Where is this APP? I dont see it in the Marketplace.
@Mike: Should be in the market by Thanksgiving!
Great Can’t wait! Please post here once it’s available.
OK everyone, it’s live and in the market. See above for download links. It may take a little while to propagate across the market everywhere.
Seems to take NoDo switching poorly, crashing out. Every time I lock the screen or switch to another program, then unlock/hit ‘back’ to return/relaunch, it gives:
error

blah blah so on and so form. I’m using the trial for now, and whatever version’s latest in the Marketplace.
@Ulnah: Interesting. I will take a look for issuing a fix. Thanks for pointing it out.
How about a page-flipping feature so you can speed-read the article w/o having to waste time manually scrolling? The Kindle WP7 app does this just right. I can’t find an RSS reader that does this and would happily pay it. It would be unique (please kill my side project of writing my own – there’s better side projects to work on
@Dave: You can use the “next page” button to scroll to the next page of the current article. Are you talking about jumping to the Next article? If so, hit “N” on the keyboard after the current article finishes loading.
Similar issue to @Ulnah, except
at GoogleRssReader.ItemDetailsWeb.OnNavigatedTo
(NavigationEventArgs e)
I just downloaded the app today.
