FootballMonitor 0.39
The Bad news:
I have discontinued this piece of software, after moving away from Windows Mobile.
The Good news:
The sourcecode is attached below. It is C#.NET.
I believe the fix for the current version is very simple
I have created a Football (Soccer) Monitoring Service which alerts you when a team is playing and on score updates.
Configurable for teams, and frequency of update. Works with lots of major leagues round the world.
Still early days, but I hope other people will find this useful.
Obviously it requires an internet connection to get it's data, so my advice is not to use if you don't want to get charged!

Hi, Added some, I will add more when I've captured them.
Been trying out this app for a few days and it is working very nicely. Very prompt updates for live games.
My only criticisms would be :
Interface looks dated (but appreciate that the app is at an early stage of development). Maybe use the Manila SDK to improve visuals?
Performance of phones suffers slightly when serivce is running. Not unbareable but scrolling in HTC Sense is slightly jerky.
Would be good to be able to choose specific Leagues/Competitions rather than just teams.
Populating the list of teams you wish to follow can take a bit of time scrolling through the list of available teams.
An error message appears when clicking on the '>' button on the results page (will post up the full message when I get home this evening)
PS. I'm running the app on an HTC HD2.

Thanks for your information, have you tried version 0.2, the error message should be fixed?
I will look at the leagues/competitions idea.
I haven't seen the Manila SDK, I will look into it. My priority was getting it working first, then looking nice later. I was thinking of looking at this very soon.

Yeah mate, just upgraded to v0.2 and the error message thing is solved. Cheers.
Thats cool about the interface - I figured you were going for functionality over form at the moment since it is early in development.
I've got a few ideas for the interface that would basically utilise drop-down menus for selecting Competitions/Teams. I'll quickly draft something up in Photoshop at the weekend if your interested?

I'm a football fan and i just love to see software released to help us keep track of our favorite teams!
To every one that loves football i also recomend "Team Stats".
Cheers!
I have had this a few days! Great app.
But I select lower league teams, Swindon and I didnt get any updates of the score, although I was glad as they lost.
I have Liverpool and Everton and they both worked.
So not sure why the lower leagues arent working.

Sorry about that Keith, tell you what, next time they play can you change the log-level to 2 and, if you have the same problem, can you send me the log file from inside the directory?
I presume you're talking about Tuesdays match?

Cheers, I will set it to two and post if pm you if it doesnt work. Still a great app though! Yeah it was the Tuesday.
This is great application. Just it's made for UK time zone.
I'm living in central Europe, and all times are shift by 1 hour.
Because of this, live notifications doesn't work.
When app. is waking up at shifted time, it's give me a message "No match today" (or something like that).
Could you please make it "Timezone independent"? Just read the zone from system and shift all match times.
Thanx
Anyway, good work.
One to keep an eye on.
Which Leageus are covered?

Strange, I thought I made it so it already did this, it takes the time, and converts to local time. Can you check in the log file, there will probably be a line saying something like "SLEEP", then a time. Can you check whether the time for a local match you know starts at a certain time, is incorrect?
Anyone else seeing this problem?

Austria: T-Mobile Bundesliga
Austria: ADEG Erste Liga
Austria: Regionalliga East

Ireland: Eircom Premier
Ireland: Eircom 1. Division
Israel: Leumit League
Italy: Serie A
Italy: Serie B

So fairly comprehensive! Tomorrow's list will be huge!
A few questions:
Can the score update be disabled? Due to being 8-9 timezones away, when the games are playing I'm working. I set my DVR to record and watch when I get home.
Can the app notify of upcoming matches up to 2-3 days in advance?
And the above mentioned time zone dependent... It would be great!!!
Thanks!

It looks promising. I have got the message about them playing today! well Saturday, which I suppose is today.....
I did add a couple more teams, I then turned my phone off then on and got another messages saying all the teams selected are playing today, so maybe it needs a restart to make it work?

