Bugfix: The Watch App will now correctly remove old articles when needed
1.5.2
2019-07-20
- In the settings for a particular feed it's now possible to configure if the full text should be loaded from the website. By default this should be enabled, because most feeds do not include the full text itself. Only a few RSS feeds do provide the full text themselves, and for these feeds loading the full text separately can be omitted.
- The smart playlists can be also sorted strictly by daten and time, instead of grouping them by date and feed. The "sort" button will toggle between these two modes.
- There's a new option in the settings to keep Cookies. Cookies are small data snippets which a web site stores in a browser to save its state (for example the login state). Normally this option can be off, so the App does not save anything. But in case you're subscribing to a feed whose web site requires cookies to keep its status and otherwise would not provide any content, you may enable this option.
1.5.1
2019-06-10
- The App could crash, if a web site "embedded" images without providing URLs for the images.
1.5
2019-06-08
This version introduces an App for the Apple Watch. The Watch App lets you read articles directly on your watch. Of course the Watch App also supports speech output, so you can comfortably listen to all the RSS feeds and do not need to look at the screen. The Watch App runs on all Apple Watch models with watchOS 5 and later.
The iPhone and the Watch App share certain feeds, which ones must be configured within the iPhone App (switch on the "Watch support" in the settings within the iPhone App. In the settings you'll also find Help for the Watch App).
The Watch App works offline, so the watch does not need an internet connection. The Watch App also works if you do not have your iPhone with you.
To start speech output on the watch, simply force-press the screen and pick the "read article" menu item from the menu. You can customise the voice (speech rate, pitch, voice) by selecting the "settings" item.
