I thought the app was great except for the color scheme. Then I found the theme option in settings and now I'm all out of complaints.
I haven't gotten a news update since 24 February, almost a month now. Rapidly becoming a waste of space on my device.
19 alerts later and everything is good again! Thank you. (And to Frontier)
Love the app but not getting notifications on new articles for some reason
Great App. Not sure RSS supports audio but if it does, any chance we'll see it? Uhm ... Hear it?
Nice little app, makes it much easier to read the stories during long flights. That said, I've never spent the time to read Galnet, even though I thought it'd be interesting, and so there's a lot of history to catch up on. As a feature request, it'd be nice to have a way to start reading from the earliest unread story. As it is, when I open the app, I need to spend a good minute swiping my finger as fast as I can to scroll to the bottom.
I loved this app til the 20th of this month. I choose that specific date because the app refuses to add any articles from after that date. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times (actually reinstalling it again as I type this) and it still refuses to update past the 20th.
A good app in general, just a shame that the Engineers section is a bit broken now eg. Descriptions of where to find certain items cuts off and it no longer tells you what items you need for upgrades when accessing via the Engineers section.
I like the app, I would like to be Abel to see all the articles I favorite in one place tho
Great app. Has good potential to be THE ed offline companion, it's going to be hard/impossible to compete with sites like inara etc though. Some minor things that could be improved: add blueprints, other uses and engineers on components. Add engineers(links) on blueprints. Add limit or pages to galnet news, can get a little slow on older phones(maybe add it to the settings). Don't try to update if there is no internet connection. Allow the app to be moved to SD card. Bug w refresh and back anim no repro yet
I had this on my Tab 4 for quite a while and recently installed it on my S7. There's color customization available, and with the addition of Engineer and Blueprint information, this app has improved significantly! And of course, there's the news feed which is the reason for getting this app in the first place, which is both convenient and easy to access. One complaint would be to add the amount of materials needed for each Blueprint, but otherwise this app is a must have for serious pilots!
Great app! Makes it easy to keep up with what's happening in the galaxy even when at work or otherwise away from home! :) One thing tho ... Would it be possible to add the ability to swipe left/right to go between different news stories? It's a bit cumbersome to have to go back after being done reading an article to read the next one.
GalNet news and important information in your pocket. Simple to use but full of relevant data so you are never left out of important news.
This app is very good and well polished. Having this information on hand in or out of game is a must for any diehard CMDR.
Perfect for any level Commander, has all Engineer recipes, up-to-date Galnet news entries, Powerplay information, you name it. Keep on flying on, Craigview Software. -CMDR CrimsonGamer99
Fantastic app, and very pleasing on the eye. One small issue though is that the date of each entry shows as the date you opened the app and it downloaded it, not the actual date it was posted. I have noted another app by a different developer does this, but it's not as eye catching, or easy to use as this one... Any chance you could update it to show the correct article dates?
Great for checking the 'news and happenings' without leaving the relative safety of my cockpit. However, a notification option would also be welcome.
Would love to see the power play things on here like where the military strikes are for each fraction and stuff like that other than that it's a great app
Not much more to say, easy way to keep up on galnet while in the pilots seat or elsewhere.
Like the app. Needs next/previous buttons on the portrait screens.
I think that having notifications when there is a new article could improve this app so much! Great job!
Best way to keep up with GalNet.
Like this app & it's proven useful.
The only thing keeping me from giving this app 5 stars is that it isn't easy to tell the difference between articles I've read and those I haven't. Maybe have the text or field change color instead of bold or not bold. Also it would be nice to be able to get new article alerts based on one or more selected powers/topics. Maybe farther down the line introduce a search function when you want to see all past articles based on keyword or topic. eg. Search: Empire; Dawn; investigation.
Great app. and working after update
A very handy tool for keeping up to date on Galnet news.
Great, except that the large font size doesn't look that much larger
Just got the app. I'm glad there's filtering, searching, and tagging articles as favorites. Excellent quality of life features. I have noticed a bug with the Voice Reading as well as the press & hold on the article link. 1) The voice reading doesn't always read either the selected or opened article. It would still read an article that is in the list (even when filtered), but always the not opened or selected. 2) The press and hold selection of articles sometimes just opens the articles instead of showing the options for the article (mark as read/unread, voice reading, etc). I saw this when I searched for "universal cartographics". I was hoping the code was open sourced so I could contribute. Good luck and thanks!