1) The score update can be disabled, which would only give you the result when the match has finished. Otherwise, what would be the point in actually running the app, to know when the next match is?
2) Currently, no it cannot notify of matches that far in advance. The information it gets to build this data does not have more than 1 day.
3) Yeah, the time zone thing should be fixed now in version 0.21

Ah, yes, the service needs a restart after you've added more teams, I have made a note to prompt on add.
Great app! wish it worked on my Touch Pro, but when I click on configure -> choose teams, program hangs and pocketpc becomes very slow... any ideas?
no Scottish Premier League? Go Celtic!

Hi everybody,
i just installed SPB pocket Plus 2.2 software on my MDA2... after installing a previous version (i guess but i don't remember which one).. i realised that on the today screen i cannot choose anymore to view the "Storage Card" icon... anybody can help about this?
nobody has the same problem?

Use SRS to see the entire today, SPB+ sometimes cuts some part of todya
I am using sbp Pocket Plus 2.0 and did not face such a problem, I am not aware about version 2.2!
Hi dNuOs,
I've got exactly the same problem - I've emails Spb about it, but no answer yet.
Also missing Storage Card

Only see main memory, So nothing about my Storage Card
Ah ha! So yes there are other people with this problem. I too had it and here's how I fixed it.
Firstly, enable the backup battery icon, move it too position 1, i.e. the first icon on the today screen.
Then use a registry editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
Spb Software House
Pocket Plus
Today Items
Pannels
00000
Modify the 'Action' string and change *backupbattery to *storagecard
Then tap&hold on the tab where you want the icon to appear, choose add/remove items and you will see Storage Card 1 Indicator, it can be enabled and will then show on the today screen. No problem.
I found that you can use this method to add multiple instances of the same indicators if you want.
NOTE that if you did not move the backupbattery icon to postion 1, then you will have to edit the string value at the appropriate position, it will be one the values 00000-00004

Thank you

Mate, you're just great!!! It works perfect, thanks for your support.
Just one question... how you managed to do this? I mean, how did you know the correct name was "*storagecard", just checked on a previous version of the software i guess...
thanks again
Heh heh, glad it's working for you guys.
I knew that the name would be storagecard, just from the formatting of the other names, I took a gamble I guess but I had a good idea it was correct. :lol:

This is not an error, it is a precise will of SPB.
When I wrote to them because of a problem of my version 2.1, they told me that on some machines this option created hard resets :shock: , so they decided to move it out in some following release. And here we are.
Well I've not had any hard resets, and I wanted the feature, mostly for appearance sake, as three small icons did not fill the width of the screen but four do!
I can image senarios that might cause problems with this icon, but it's down to programming, if SPB refresh the states too frequently, it will cause a performance overhead, and with any additional cards it causes i/o to check capacity.
There's no setting to adjust the refresh interval, but as I said I've not had any problems, and I did not see any release notes that talked about the removal of a feature!
Cheers

I agree with you, but this is what PocketPlus product manager told me
Of course they are not willing to advertise a loss of functionality, at least until they find another solution...

I install spb pocket plus 2.2 on iPAQ H6365, I realized a few problems been encountered. I sent a text message to someone, but he could receive the same message for up to 5 times intermittently, I won't realized that till the party mention it.
I'm not sure if you'd also know the remedy for this sickness
The fix to this has been posted several times on other threads, but all you have to do is add an exclusion to the "close button" enhancement for tmail.exe.
tmail.exe is closing before it's getting chance to send the whole text properly and is sending it more than once.
You should also be careful with enabling the SD card monitoring feature - it appears to be this that is causing the xda2 to lock up/die with no option to fix but to hard reset/remove battery (not spb's fault, it happens with other today plugins too). Apparently it's the hardware - this is why spb removed the functionality.
You may think it's running ok, but please don't be using your xda for anything life critical (e.g. mapping out someone's brain operation). Mine was fine for two months before it started displaying this behaviour!
rgds,
Alex.
That little fix for restoring the SD card monitor was mine, and when I looked SPB are now claiming that it may cause lockups on ROM Version 1.60
I'm on 1.72 and with this fix and SPB 2.2 I've no problems. Something about this issue could be done by SPB, one solution would be to include a refresh timer, aka Battery Pack. The issue with lockups can occur when the request for capacity is sent to the expansion card. This could happen when there is i/o on the card and thereby cause a possible problem.
All that said, I've *never* (yet!) had a problem with SPB 2.2
Thanks

