Thanks for the feedback folks - It's been forwarded on to the developer.

First of all, I want to say great job to the Newsgator team. This enhances what is already a great product suite. You sync across every platform I use.

Some feedback:

1. I like the page wipe transition even if it is a little choppy
2. I'd like the option to get the full article instead of having to click more.
3. I know it can be accomplished with a page refresh but I think it would be nicer to have a refresh button in the UI for the feed list screen. Since there is no back on this page I think it would be fine in the upper left.
4. If a picture is more than, say, 75% of the width of the viewing window, don't show the article text next to it because you end up with a narrow column of text. This post is an example http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/2007/07/woz-doesnt-like-his-iphone-or-something.html

iPhone Reader: A couple requests

bbarol — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:16:25 GMT

The new iPhone reader seems like a real good start. A couple requests and an observation:

1) Is it possible, when reading in a river-of-news format (which is how I do all my reading), to get an "All Read" button at the bottom of the group of items? it's a minor annoyance to have to flick all the way back up to the top to mark all items read, but an annoyance nevertheless.

2) Is it possible, again in the river-of-news view, to slug each item with the originating feed? As is there's no way to tell which items come from which feeds, unless I'm missing something.

3) The slide-out effect when moving from folder level to feed level is kinda jerky for me, and I'm using my iPhone on a WiFi connection. Would a plain-vanilla page refresh work better?

Thanks.
