Slow Feeds Brings A Simple, Unique Innovation To RSS Apps. In the oft-abused Death of RSS debate, a common and universal truth is typically forgone: RSS is a standard, not a single entity, and as such its survival or presumed “death” should be related to the services that use it, not the standard itself.
The problem many people have with RSS is roughly the same others have with email: it’s not as real-time as Twitter, and if you don’t keep on tabs on it you can easily get overwhelmed by the onslaught of unread items demanding your constant attention. While in the past few years some amazing apps and technologies have leveraged RSS as a foundation to provide new experiences, little has been done to address the simple problem behind the possible frustration caused by RSS: that RSS can be useful for sites with fewer but focused items, but it can get annoying (like email) with hundreds of unread items.

When you tap the icon in the toolbar that used to switch between Icon View and List View, you now get a dialogue that offers sorting options. FIXES —————— - Tap holding the first item in thumbnail view would not bring you into editing mode, it does now. - Minor bug and memory fixes. Clear Skies with Weathersnitch 2.1. Most iPhone users like to keep track of their local weather.
With the introduction of Notification Center in iOS 5, some people were happy with the new forecast features that were available natively in the OS. But geeks wanted more. There are a slew of weather apps on the App Store, and finding good ones can be difficult. There’s so much that can hurt the usefulness of a weather app, from bad APIs to an over-crowded or complicated interface. Something as simple as your local weather can quickly turn into a headache. For some time now I’ve been using Weathersnitch from the guys at Snitchware as my main source for weather information. While testing, I often checked the stock Apple Weather app and compared it to the data in Weathersnitch.
Month at a glance. The month view has been in Weathersnitch since the beginning, but starting in version 2.1 you get much more accurate information with a nice HUD-style popup with the high and low for the day.