NinjaDonkey, thanks for the guide on this, I just did the "Exception" on tmail.exe, with spb pocket plus 2.2. But do not know yet if problem would persist, guess wouldn't be.
Do you know whether it's using lots of memory in the today plug-ins as we customize to display many programs on the today screen? You know those with Main, Connection, System, etc... Especially in the system, it's by default been customized to display quite a few of programs/system programs, would this be a factor to slow down or cause a hang on the ppc? If your answer yes, then i guess i am going to remove those of un-needed ones.
I'm developing an app to allow users to query HUKD from their mobile (over using the mobile website as a quicker and should be less bandwidth intensive & skin to windows mobile also)

Cool thanks
I need to sort out how I am going to show the results (the request/receive should be done tonight) then it's into beta and I'll try to figure out how to make a cab then get it sent out
Flibb from hexus here, count me in
A quick update
The search page is done (I'm going to add a search field after the first release, want to get a working product out first) and I am sorting out the data at processing it currently (when you click on an item it loads a new page with more info on it then you can open in a mobile bowser or go back to the results)
I'm ALMOST there guys, I have got to sort out the xml still and embed a browser in a new window to show more details on a deal... or I will sort out my own way around it
And another teaser screenshot, I have added support for tags (The search function works great right now, does all the filtering correctly.... BUT I am dealing with the returned XML currently)
Unfortunately you can only use 2 words as anything non alphanumeric is converted to '-' or the API wont recognise it but i'm working around it so you can use as many tags as you want (Just fixed this actually)
So I have the returned data to sort then it should be go I am going to add a 3rd screen where you can get more details on an individual deal (and load in an image of the product)
That is on a 240x400 screen so an Omnia should be fine
If anyone has dealt with DataSets and how to organise it in a ListView please let me know, I'm trying to deal with it right now and it's a PITA as I haven't used it before
If you need webspace; PM me

Just finished off v1.0.1, more some incremental changes than anything else. Thanks for the comments from some of the people that have used it
v1.0.1
Changes:
- Fixed installer (app shows up in programs menu as HotUKDeals (with the icon )
- Warning if you get no results instead of loading a blank page
- Slight redesign of results menu (the description at the bottom only shows when you have selected a deal
http://rapidshare.com/files/274779810/HotUKDealsInstallerv1.0.1.CAB

Apologies for not keeping this more up to date, some good and bad news...
Good:
I just got back from holiday
I have plenty of ideas for things to try out for improving the application
I won the category I entered for the contest it was for
http://www.hotukdeals.com/rest-api/contest
Bad:
Obviously being on hliday means no development work done since last update.
Resuming studies in the next few weeks for my degree so it will be much more of a side project as I work on my dissertation
I have had very little feedback on it To be honest I want as much critical feedback as possible.
I'll be working on my own web hosting to avoid reliance on Rapidshare also (I want figures for dowloads of each version etc and having this project on multiple forums means keeping track can be very difficult!)
Thanks for this handy little app works great for me running 6.1 21054
htc prophet
Works on HTC Touch HD, wvga, standard WWE 6.1 ROM
Really like this app, was looking for a PS3, think I may have found one for a good price
Bump to the update, I am going to have some time, I plan to add
- Option to go direct to the website via the link in the page (I have figured out what it is)
But I'd like to know if anything needs to be fixed, if there are any negative points please tell me as I will have some time next month to fix them (got sick leave for a number of weeks due to an upcoming operation)
Been trying to download from rapidshare, but will not let me do so unless I join up, as "no more free slots available"!
Any alternatives?

