Doppler for iPhone and iPod Touch

Doppler for iPhone and iPod Touch allows you to easily synchronize your google reader subscriptions to your device. Using Doppler you can read your subscribed RSS feeds on the go without needing to have an online connection using Safari. Just enter your google account and your google password, select the feeds you want to have downloaded and select the refresh button. Doppler does the rest for you.

    • Implements a toolbar button for keeping a post as unread. The icon changes according to the state of the post.

The more traditional UI is beneficial for users with many posts to read as it speeds up the interface. The traditional interface is the standard interface from now.

Frequently asked questions:

  • Can I subscribe to a feed from my device?
    The only place to subscribe and unsubcribe to feeds is in Google Reader 
  • I have a lot of posts to read, the ‘river of news’ presentation is not really working for me
    Since version 1.2 we will be provided a more ‘conventional’ interface besides the river of news interface where you first see a list of subscribed feeds, you then tap a feed and then you see the posts in that feed.
  • I installed Doppler but it does not allow me to select feeds after I enter my username and password?
    Due to a bug in Doppler 1.0 you might want to check if you have non-alpha characters in your password. If so, please change your password to only use alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters. This is fixed in version 1.1 
  • I want to share a post, but it tells me an error occurred and that I should try again in a while.
    We found an issue in Doppler 1.0 which causes this for certain posts. Doppler 1.1 fixes this.
  • I have an issue which is not listed in this FAQ
    Please contact me at info [at] dopplerradio [dot] net and I will get back to you as soon as possible to try to solve your issues.
