TODO

• Add a method to allow users to select how often the app check for new podcasts.
• Update the method used to enable auto downloading. It currently uses a foreground process. - Done!

Install Notes for Windows

If you are installing for the first time unzip the file in new directory. Run the Install.ps1 Powershell script to install app. Do not make any changes to files or folders until after you have the app running. It uses a development certificate for this version.

An alternate and more manual method to install the app is as follows. Install the NerdNewsNavigator2_1.9.4.0_x64.cer certificate and click ok on all the defaults during this process. Then run the MSIX installer. That is all the powershell script automates.

Install Notes for Android

Copy apk file to android file system and install it from any file explorer. A good copy destination is Downloads in internal storage. Samsung "My Files" is a good program to let you install the app. You can copy the file from your pc or download it directly from the internet on the device.

Install Notes for Mac Catalyst

Unzip the app from the zip folder. Then copy application to Application folder in Finder. App is production ready. It should just work. It is unsigned and requires you to allow it each time. I will be putting out a free store version soon!

Latest Release

What's New

• Fix UI on Android phones. There was some clipping of download button on phones. No difference on Windows version.
• Added significant performance tweaks.
• Updated and reworked how the app works in the code behind.
• Fixed a ton of bugs!
• Android version and Windows version is fully complete and almost bug free.

Previous Updates

• Made changes to make the app faster and more reliable. Removed Most recent shows. They can be accessed as first item in Podcast list. This was done because I could not manage to make it work. I am sorry and will try to add it back later. The app should now just work without any major issues.
• App crashes should be less frequent. I added thread locking to prevent this. I am pretty sure that is a bad idea for larger apps but since this one is tiny it should have no issues.
• Downloader and Auto downloader logic has been revamped and now if you go offline it should fail gracefully.
• The notification spam for downloads has been changed. Now it notifies which podcast is downloading and then once it is complete it tells u its done. No more spamming the icon with updates.
• Mac version is early beta. Most things work but it may still have bugs. Will be uploaded later. Check back for updates.
• I have a mac so I can test for Mac now.
• Updated the UI for Android
• Android UI now has a bottom bar for navigation.
• Pull to refresh is enabled on every page with shows and podcasts. Does not work in Windows atm.
• You can now download multiple files by clicking one after another. It will download them in order. One by one!
• Auto downloader logic has been updated.
• Updater now pulls from twit OPML file on the internet.
• Many other fixes!!!!
• Reworked how notifications work in Android.
• Various bug fixes
• The zip file is for windows build

TODO

• Fix the last major bug in settings. Resetting app from settings page does not force reload pages on android which could lead to unintended consequences.
• Add a method to allow users to select how often the app check for new podcasts.
• Update the method used to enable auto downloading. It currently uses a foreground process. - Done!

Install Notes for Windows

If you are installing for the first time unzip the file in new directory. Run the Install.ps1 power shell script to install app. Do not make any changes to files or folders until after you have the app running. It uses a development certificate for this version.

An alternate and more manual method to install the app is as follows. Install the NerdNewsNavigator2_1.8.9.0_x64.cer certificate and click ok on all the defaults during this process. The run the msix installer. That is all the power shell script automates.

Install Notes for Android

Copy apk file to android file system and install it from any file explorer. A good copy destination is Downloads in internal storage. Samsung "My Files" is a good program to let you install the app. You can copy the file from your pc or download it directly from the internet on the device.

Mac Version

Mac version will come out later after I finish testing it. It is not ready and barely works at the moment. There are a lot of framework bugs that make this rather complicated.

Downloads

• The zip file is for Windows systems.
• The apk is for side loading on Android