Worked fine for me on 1.0.1 and the .netCF cabs if you try it again as a free user
Now working, it appears rapidshare blocks free users when it is busy.
Thankyou.
WinMo 6.5 on HTC Touch HD.
App works great, nice and fast, love it.
Cosmetic suggestions:
On the 1st page, maybe make the menu options more finger friendly?
On the results page, maybe split the backgound a bit, like with lined results, which highlight when selected.
Also when selected maybe add a lond decription and the small image?
Badly formatted rough mock up:
...and make the whole bottom part a URL link to the deal itself, like the "Go To Deal" button.
I'm on HotUkDeals EVERY DAY. I love a bargain me.
That looks like a decent suggestion, I have a lot on (doing some demo work on the 360 ATM as well as some big side projects) so I'll try and make the changes that I can seeing as it should be a fairly minor thing to do
I'll try the first page suggestions, will need to see what I can do from the button side of things

Hey DotNetCoder,
It seems to be one v useful app as I fly a lot. I will def give it a try. Any chance to get Luton and London City on the supported airports list?
Nice, thanks DotNetCoder....
....What are your plans for epanding the app to include other UK or indeed worldwide airports? I mainly fly to Cork, my point here is that the app is only useful on one leg of my journey.
Thanks what a useful little app All working fine @ time of testing hoping not to find any bugs
what about the second busiest airport in the UK? Manchester......
US Flights and HD2
Just installed it and tried it briefly, lovely app.
I couldn't seem to find any US flights on it (or is it just me being blind)
Also, I've installed it on the HD2, but can't get the application back after awakening the phone. I have to end task in task manager and re-start it.
Any clues?
really nice app indeed. It would be perfect if it can include some other airport too. Thanks anyway
Great wee app, especially as i have some flying to do in the next little while. Two thoughts, can you give it a pretty icon, i just get the standard white exe icon.
Also another request for additional airports, the two Belfast ones would be really useful for me.
Thanks for the feedback guys and gals.
I originally only intended this for UK BAA airports, as they use the same code.. but after looking at some of the other suggested airports - they shouldn't be too hard to add.
There's lots of places, so I will focus on UK and Ireland international airports, then move onto the US, and then back to Europe.
This project could be quite lengthy - if any other VB.NET coders are reading this and want to help me write HTML parsers that would be v cool. Get in touch via PM if you can (of does anyone know of RSS feeds for this data?).
Before I release any more airports, I'll fix the update code - at the moment it locks out the GUI when refreshing, this will move into the background.
A globe icon has been added, so no nasty white spaces in the next version!

great!! Nice to hear that..looking forward for the next release
Also a provision to select a default airport would be helpful.
Now when I start the app - it always goes to Stansted first and then I have to select Heathrow from the menu.
Overall a really great app! Very helpfull I must say...a must have if you travel
And also if possible a search/filter option - by airline, by flightnumber and by arrival location!

I sorted the problem by installing Duttys Task Manager....Works great now.
I can't see any flights to and from the US, only europe. Are US flights on a different Database?
New update out - your features have been noted, not done much work this week
cool app, found on the open market place, tho only version 1.0, will update to 1.1 later
gatwick and stansted all good,
another vote for london city tho
WOW - great app... adding more airports ?
Is it possible to add London Luton and City airport ?
Also, if possible to add the Terminal information taht would be FANTASTIC !!
Keep on the good work ..
Ravel
Development is temporarily on hold.
I'll be back soon though.
gr8 application congrats m8!!!!!!
could u add John Lennon Airport Liverpool?
thanx a lot again and...walk on...
That'll be on the list. Cheers
Lots of work done on this, but not usable.
I coded in support for FlightStats.com, but it has a bizarre forced redirect to their mobile site, which doesn't have the info I'm looking for.
Background downloading is also in-place (no longer locks up the app during a download) - and you can cancel the download or quit.
Next airports I'm adding support for are Aena (Spanish), as I'm going on holiday there soon
Hello everyone,
We have released a free new Windows Mobile application called Who's Near Me. In a nutshell, this application uses GPS (or cell tower info if no GPS) to determine your location and then displays other users that are nearby you - along with their photo, age, gender, and bio. You can then start an anonymous message conversation with anyone on the list. It uses your data connection only so you are never charged for any text messages.
The application is still considered beta but has already been in closed testing for a few weeks. Most major issues should be resolved at this point. We plan to add it to the Microsoft Marketplace for Mobile as a free application in the next few weeks - at which point we expect the number of active users to increase substantially. A Windows Phone version (with additional functionality) will also be available at the launch of the WP7 platform.
The application is free (100% free, no advertisements even), small, and pretty cool. You can download the latest version of the application from our website as a cab file directly to your phone at http://www.synergetechsolutions.com/whos-near-me.aspx. The download link is pretty clearly located to the right of the page title. I have also uploaded the current release's cab file to this post. This current release is focused for touch devices and no testing has been done with non-touch phones. Windows Mobile 5.x and 6.x are both supported. The Microsoft .Net Compact Framework 2.0 is required on the device.
Since the application is in beta, your feedback would be greatly appreciated. You can either use the feedback form in the application or post your feedback to this forum post.
Thanks,
Brian P. Hamachek
President & CEO

