Description

This is a client application for the project "Tiny Tiny RSS" (from http://tt-rss.org/), a PHP-based online feedreader which runs on your own webspace. If you want to host your own feedreader, want a cross-device-solution and don't want to use Google Reader (for whatever reason) this is the app you want! This reader offers automatic update on startup, filtering articles by status and efficient browsing through categories and the virtual categories "Fresh", "Starred" and "Published Articles" as well as Labels you can define by yourself. You can browse the articles offline when they have been synchronized before and the ImageCache can be used to pre-load all included images from the articles too.
_________ FEATURES: ☆ Swipe for faster browsing ☆ Optional navigation with volume-buttons ☆ View and download attached media files ☆ Cache articles and images locally ☆ Share URLs ☆ Easily mark things as read, starred or publish/comment them ☆ SSL with self-signed certificates ☆ Fast JSON-Parsing with stream-based parser GSON ☆ Scheduled updates via Tasker/Locale ☆ Layout optimized for tablets ☆ Dark and light themes available ☆ many more, Changelog and Feature-List can be found on the project-page...
__________ IMPORTANT: You need to enable the API for the user-account in the user-preferences.
____________ PERMISSIONS: • "modify/delete SD card contents": Download of attached media files, ImageCache. • "full Internet access": Connection to your Server. • "view network state": Check for mobile network/wifi. • "control vibrator": Vibrate when last article is reached. • "wake lock": Keep CPU running, necessary for the ImageCache.
____ FAQ: Q: Why can't I update this app ("Signature incorrect" error)? A: Remove the application and install it again. Sorry about that but it's the only way. And not my fault. Someone included this app in a custom android build on your device or you installed it from a third-party-source and it isn't signed with my key, so there is no way you can update it.
Q: When I switch to offline-mode, how do I know when the caching is done? A: There is no caching. The only difference to normal mode is that no connectivity is necessary and changes are stored locally. When switching to online again the spinning indicator should show while changes are uploaded. Caching occurs only when starting the app (everything except images) or the ImageCache is started (everything).
Q: Why don't articles appear as "read" when I did read them on my PC? A: Most of the time this is no problem at all. But. There is simply no way to get this information from the Server-API. I have to guess how many articles could have been read since the last update of the local data and would probably transmit much more data then necessary in the end. So it *can* happen. But mostly it doesn't.
Q: Quote from the comments: "SSL doesn't work anymore -> deinstall" A: Yeah, deinstall. Don't want people like you around. Thanks. My fault. I broke some functionality by trying to make the app more secure and I didn't have the resources to make sure this didn't happen. Mostly because THIS THING IS FREE. I fixed it btw, but people like you don't care. So yeah, deinstall please.
Please feel free to contact me via mail or on the project-page, I am happy to receive bug-reports, feature-requests, donations or (of course) also critique.

I like how I can label feeds and generate a new RSS feed for each label. Perfect for sharing interesting posts with friends.

If you use tiny rss If you use tiny rss, this app is for you. Perfect in any sense. It works perfectly if you follow instructions. Enable api in your ttrss installation and enter the url and login details. Can't be any easier.
★★★★★A Google User· Jan 18, 2014
Really good It almost makes up for Google Reader being killed. Of course, running your own server isn't for everyone. Unlike the "official" TT-RSS client, this one doesn't try to trick you into buying something that is GPL'ed. (Why can't the other one just have a donate option instead of a stupid trial with mandatory unlock key? What is this, 1996?)
