[Owncloud] [News-iOS-App] App Store Reviews

[Peter Hedlund]

Hello,

iOCNews is ranking very highly among feed readers in the German App Store. I am continuously working on improving the app and would like your input on some reviews from the German App Store. As a developer it is currently impossible to know who submitted a review and thus to work out any issues.

More than one review mentions stability. Nevertheless no crash reports have been uploaded to Apple and for me the app never crashes (despite heavy daily use). Has anyone experienced reproducible crashes?

The reviews:

1. Not ready yet ★★

by Henning1984 - Version 2.0 - Dec 31, 2013

Crashes from time to time. The navigation is somewhat awkward and not standard ios like. What about async article load? I have to wait till every article is loaded to see them in the list.

My comments:  The navigation is a design choice and intended to eliminate the need to reach for buttons as much as possible. A lot of apps use a similar design (even built-in ones like Mail.app). Suggestions for improvements are welcome. All network activity and article loading is done asynchronously already. A possible bottleneck is database size with many feeds. I will try to work on that.

2. Nice OC Reader ★★★★

But please make feeds affable via app and a bit more stability. It's great with own cloud news app to host my own google reader replacement! 5 stars will be given if the mentioned things are added/fixed ;)

My comments: I don’t understand what “make feeds affable” means.

3. Very nice ★★★★

but please make it more stable.


Thanks,
Peter