Cool app. If you all can get everyone to adapt and use this program, it could become it's own personal social network giant. Kind of like speed meeting
Who's near me?
Well - I still don't know. Heard about the app from 1800pocketpc. But so far, can't get it going. Downloaded from the dev's website. It says it was installed correctly. Then when I open it it says, "Connecting to service..." and it just goes around and around without ever connecting.
I wonder if it is because I live in a rural area (Boron Ca 93516) without very good cel coverage? Bc I thought I read it works to position you through cel towers.
I have no idea. Wanted to test it. But no luck so far.
Crash after view SynergeTech user profile. Fail to connect to server then.
Using HTC HD2.
started good,chatted a little bit.also notified by answers.
then after a while, I tried to answer again and app crashed. restart didn't work "profile error"
After soft reset my hd2 was very slow.no background process to see.restart still failed.
reinstall takes no effect.sometimes it crashes to answer, afterwards profile error.
but the app is young and a great idea.
please add options to switch off/on gps localization and use cell manually.
the footprint/cpu usage is quite high and noticeable on hd 2...
sended also report by app, but crashes afterwards...
keep up good work! thanx
Mine also just stops and get stuck on the Connecting to service... on my touch pro 2.. great concept though.. Cant wait to get a working version.
Same thing here. Gets stuck at the connecting screen. ...On TP
Will be waitin for the app to start working...
Thanks for all of the feedback. As I stated, this application is still a beta release. We have just published a major update though and the issues some of you were having should be resolved at this point. The application is picking up popularity in Europe so it is definitely worth taking a look at if you live there. Here are the changes that this update include:
Substantially redesigned the user interface (see attached screenshots)
Added a settings screen - including filters for narrowing down the nearby people list
Added support for showing distances in either Kilometers or Miles
Added ability to "delete" messages in order to reduce clutter
Fixed local timezone bug on messages list.
Added terms and conditions consent screen.
Fixed geo-locating issues for some locations.
Added auto-update (with a confirmation prompt) feature.
Fixed issue that caused profile to revert to showing age 13
Many, many, many performance/bandwith enhancements
Many, many, many minor cosmetic and usability improvements
Overall, the application is much more usable now. We hope to get it into the Marketplace for Mobile as soon as possible - which is when it should really get intresting.
You can learn more here: synergetechsolutions.com/whos-near-me.aspx
I have attached the latest cab file for the application to this post.
Thanks!
Latest beta still is not working on my Sprint Tp2. I hit agree to terms and conditions page and gets stuck there now. Would like to give this a try..
Check and see if there is a file called "WhosNearMeLog.txt" in your My Documents (or Personal) folder on the device. If an error is occuring during connecting, it should be logged there. Please send me that file and I will diagnose the issue for you and either fix it in our software or let you know how to resolve it on your end. Thanks.
at first: it's an app, which it free and a beta - soo I appreciate your efforts and don't mind in any way if something doesn't work.
just want to say thank you!
now the result if new cab:
it can't connect to service.
I installed it to internal storage and switched on wifi.
but no way to start it.
I saw... you rely on wwe ... and I have german rom. so I didn't found it in startmenü (= start menu) and had yoi start it in /storage card/programme (not programs or program files)
perhaps the .cab lacks the international parameters like %ce1% or %ce11% ?
or inside app is a wwe-path hardcoded?
here's my log:

