Re: [Announce] Rocket
 

Hi ukhamitov,

Purchased Rocket a few hours ago after reading about it on MNB... A few issues I'd like to highlight:

- The avatar in the feed-screen is in squircircles but in the app, squares are used instead

- Using default twitter client if you open the client and new tweets come in, they are automatically pushed to the feed-screen too; this doesn't happen with Rocket

- What is the interval for updating? I couldn't find any update feed-screen interval; also does this mean within the app itself there is no update interval but auto-retrieval which is actually very good

- If you open a tweet from the feed-screen with Rocket closed, it takes sometime for Rocket to open (understandable as default Twitter client takes time too) but the tweet that opens up has missing avatar with some rendering for the "via XXX" being wrong too; you can see it below:

Other than the above everything else seems very nice :)


Thanks for the great work!

Looks nice indeed.

Re: [Announce] Rocket
 

Looks very nice. What about identi.ca/status.net support? Is that something that you might add in the future or is it planned to stay Twitter-only? Ideally we'd have two accounts (1 Identi.ca and 1 Twitter) set up then, but even if you just support a single service, one could use Rocket for Identi.ca and the Twitter app for Twitter.

Hi! I thought about identi.ca/status.net support. But first I want add Twitter-multiaccounts support. May be in future :)

Re: [Announce] Rocket
 

Thanks for bug-report. I will fix it very soon :)

just wonder can adjust the event feed reflesh time, 20 mins is too often

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Great app!! Already better than the stock app.

Only thing is that I can't select location sending while composing a new tweet. If I select the always send location option in the settings menu it doesn't seem to work either.

Otherwise great app, thanks for your work!

sent you an email regarding yhe feedback on rocket. This have hige potential indeed

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Is it possible to have it only update with the default refreshing of the event feed? Can't the daemon bet set only to start running when the phone auto refreshes the feed itself, just like the normal twitter feed?
