iPad and iPhone Apps / Questions about syncing with Google Reader
« on: April 15, 2011, 05:16:01 PM »
Hi, I'm a new iPad owner and I bought feedHopper for the device, hoping to take advantage of how it syncs with Google Reader AND reads authenticated feeds, according to what I saw in the descriptions in the user guide.
However, I'm having trouble getting syncing to work. Can someone confirm for me whether two-way article syncing is supposed to work in the current version of the app? Also, is it supposed to sync on its own or does this work only if I tap the sync button?
I'm asking because if I tap the sync button, I do see unread articles come down from my Google Reader account. But the reverse does not seem to work--i.e., if I read an article on the iPad, Google Reader does not update to show that change, which pretty much defeats the whole purpose for me.
Also: if article syncing is supposed to automatically work, how long should the average sync take? The behavior I've seen this morning is that with seven unread articles showing in my web login of Google Reader, none of them come down on their own to the app. But if I just let it sit and idle, I see a spinning wheel on my iPad, indicating that the app is trying to do _something_. It's done this for at least half an hour though and I have seen no sign of any articles showing up.
Thanks in advance for any help!
