Windows Store App – Now Includes Background Updates!

The Summer 2015 release of the Skystone Reader Windows Store App for Windows 8.1 devices enhances the app to include background updates. With this update, the app will periodically check and download new feed leads even when you’re doing something else, so newly-added feeds are ready for you next time you open the app, even if you’re no longer connected to the Internet. You can also now read and save feeds while offline. The next time you reconnect to the Internet everything will automatically sync up.

Note: only RSS Feed information is downloaded for offline use – any embedded images, videos, and links will not be available unless you have an Internet connection. If offline link caching is something you’d be interested in seeing in a future release (i.e. the ability to read full articles even when offline), please submit a feature request from within the app.

If you aren’t already using the Windows 8.1 App Store version of our app, install it now.

Happy reading!
