Very, very nice. MobileRSS is my most used app but it's very frustrating, it crashes the iphone at least 3 or 4 times a day!

I noticed a small bug. You seem to set the size of the article page before the page has a chance to download any pictures it may contain and as a result you can't scroll to read the article. If you use Engadget you will see this. Exiting and re-entering the article solves the problem as the image is then in cache.

Also, I have a few comments/suggestions, hope you don't mind.
While the animation in the Settings menu is nice, I feel it's overkill. It looks nice but takes away from the natural flow of your application. NetServices is another example of this. It's nice the first few times but then it gets annoying. Sometimes less is more!

Ordering of the feeds. This would be my top request. I like to keep my news/sport/tech/etc. articles bunched together. A nice way to implement this could be from selecting the Edit menu without selecting a feed. At the moment you show a dialog asking to select a feed. You could implement the sort here.

Unread feeds. At the moment you show the number of new feeds when a refresh is made. I think it would be better to show the number of unread feeds at all times because when you look at the main screen you don't know if you have any unread feeds or not.

Delete. Swipe to delete individual feeds. Options to delete all read feeds or all feeds.

Badge/Refresh. It would be nice if you could run it in the background and have an auto-refresh option where the user could select how often they would like it refreshed. You could then display the number of new feeds on a badge from summerboard.

Grouping. I had an RSS app on my windows mobile that allowed me to add feeds to groups. I had groups for All, news, sport, tech, etc. Could be something to think about.

Hope you don't mind all my comments. I think you have produced an amazing app and the UI is easily one of the best I've seen from any app!

Just wanted to say this app is very cool ...
I like the animations... I like eye candy...
I am already addicted to one rss reader , this one looks very promising.
Looking forwrd to new feature like deleteing, saving individual feed items.

Keep up the good work
Tim

Couple suggestions...

I really love this app too! Really like the animations!

Requests:

1) Adjustable font size for those with aging eys

2) Preset feeds, (e.g. "iPhone", "Mac", etc.)

Thank you!

smart rss

This is a great application. Just tried it and loaded all my feeds and everything works. Not sure why some people claim to have problems getting their feeds to work..... Thanks so much! I hated mobile RSS

Great RSS app. Good to see mature and complete apps being released.

Great App. A few bugs ...

The new items number shown in parentheses does not match the new items. For an rss feed from Gizmodo, it shows (22), but there are no new items. I run refresh and it now shows (30) with no new items.

I am getting multiple copies of items in a feed list. There is no way to delete the extras.

Suggestion: I would like to have an "unread" indicator per item and per feed. (I do not care if an item is "new" or "today", only whether I have read it yet.) An item should change to "read" immediately upon reading it.
The "unread" indicators should persist between starts of the app. I would also like a way to mark all items as "read".

Thanks again for the effort.

Thanks for the help, but i had already entered http instead of feed as the it is the only way to enter the feed in smart rss. It just refuses to show any feeds and the number stays at zero!! Thanks anyway

how about adding in some more RSS feeds from the initial install like mobilerss does? the apple one is great... however, if there were more options for people, it would really come in handy!
