ReadOnTouch PRO got renamed!

Hi everyone,

the name ReadOnTouch was coming from a combination of the service Pocket, formerly known as “Read it Later” and the device the app has originally targeted, the HP Touchpad. That resulted in ReadOnTouch. After a while “Read it Later” renamed itself to “Pocket” and the HP Touchpad isn’t the only target device anymore. So I thought it was time for a change and the new name is ReadItNow!.

The current version, 4.1.1, was just released a few days ago and is already available for the BlackBerry PlayBook and BB10!

You can grab your copy here: ReadItNow! in the BlackBerry App World!

As you can see, ReadOnTouch PRO made it to the list. That’s awesome, thanks for all the support to the great BlackBerry user community! :)

Today RIM approved the new major update of ReadOnTouch PRO, version 4.0!

This version was completely re-written, using Enyo 2 (http://enyojs.com/). And so it has a new, much nicer, user interface. This is the first version that is also available for the upcoming BlackBerry 10 operating system.

ReadOnTouch PRO: Version 2.0.6 for the BlackBerry PlayBook is available

I did some optimizations regarding the image-download and I finally managed to fix a bug that prevented ReadOnTouch PRO from syncing when more than 1500 unread articles where in your account. The new version was submitted a few hours before to HP and RIM. And what should I say? RIM already approved that version and pushed it to the App World. Great work! :)

Have fun with that version!

ReadOnTouch PRO: New versions for the PlayBook!

Just before the weekend RIM was able to approve the version 2.0.4 of ReadOnTouch PRO.

Here is the changelog of 2.0.4:

- improved: much better scrolling experience with this version!
- improved: hide some icons in portrait mode when article view is not maximized
- added: two more font-sizes (very small & very large)
- bugfix: finally special characters are allowed for passwords!
- bugfix: no more grey box when resizing articles or toggling to fullscreen mode (with double tap inside the article view)

I was also able to remove a webOS limit successfully and provided another update for the PlayBook users, version 2.0.5:

- bugfix: synchronization should now work with large amount of articles

I also want to notice that I submitted version 2.0.4 first to HP and right after to RIM. So, HP is really slow right now… :(
