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!

Re: [Announce] Rocket
 

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.

Re: [Announce] Rocket
 

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 :)

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

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!

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

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?

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

The display of feeds on the event page should<name> on Twitter rather than just <name>.

Edit:
In addition, maybe i suggest that the icon on the Low power screen be similar to the icon on the Status bar when received a notification, and the icon on the status bar probably would be more cohesive with N9 if it's blue in colour rather than white, plus it grabs the attention easier, especially when the alarm is set.

And the avatar on the event page, some blank (See Fakeselop), some not, I'm not entirely sure the pattern

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Hey.

Is there something specific I need to do to integrate the app in the events-feed? I've enabled the option and tried to play around the settings alot, but the tweets just won't appear on the feed

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Tweets appear as Rocket updates itself. It will only post tweets posted after you activated the push to feed option. Just let it run awhile and it will start posting them to your feed.

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

It used a lot of swap memory

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Can't seem to get it to update the events feed. Nor does it seem to update itself dependably. Otherwise it seems to be a very nice application.

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Is there a trick to skipping to the top of the timeline? If I have been using Twitter on my desktop computer all day, it takes a couple of minutes to scroll past the several hundred tweets in Rocket that I've already read.

Other than that I'm finding it to be a great app!

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Click on the timeline bar to go top to latest message...

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Thank you sooooooooooooooo much - that's made my day.

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Hope to get new version with better features :)

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

After using Rocket I started to get a a number of junk mentions from .ru sites.

With other clients I do not have these broblems.

Similar experiences?


Edit. Did not take long after this comment and a a new one arrived...

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

are there any updates in the works?

this is a great app already, but a few things should be ironed out:

- event feed updates should be synchronized with the phone like stock twitter
- some avatars missing
- low power screen logo is a bit to big
- cant login to my pocket account

thanks!

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Great app, I love it. Please continue to support it :)

One minor issue:

On the Event home screen when showing a tweet it would be great if it said "Random twitter person On Twitter", just like how the stock facebook one shows "DS McGuire On Facebook" :)

Thanks :)

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Howz this compared to Qneptunia? I'm temptered to buy it!

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Its ok. And If You want to push tweets to events this does it.
Consumes less memory than Qn but notifications are not as good.

The project might be working but no more apps coming for MeeGo from developer
I asked on Twitter they said they r no more developing for MeeGo but focusing on android and ios :(

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Will they update it to twitter api 1.1?

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

damn, regretted with my purchase..overrated app , period.

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

They can still be relevant developing this further for todays users and coming platforms...

This thread actually felt like a bait and switch sort of app promotion thread. He came in to promote his app is in Nokia Store and ask us to try and provide feedback but no longer participate the dialogue after just a few pages, 3 or 4 pages AFAIRemember

In addition, I requested to join his beta program on 2 different occasion, he said ok and will share via dropbox but that didn't happened either even when I politely ask again after a few days of wait.

This was a kind of cheap marketing. He benifited from TMO @ a cost of 3 posts.

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

This application is a decent one among others based on my experience. The very unfortunate thing is that the developer of this application quit supporting it any more!

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Ok, this app is just qneptuna with no instagram support.
Or did i missed something ?

It also integrates into the default news feed. Otherwise qneptune is smoother, faster and has more features.

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

So is this the only twitter client that currently integrates with the Events feed?

I've tried Twimgo, Qneptunea, and have settled so far on Tweetian, but when I last checked, none integrated into the feed which would be a huge win. I'm not sure I want to invest money in a dead app to find out.

Would be great if the Devs of these other apps could get that integration working.

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

There was a uppdate promise but right now interresting is does this support new Twitter API?

Afaik no.

-via Maemo Talk app

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

i will never buy an app again.
This app looks based on qneptuna sources, with less features.
Waste of money...

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Currently this application works fine even after March....if it works then i think this is the best twitter application just because of event feed integration.

Re: [Announce] Rocket - Twitter Client
 

Yes but time is running out?

https://dev.twitter.com/blog/changes...to-twitter-api

This app may appear similar to QNeptunea. It does integrate into Feed and ShareUI but it uses 10 times less bandwith.
Still not switched to 1.1. :(
