Byline, others offering anniversary sale prices on Saturday

Prices are finally starting to update! Delivery Status touch is 99 cents now. Edovia's apps are all 99 cents as well. App Cubby's apps are all 50% off. Sophiestication's apps (including the excellent Groceries and Tipulator) are 99 cents.

We're going to extend our sale through Sunday. I think Edovia is extending their sale too.

Happy Birthday, App Store!

Unfortunately many of us are having problems updating our prices in the App Store. I changed the price of Delivery Status touch about 15 hours ago, but the price still hasn't updated. Apple seems to be doing some maintenance that's preventing any changes from getting pushed out. We're still planning on doing a 24 hour sale as soon as we're able to.

Edovia apps are still $1.99 - I didn't sdee them switch down to $0.99. Bad information?

Delivery Status touch will be on sale for 99 cents tomorrow. http://junecloud.com/software/iphone/delivery-status-touch.html

It's actually up right now for $1.99

I love Byline. If you have an iPhone, it may not present huge benefits over the web version. I don't know because I don't have an iPhone. I have an iPod Touch, and this thing is cool. It doesn't just cache starred items, it will cache a pre-set amount of your regular Google Reader feeds for off-line viewing. Sync it up on the way out the door and catch up on your news feeds on the bus, the plane, the rare, wifi-free coffee place. Once you're back in signal range, turn Byline back on and it syncs again, so if you open up Google Reader, everything you just read in Byline is marked as Read in Reader.

I think the interface is clean and easy to read and, because of caching, it might be quicker then the web version even if you are connected. It's certainly what I use to read my feeds on the iPod even if I'm in a hotspot.

My only wish was that it could update and sync without being opened. Not Byline's fault that Apple doesn't allow background aps, but it just means that you have to anticipate using Byline and sync before you have no signal.

I don't remember what I paid for it, but it's worth it at the full or the sale price point.

Can someone enlighten me about the benefits of Byline over the web interface? I keep trying it, but can't get it to click. Maybe I need to approach it differently?

Thanks for the heads up. Byline is actually on sale right now for $1.99. I just bought it, as I was looking for a good Google Reader client anyway. Thanks :)
