rss feeds not working
hi, the new RSS feeds seems not working. as double check I tried
other services (twitter, email, etc) and they all work but RSS
not.
I tried one of my feeds:
feed://www.ispazio.net/feed
is it correct or I've to remove the "feed://" string?
thanks

Hi there,
Sorry about the confusion. I've updated your Feed service to just use
'http://www.ispazio.net/feed' and you should start seeing results here
shortly!

many thanks, Jonathan.
in the meantime I also removed the "feed://" part so I hope I didn't messed it up again.
and wow for your speed! :]
have a nice day,
Lock

too bad it keeps not working. the website changes it's RSS adding articles but boxcar doesn't seems to realize. :|

hmmm... now I see it gets it if I enter application and go to Notification, but maybe I missed them on iphone since I've (for now) other applications working with push so they could have overwritten boxcar one. will keep on monitoring...

ok, now I'm sure. Boxcar doesn't send any push notification about RSS feed. if I manually launch the application it correctly reports new feeds in the notification page but no automatic pushes at all, nor sounds or alerts...

I have the same issue with Boxcar. It correctly shows the new RSS items in the app, but does not deliver Push notifications for them. Any hints?

now works so and so... most of notifications arrive but not all.

I have the same problem with RSS. I use this RSS Feed http://feeds.myphone.gr/myphone but nothing happens!
I use another RSS Reader with Push support as well and the other works... But I like boxcar, so is there anything I can do?

For me, neither push nor inbox are getting RSS updates.
I'm using httlp://iphone.alltop.com/rss/
Any ideas?

strange, in the last two days it worked in the morning (europe time) only (not afternoon/evening) but now it's not working anymore.

Hi
I have the same problem. I was using a feed successfully up until Tuesday - then switched to a different URL and it has not worked since. My feed is: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ozbargainnew

Same problem. Paid my $0.99, but haven't received a single notification. Nothing shows up on the Notifications page either.
Feed is my Favstar one: http://favstar.fm/users/rodbegbie/rss
MY EGO NEEDS THIS!

Well, after days of testing Boxcar starts very well in the morning then it starts to get slower and slower during day until notifications stop to arrive since the afternoon.

Did this start working for anyone?

Nope. Stil broken. .99c wasted!
17 Posted by kd5dmg on 29 Dec, 2009 09:13 PM
Like wise this has not worked for me since I bought it. I too am thinking that I wasted .99 on it.
18 Posted by Niz on 30 Dec, 2009 01:07 AM
I've bought 2 RSS feeds and I've never got a single notification. Nothing works even if I use the original feed address (XML), through FeedBurner or even through reader.mac.com
£1.98 wasted. :( really annoyed by this!

RSS notifications don't work for me as well. Feed is http://www.chelseafc.com/rss/ptv/page/CustomArticleIndex/0,,10268~2...
20 Posted by locksoft on 31 Dec, 2009 08:54 PM
To summarize the problem I get a few (let's say from 1 to 3) notifications in the morning, the first ones at the same time of another application that pushes rss news from the same source. Then, while time passes, boxcar starts to get behind until notifications stop to arrive. Maybe the push server is too underpowered and can't keep all the tasks up?
I'm sorry but after two weeks of testing I think boxcar service is not mature enough to be reliable. Good luck for future development, I'll keep having an eye on future updates hoping it will improve soon.

Oh, and have a nice New Year! :]

I paid $0.99 too for RSS feed notification and I get no notifications and nothing in app itself. Help?
23 Posted by nicholas.heilweil on 08 Jan, 2010 04:19 PM
Same here with:
http://www.theiphoneblog.com/feed/
Not a single notification yet.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app more times than I remember. I have set up three diferent accounts and tried various feed urls and nothing I working. The URL is not being stored in the settings even. I put it in and as soon as I leave the page with"feed" across the top, when I go back in, the URL feed is empty! Please fix it!
25 Posted by nicholas.heilweil on 09 Jan, 2010 06:14 PM
John n --
Suprised that the URL isn't at least getting saved. After you fill out the URL are you hitting "Save" in the upper right corner or just hitting the "Services" button to return to the previous page?

same problem where
I hope they fix this soon or get our money back, even its only 99c

I'm having trouble with RSS as well.
neither of these work in boxcar, at all:
http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/16423353477566768633/...
feed://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/16423353477566768633/label/b...
i've let each of them sit for several days (meaning i'm not switching them around every few minutes).
Jonathan? are we looking at a fix for this? or did i just do something wrong when setting up the feeds?
28 Posted by Pedro on 08 Feb, 2010 05:56 PM
People, just buy LetMeKnow from appstore. It works!
I give up trying using this boxcar with rss
29 Posted by kevin on 08 Feb, 2010 06:01 PM
I've ended up using "App Notifications". It seems Boxcar Is not supporting us anymore. Please prove me wrong boxcar.

Boxcar, I know you're reading these. Get out of your box and respond!