Works on Hd2
Just testing it now, works well. Thanks.. Found 28 people and nearest person is 48 miles away

I will look into this. The application is currently being used primarily by users located in Germany (due to a popular German website writing about it) and I haven't heard of this problem yet so not sure why it isn't showing in your start menu.

Someone else reported that the application would not run when installed on a storage card. They reinstalled in the device's main memory and it worked for them though. The application isn't excessively large (around 1MB) so hopefully this will be a suitable workaround for you. This will be addressed in hopefully the next release though.

Obviouslly, this application's value really won't show until a fairly substantial userbase has been established. I am actually fairly encouraged by the number of users that the application has established already though. I was expecting hopefully 50 users would help beta test the application. In reality, the application has had well over 1,500 users try it in just the last 48 hours. Our goal is to add the application to the Microsoft Marketplace for Mobile as a free download once the bugs have been eliminated - hopefully sometime in the next 2 weeks. Hopefully, that exposure will be enough to get the number of users high enough to make the application intresting. Microsoft has also expressed intrest in helping promote the application.
I created a story on Digg about the application. Feel free to Digg it at http://digg.com/d31Qx8J. If it gets enough Diggs, that would really help to get the word out there about it as well.
Thanks!

I have tried installing to sd and main memory with no luck. I get past the connecting to service page, but after i hit agree on the terms and conditions page it just gets stuck there. I dont have "WhosNearMeLog.txt" anywhere on the device.
Thanks again for your ongoing support.
Does your culture's number formatting conventions use a comma before the decimals? For example: 1,20 rather than 1.20
Well, that is what beta tests are for, right?
Jdignazio, please let me know if this updated version works for you.
Version 0.4 BETA (Released on 5/13/2010)
- Fixed issue that prevented connection from devices set to a locale that uses a comma before decimal digits (Example: 4,77 rather than 4.77)
- Redesigned profile picture selection screen and also added functionality to use phone's camera to take a new photo for usage as the profile photo
- Fixed issue where deleted message conversations would return upon the next launch of the application
http://www.synergetechsolutions.com/whos-near-me.aspx
Still no go on a HTC TP2 on Sprint. Retried installing the new version in main memory.
Some suggestions:
Please add a version number to the name of the file.
Please add autocheck.autoupdate feature in the program once it is run.
thanks and keep up the good work.
Who's near me APP

Update,
the app is nearly finished and currently in public beta. You may find it here: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=e4a9c785-efde-4794-8663-d562724e4fbd
Hey,
I'm looking for beta testers for yet another 9GAG client for Windows Phone (8+). I know there are already plenty of clients available but none of them satisfy my demanding Actually there's only one client by Rudy Huyn (Market Link) which is quite good but keeps crashing since the last few updates. In addition it's somehow slow - I don't like that. So, I came up with another one
The app is not finished yet and still under development.
What's working?
viewing posts
viewing comments
downloading images, saving theme into the media library
sharing posts
pan and zoom (up to 25x)
rendering of extra large images (greater than 4000x4000)
What's not working (yet)?
videos
gif animations (ironically I included the gif section already )
uploading images
posting comments
all items on the start screen (screenshot 2, bookmarks working since 1.0.0.2)
up/down-voting comments/images
What's missing
license information and credits (guys who made the wallpaper, screenshot 1-6)
search
you tell me
Known bugs (so far)
double tapping a downscaled images which aspect ratio is nearly the same as the device's screen, sometimes doesn't initiate a zoom (like screenshot 11)
when there are too many replies to a comment, the client will not fetch all of them correctly
still some concurrency problems resulting in an app crash
you tell me
I attached some screenshots of the app. If you'd like to help me, just send me a PM with your LIVE e-mail address (the one you are using for the market). At the moment I'm looking for up to 10-15 testers.
I wish I could pay you for your efforts but I can't However, I will offer each beta tester a refund for the in-app purchase to remove ads (~1.5$).
During beta stage there won't be ads and if so, all in-app purchases are free during the app is published within the beta market. There won't be a "stand alone" paid version of this app.
I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
Yeah, Rudy Huyn app is good, but crashing (mostly on devices with 512MB RAM).
9gag app for devices with less RAM would be good. Lookin forward.

