Version 1.1 has been approved and is available right now on the App Store. You can do the update using App Store on your iPhone / iPod Touch or in iTunes.
We hope you enjoy the new features!
UPDATE: We just published the steps to add a custom feed, see the quick tutorial here.
We are going to add a few new tips and tricks to help you get started with the new features. Check back soon!
Thanks for your support
We submitted version 1.1 of RSSPush to Apple last night. They need to review the changes, hopefully this time the approval process will take less than 1 month. Once the update is approved, existing users will get the upgrade for free.
Here are the changes that were made to RSSPush in version 1.1:
1. Custom feed support - submit your own feeds to be reviewed
2. Better 2 line wrapping of article titles on front page
3. Formatted display for HTML encoded characters in titles on front page
4. Better display of categories, subcategories and feed names to wrap on two lines if necessary
5. Tweaks to the overall performance.
6. Send article via email to yourself or to a friend
7. Select all feeds in a category
8. Deselect all feeds in a category
9. Display feed (source) name in main window and article view
10. “.” Keyword displays as [All articles for these feeds]
We have already started compiling our list of changes that will be implemented in 1.2. We will discuss that here in the next few weeks.
For those that have been waiting for an unbiased review of our application, one has just been published at TouchMyApps.
We have had many people asking if custom feeds were supported. It is not available in version 1.0 of the application as we wanted to make the application available as soon as possible. We are however currently working on version 1.1 of the app that will add many new features including the ability to submit new feeds to the service. This feature will let you define the feeds as public or private. The public feeds will need to be reviewed before being added to the service.
Updated to add: In the interim if you need a feed added to the service, please hit the contact us link at the top of the screen and send us the feed url. We will review the content and add it to our servers.
It’s been a stressing but fun ride. After 4 Months of development, plus a full month of waiting for Apple to review the application,we are pleased to announce that RSSPush is finally out and available worldwide on the App Store.
Here is the link to RSSPush [opens in iTunes] on the App Store. Get it while it’s hot!
We have also released a tutorial and a few tips and tricks available here:
Tutorial: How to use RSSPush
RSSPush Tips and Tricks: Getting all articles for a feed.
RSSPush Tips and Tricks: Listing all feeds in one view.
We submitted our application on June 25th to the Apple application review team and have not yet been put on the App Store. We got in contact with someone in the developer relations team and he has been helping our application move along the review process. Without his help, we would have been waiting many more weeks for this process to be completed. I won’t mention his name here but if he reads this, thanks for all the help.
Hopefully we will see our app posted soon to the App Store near you.
In the mean time, we have been adding new feeds to our service, we have over 500 new feeds being classified right now and more are on the way!
If you would like some new feeds added to the service for now you can post them in the comments of this thread. In release 1.1 of the application we will have a screen where you can submit your feed URL for review. Please keep in mind that no feeds with objectionable content will be accepted.
Update July 21: Just spoke to my contact and he says the approval process is almost completed, if I don’t see anything in the next few days that I should contact him again and he would escalate it again. The waiting game continues…
Update July 23: Well it’s been 2 days since the last update, there is still no news from Apple’s Review Team, I will be calling my contact later this morning (time zone difference). Hopefully he will be able to speed up the process. It has almost been a full month. In the mean time, we have prepared a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the application. We will only release it once the application is available on the App Store.
We have just finished updating our site to this new platform. We will be adding a lot of content in here in the next few days so stay tuned.
We are currently waiting for Apple Inc. (AAPL) to approve our application. Please visit our RSSPush Application page to get more details. We are in the final stages so hopefully we will be up on the App Store soon.
