BerryReader, one of my favorite BlackBerry applications and one that should easily make any top ten BlackBerry applications list, has been updated to version 1.1.49 and has a ton of new features. BerryReader is a Google Reader client that allows you to read your Google Reader feeds on your BlackBerry everywhere you go, even when you don’t have network coverage.
BerryReader features include:
- Access your All Items, Starred Items, Shared Items, a single feed or a single folder for reading
- Automatically updates in the background
- Manage (add/remove) subscriptions from your device
- Share articles via e-mail, Twitter or Facebook
- Read the selected feed or folder even while offline, changes to labels and tags will automatically be synced when network coverage is regained
- Get notified whenever new articles are available (Includes custom LED color support through BeBuzz)
- Choose between compact and full layout and black on white or white on black color scheme
- Swipe left/right on an article header to mark read/star the article (touchscreen devices only)
- Hover over an article to open a shortcut popup for easy changing star/like/tag of an article (touchscreen devices only)
- Fully optimized and compressed synchronization to keep your data usage at a minimum
- Optimized for minimum memory and battery usage
If you use Google Reader, BerryReader is an application that you most definitely will want to take a loot at. Head over to the RIMarkable Store and check out the Free Trial.
I’m a little worried about security – is there any way I can avoid storing my google user id and password in the app?
I have never really understood how the RSS reader and feeds work, but that is my own ignorance. After reading your review of this application, I am going to download it and see if I can get into following RSS feeds. Thanks for the post!