9GAG+ works perfectly so far, of course only the implemented features. I've used it a few times already and can report no crashes.. and the comment design is awesome
can you add the option to directly hum to the first post of a list, e.g. when I click trending? so far, it looks really good

Sounds good I'm going to finish the bookmark system this evening (currently I'm stuck at work ;(). Afterwards I will implement the settings page. If you're lucky you can use it tomorrow morning
I think you're doing good job, from screenshot I can see 2 good differences with other's app
1 comment part ,yours is cleaner
2 screenshot 6, I like it! so I can click only the post I want (everything but the stupid duck )
just sent you pm...

I just submitted an update to the market. Bookmarks are working for now Still no settings
Edit.
At the moment there are 3 testers. So, don't hesitate to drop me a few lines
I'm busy right now , can't try the "bookmark" error you described in pm, but I was thinking if you can add "resume last position" for the sections...(like the other app), bye :good:
Bookmarks work fine so far, only removing them from bookmarks is only temporary (reloading the list gets all bookmarks again)

Are you sure on that? Coz actually it isn't possible. The list maps directly to a database. When you remove an item from the list, it's removed from the database automatically. I also cannot reproduce what you are saying. Is anybody else experiencing the same?
edit.
I just pushed another tiny update to the store
1.0.0.3
- submitting crash reports should work now
- added (basic) settings. choose which channel shall be displayed on the hub page and whether to start browsing channels in fullscreen or in "quick browsing mode"
- localization: en, de

the home is better with icons before "bookmark, settings ecc"
Maybe it's normal but when you navigate through the two pages of channels sometimes it makes some lag, but not everytime.
Are you interested about italian translation?

I will definitely think about this feature. At the moment I don't have clue how to implement it without breaking user experience.
The problem is quite simple. The collection of items displayed in a list are fully virtualized. That means items are both loaded and rendered on demand - starting with the most recent post in a channel. It's more or less simple to initialize a channel from a specified point (last position the user left) but at that time I don't know anything about the ancestor items (posts). In the end the list, which is shown to you, will start at the last position you left and you won't be able slide left to view newer posts. The only solution which currently comes to my mind is to load a channel from the beginning and skipping all items until I reach the one you viewed last time. Of course I can do this but it's a damn waste of resources (CPU, memory and traffic).
As said, I will think about this one. But not now

Well, it shouldn't be normal
Just to make sure I get your point. You're talking about the list view and fullscreen view of a channel? The lag occures when you switch between those two views?
An Italian translation would be great but at the moment I need to finish the app first. Afterwards I could provide you with a list of strings
Starting to test it tommorow
ok tried a lot and no more lag , never! I think there was some bloatware running on the phone.
about the "resume last post" I'm not a dev but I understand to fix... I prefer your app over other's becuase it's faster, if I have to choose between "resume" and speed, the second one is better!!!
good job!

As I told you in the Email, great app.
Here are some ideas to make the app better:
1. For the channels icon you can take the latest picture from tha cahnnel (you can make it refresh every time the app starts or sth. like that)
2. Resume from the last picture you saw in the channel. That means when I'm watching a channel and than go back to the menu and watch other channel and wann go back to the previous channel so that I musn't start watching from the latest picture but there will be a pop up window or sth like that so I will be able to choose if I want resume or start new session.
3. When I tap on the picture there is always some free space under tha picture (see in the attachments "screen 1.png"). It looks really crappy so you should remove it.
That's all till now I will tell you when I found sth.
