Where is the PUSH notification?
Where is the PUSH notification? Please add it! Or else I will recomend feedPush as a better app.
Re: Where is the PUSH notification?
There are no plans to implement push notifications for xFeed. With the upcoming release of iOS4, there are much more efficient and elegant ways to accomplish those tasks.

Re: Where is the PUSH notification?
I believe push notification would be a real plus to xfeed. If there is a better way please advise. Thanks !

Notifications
Original post went to feature request, not questions. My mistake.
Is there a way to activate notifications as new feeds are sent? I was looking for something like, when a new message comes in on the iphone, a number 1 pops up with a sound alert letting me know I have a message. Thanks for the great app.

Re: Notifications
Hello there,
There is currently nothing in place for notifications... A new version is in the works which should incorporate background refreshing and a new notification system.

This is a much requested feature! A clean implementation of this feature is in the works... Thank you for your patience!
Auto update does not seem to work on my iPad
Auto update does not seem to work, or, at least it doesn't work the way I thought it should (IMHO)
- In the Favorites Category, I have a feed named "Gregg Keizer - Security - Computerworld" (THE FEED) which I have defined to have an Auto Update Interval of 5 Minutes. (see Fig. 4)
- When the xFeed app is launched I click on "Favorites" (see Fig. 1)
- The current time is 11:55 and THE FEED was last updated at 11:33 (I clicked on the manual update at that time) I had been on the page for more than 2 minutes and there were no auto updates
- I click on THE FEED and it updates
- I click on the "info" icon to verify that the auto update time is 5 minutes and then press Cancel (see Fig 3)
- I Sit at the the feed screen till 1201 (more than 5 minutes since the last update) but the last update still shows 1155 (see Fig 4)

Re: Auto update does not seem to work on my iPad
Hello and welcome! Thank you for the very thorough question!
You are correct in your observations as to how auto updating is implemented in the current version of xFeed.
The update does not occur in the background.
If, when you select your feed, the amount of time that has passed is greater than your configured update interval; xFeed will download the latest items and add them to your feed.
This behavior will change in future versions. Currently, battery consumption is a main point of concern. If a user has dozens of feeds updating frequently enough, a serious amount of bandwidth and battery could be consumed.

Re: Auto update does not seem to work on my iPad
Hi, I encountered the very same problem these days and found this post and answer. Kevin has written "This behavior will change in future versions." - in December 2010. Now I'm curious, WHEN there will be the mentioned future versions - or at least one, where xFeed provides the "usual" notification center integration? What are your plans, feature-wise and time-wise?
Such updates would make xFeed much usefuller than it is already now.
Thanks, Guenter
