Mostly good reviews!
Well News Addict has been out for a couple of days now and I am quite happy with the reviews so far. Thanks to everyone who took the time to review the app. I notice a few people are having trouble with edge network speed. I have one idea that I may be able to improve that some.
I believe the problem relates to the routine that checks to make sure the user has good internet connectivity. When I had to add this to get my app approved, I looked for the best way to accomplish this. The routine I ended up using is very good at determining whether a connection is available. It does have one part of the routine that could cause some trouble over edge because it actually double checks that an internet connection can be established. This is the best way to know whether an internet connection actually is available, but that extra time it takes to do that seems to be noticeable over edge. Anyway I think I am going to use a simpler routine that doesn’t actually try to establish a connection. It will just makes sure you have at least edge available.
Hopefully that will solve the problem for you edge users. I plan to submit that update ASAP although it usually takes 5 days or so for it to make it through the approval process at Apple. I want to add one more special feature that I will leave secret for now as I am not sure how long it will take to make and it may not make this update.
