NubiNews is ranked top new apps on Android

Today, all of a sudden the ranking of NubiNews in the Android Market jumped from #12 to #6 in the "News and Weather" category. You can see half a cow icon now.

Since #1 in #5 in the "News and Weather"category are all weather apps, I guess that would make NubiNews the top news app on Android Market.

Frankly I don't know how this could happen, since there are a few news apps out there that have more downloads than NubiNews. But I guess I shouldn't argue too much about this, so ....

Yay!

New Home Page Design

Some users commented that the NubiNews home screen is getting too crowded (with more than 20 sites ...), so in the next version, you will be able to select which sites are displayed in the home screen.

Ooe Mariko is cute

For those who bother to read the End User License Agreement and thought I forced them to sign away their lives, here's the proof that, at least of section 8 of the EULA, I didn't cheat you.



And she's a smart cookie, too.

download older versions

Some users have reported that after recent updates, the speed of NubiNews has become slower. However, I am not able to reproduce this (on 3G, Wifi or Edge networks).

You can download earlier versions at

NubiNews1.8.apk (2009/04/04)
NubiNews1.9.apk (2009/04/10)
NubiNews2.0.apk (2009/04/10)
NubiNews2.1.apk (2009/04/12)

To install, browse this page inside NubiNews or in Android Browser, click on the link and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you find one old version is significantly faster than the latest one (2.2), please let me know at nubinews@gmail.com!

Added 文学城论坛

Nubinews Forum

I have created a forum for people to post requests, opinions, etc, about NubiNews.

http://forum.nubinews.com/user/Discussions.aspx

A link to this will be added into the app in the next release (v 2.3).

Finally 10,000 downloads

10000 downloads in about two months. Thanks to everyone for your support :-)
