.

I can see that there is a Flight Mode already available, but it doesn't seem to solve my problem (please correct me if I am wrong), since the client only tries to download the feed (or not) when I click on it, I can't find a way to tell it to download everything at once.

Thanks.
