Amazing app, beautifully done.

Only issue I've noticed so far is that, when I unlock screen, initially there is stock lockscreen, and after a couple of seconds Corgi takes over. It might have to do with lack of RAM on my phone since there are almost 300+ user apps installed and only 1gb RAM (obviously majority are Greenified).

Other than that, some features I'd like to suggest (forgive me I haven't read all other posts so there might be some repetition).
I like to keep exact track of how much I've read and how much is unread. Hence, two main suggestions.
1. Option to sort posts based on time. Eg. Oldest first or newest first. Useful for people who read news based on feeds. Helps to know what news came at what time.
2. Option for whether the articles which have been viewed should be marked as read.

Awesome job with the app! Thank you!

Outstanding. Literally.

Nicest app both in function and design I have encountered yet. HTC should have designed its Blinkfeed like this. Thanks.

8.5/10 Perfect! Pretty Dang great app, i enjoy the option to add actual websites (for instance xda). There are sometimes when i decide i want to return back to a article but i end up accidentally unlocking the screen itself. I get quite a few crashes sadly coming from a moto x 2012 on 4.4.4 not sure why, i have cleaned the apps caches a few time to see if that would solve it. I would like to be able to change the Clocks font (or style) since it looks like its uses the stock android Clock, Maybe be able uses another Widgets clock?

After using the stock lollipop lockscreen, its such a force of habit to swipe up to unlock rather than swipe left to right and accidentally swiping past an article it feels natural to swipe left to right so if not already planned/mentioned definitely would love to see an option to customize or a default setting for changing the motions to hat. Could add to the + button expanding the article instead of swipe up.

Also articles seem to follow in the exact order of the subscription list, how about randomizing the articles order so you don't have to swipe a whole bunch of times to see articles from the subscriptions that get placed at the bottom of the list.

Is there any plans for showing notifications on top of the news items ?

Hi Kimusan! Sorry for a late reply. Yes we will have them and hopefully really soon, by the end of the week is the plan!

Glad you like the app. Concerning the crashes, might be an issue with the KitKat, but we will keep looking in to the crash reports to fix it. Works Smooth on my Moto G but, I have Lollipop. I'm not sure if we can put widgets for now, we need to add basic functionality first. We will continue polishing the app, so let's see what's coming next.

Do the posts read in the lockscreen get mark as read in the original feed?

Stan.Dmitriev · Mar 25, 2015

In the last version of the app we fixed the bugs regarding this issue. So now, yes it should mark articles as read.

Yea, it works great. :thumbup:

Another suggestion, can you add an option to sort by/show the oldest post first?

Stan.Dmitriev · Apr 2, 2015

We can, but it's not on the priority list at the moment, it's also not that simple, since what would you define by the oldest post, there has to be some time frame

First Oldest unread post. Most RSS readers have an option to sort posts by newest first or oldest first. Just like that. Though yes, if all posts including read selected then there might be a problem. If only unread, then can be implemented I guess. Then the issue might be what should Corgi show when all posts are read.

Anyway, that was just my two cents. You're the Dev. You'd obviously know better how to go about it. :thumbup:

Hi! With a slight delay, but the issue should be fixed now

Just gave it a quick try: and I love it. It's a little bit laggy on my z2 but I'm sure that will be fixed in future version. Keep the good work up and I'll buy it when iits ready!

Hi Jonny! We've fixed the lags in the last version. Please let me know if you have any issues

Stan.Dmitriev · May 18, 2015

We've just uploaded a new version. Your issue should be fixed. The app is Smooth and doesn't crash

Hi there!

You've piqued my interest for this app so much that I decided to sign up on XDA and post here, even though I've been using it for almost 5 years. Please continue development and make this even more awesome.

A Bug report:

Phone: Oneplus One
ROM: Euphoria ROM by Mahdi (CM12 base)
DPI: 408

I faced a critical bug somehow while running this app.
After I installed the app, everything ran smoothly until this error started showing up every two seconds.

(I looked into this error on the internet and the most common reason seemed to be due to a problem with Contacts. But as this error popped up just minutes after I installed this app, I thought otherwise.)

Whatever I tried, it went in vain. I tried rebooting the phone, clearing the data and cache for this app and all that. Zilch. The issue vanished, though, the second I uninstalled this app. No offense but I think there is a possibility that it might have something to do with your app. If I'm wrong, I'm all ears. I'm not very well versed in anything here.

Things I loved:

The animations

The way the app opened up a temp browser to display the entire content

The clean interface

Things that can be improved:

Lock pattern integration (Animation and more options)

The ability to show the Navigation bar translucently instead of going immersive. This is frustrating a little as when ever I pull down the status bar, the nav bar comes up as well causing the lockscreen to seemingly stutter to accommodate the change. I hope you get this.

The color filter that you superimpose over the article while turning the screen on is nice, but can get rather striking at times. I think it would be better if the colors were a little subdued and if the images had a factor of blurriness in them to make the items like Date and Time on the lockscreen more legible.

An option to view the newsfeed as a stream of news articles by swiping up and down.

I see that there is a default image that you use for articles that do not have one? I request you to use a nicer one Because I see a busy street somewhere in Asia as the default pic and it isn't doing justice to the good aesthetics of this app

Thanks a ton for this app. If some of the issues here and there are ironed out, I don't see why it wouldn't become my daily driver!

This is a great app, handy, smooth and minimalistic. I didn't have a Feedly account before, but got settled in with Corgi subscriptions really fast. Thanks!
