Allows you to follow smartphone news. As well as searches the web for news based on any keywords of your choice and pushes news to you as it comes out.
You can also add URL's from any site for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?forumids=260 would subscribe you to pushed updates from this forum.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?forumids=260

Thanks much

I have it installed. I cannot add anything to the feeds like blogs or anything like that. It is very nice to look at but it is not finger friendly. Could you please tell me how to add blogs and or rss feeds or is that the part that isn't live. Is there anything specific that you want feedback on?
Thanks

Thanks man, but most of us follow Android news too.
No need for us creating threads for every news story we come across.

How to get app reviewed and increase the downloads??

People who has downloaded the app used it have given good rating and feedback. But still downloads are not at all increasing.
All my request to app info sites for review has not been replied or they will ask for money
Looks like there is no scope for good developers with no budget

That's not true: if the app is worth it will be reviewed by some important site such as xda portal (for free) and will start getting a good amount of downloads. Of course you need to keep on promoting on the forums etc.
By the way, what's your application?

I can't find it. Maybe there is a problem with the distribution settings in the developer console?

I've had more success sharing my app on Reddit and tweaking the keywords in the description than with review sites myself.
I have also added a review prompt in the latest version which seems to be helping so far, fingers crossed.

Google Play has some free channel to help developers promote their apps, but that requires some downloads in some days or something like that.
So, you can try make cooperation with someone, and recommand your app via partner channel.
then you may have the chance of listing in Top New Free to Google Play. :laugh:

I think here XDA forum is also a place for hunting partners :lol
Getting some websites to review your app sure can be challenging. Those websites get hundreds of emails a day and it is hard to scan through all of them, but some of them might pick you up on the offer.
I personally posted on Reddit and it didn't get much attention...I might need to try it again, but maybe people didn't like the app...

Sorry, what do you mean with "some downloads"? 10k? 100k? Thank you..
I believe that the best always rises to the top.You do not even need to market your app.It only takes a man to download your app and get the ball rolling.If your blog is interesting and useful,you don’t need to do much else.Example of this is the popularity of Instagram.

This only works for some very special cases; for the others, a bit of "push" is necessary.
To my mind, the quality of the app does evrything by itself.
We had the same problem after we have launched (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/good-weather/id601784766).
We found out that the best way is to approach our users who were engaged with the app.
We thought of a compelling way to ask them to rate us at the store /share the app with a friend/ tweet etc and it worked beyond our expectations...
Bottom line - when you ask someone who likes you nicely at the right time you are much more likely get respond.
We have since decided to develop it to a product which other developers can use - www.kudos-kit.com
Right now Reddit is a good way to promote your app, but best way is here in XDA.
Also, post it on forums allways can help a lot, since most of review sites are not free....

New Simple/Effective Android RSS lIbrary

Hey All, while working on a new app, I put together a very simple library that reads RSS feeds. I decided to make my own, because the current ones are very outdated and seem impossible to customize. Please check it out and share! Thanks!
https://github.com/ShirwaM/Simplistic-RSS
I don't understand what to do with the files in rss.zip
Thank You

What do you mean? When you clone the project, you can include in your project by importing it.

Hi, the data you're seeing is because it's a new site. It doesn't has many visits yet, but it's growing, and there's no such thing as bad publication.
Thanks for the site! I liked it, I´ll take a look. Good luck!
So the article needs to have at least 3 apps in it? Or can I just publish an article about one app?
Thank for your link. I'm about to publish my first app and looking for a ways to promote it.
Thanks for sharing the website
