So noted about the -1 thing! And thanks for the tips on the swipe gestures. 
So wait I'm confused about the two-finger gestures--I see that yes, I can in fact navigate between the articles with two fingers (yay!), but I'm not seeing how to shrink or zoom an article? Pinch gestures don't seem to work...?

Thank you very kindly!
Quick update: I closed and restarted the app and observed that syncing did then start working. I read an article in the app, waited a short time, and saw my login on Google Reader properly update itself. I also saw the issue go away of the spinnywheel chugging for many minutes without any apparent result.
_But_, I did also notice that the count of articles on the feed where I'd read the article, on the app, went down to -1. This happened on two different feeds. Is this possibly one of the things you all have fixed in the upcoming release?
Also, thanks very much for an app that both syncs with Google Reader AND does authenticated feeds. Your app's the only one I've been able to find that'll do that. I've got some issues with the UI (I really, REALLY want to be able to move between articles by swipe gestures), but I'm willing to deal with those for the sake of the functionality actually being what I need.

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!
