Top questions from the FAQ:

Q:The Google Reader unread count doesn't match the NewsRob unread count

A:NewsRob only shows the unread count of the articles that it fetched and are stored locally now. You can set the number of articles you want to see locally using Settings/Local Cache/Reading List. Also relevant is Settings/Sync/Sync Type. If you have "Unread Only" there then NewsRob will try during each sync to remove articles locally that you read and fill them up with unread articles from your Google Reader account.

Q:Not all of the feeds in Google Reader show up on NewsRob. Why's that?

A: NewsRob will only show the feeds for which there are currently articles on your phone.
If you have 300 feeds on Google Reader, but the most recent 500 articles, if that is what you set capacity-setting to, only are in 90 feeds, then you will only see 90 feeds. When new articles arrive that are in other feeds, those feeds will be displayed then.
Also NewsRob will only show the feeds that match the current selection. That means if you look at the label "android" it will only show you the feeds that are below the "android" label. Additionally if you set NewsRob to "hide read articles" you will only see feeds with unread articles.

Battery drain problem Love the app but Since last update runs CPU hard and overheats phone during sync, while not actually syncing properly. Requires force close. Moto RAZR 2.3.5 GSM version

by r3loaded the 1/13/2012

Battery drain on ICS I've had to disable this app since installing ICS since there's some bug which continually activates a cpu wakelock and drains the battery very quickly while sleeping, even when not syncing or online in any way. Hope this can be fixed soon because it's a very nice app.

by Carlos the 1/12/2012

Problem with 4.0.3 With ICS 4.0.3, after each first manual sync, the apps stays in a loop syncing while doing a 2nd manual sync. Stop button doesn't fix it. Only solution is to rebote the phone.

by Will the 1/12/2012

Best reader app I've been installing this app on every Android device (inc my ICS Transformer Prime)... If you can please support developers like this and buy the pro app... thanks for your work dev!

by bigstoyan the 1/9/2012

Not working on Android 4.0.3 Great App. I love it! And I'm using it every day, for months now. I plan to buy it as soon as arrives my new tablet Asus Transformer Prime. Today I have updated my phone (HTC Sensation) to 4.0.3 base, and the program exits (crashes). Please Mariano, can you fix it :) To all readers - this is the best reader at the market - I can talk about it for hours!

Battery issue Seems to be an ICS/Galaxy Nexus issue causing this app to keep the phone awake 100% of the time... Draining the battery. Hope you can fix this soon.

by Betabob the 1/4/2012

Please fix ICS battery usage issue Unusable since upgrading to ICS as it drains my battery. Please fix!
