Just bought this app. Looks real promising! I've been waiting for an app like this since I saw the pixel doubling of mynzb.

Would it be possible to add in the click to queue like mynzb had but for other sites such as nzbmatrix? I'm going to start frequent you're issue tracking site.

Thanks for a great app!    ;D

nzbindex, nzbmatrix, nzbs.org, binsearch.info...

This is all I want.

I just bought this App for the iPad.

For those of you not following on redmine:

v0.5.1 has been submitted to Apple.

v0.6 is going to add support for NZBMatrix/NZBs.org/more. This is being beta tested and will hopefully be submitted this coming Saturday.

Redmine (my issue tracking system), will now allow you to vote on issues that you think are important. You tell me what features to prioritize with your vote!

News on version 0.6:
http://site.kalenhansen.com:8081/redmine/news/8

There are over 40 feature requests and bugs fixes total that will come with this update (including the ones from 0.5.1 which never went public).

NABMatrix and NZBs.org support coming with this release!

As mentioned earlier, there are hardly any sites that have direct links anymore.  Can someone list any NZB sites they know that work with this app until the update comes?  And describe how *you* got it to work, please.

In the meantime, I have already purchased the app (obviously) and am awaiting the update like "mattrb" for nzbindex, nzbmatrix, nzbs.org, binsearch.info...

Thanks!

I'm expecting to have the latest update approved by today or tomorrow (Apple willing). See here for a quick rundown on how to use the "add by URL" feature until then:

Thanks!  Got it.

So did you get your update submitted?  I see postings that say *should have* and *hopefully* but just checking to see if you've heard anything definitive yet.

It was submitted a week ago today. Apple provides 0 feedback until they either accept or reject it. I can only speculate as to how much longer it will be, but usually updates take about a week to be approved...

Ill post on here the moment I get the email from Apple.

Thanks for the update. I reread my post and saw how it could be taken the wrong way, but trust me...it was posted with excited anticipation!
C'mon Apple!  ;D

So, the iphone dev portal says the update was again rejected, but I have not gotten an email as to why. This is super frustrating. I have sent them an email inquiring as to what's up so we'll see what happens. Sorry guys! :(

As soon as I know more, I'll post again! I'm doing all I can to push this update through.

Any chance on getting in on the beta builds if we already purchased the app?

I can't really offer beta builds to the general public since I only have a finite amount of slots and there are way more users who paid for the app than there are slots.

However, I have just heard back from Apple. I'll post the thread so y'all can see what the conversation has been like. This includes the original rejection email before I rolled the 0.6 changes into it:

App Review Team,

This is not specific enough. The only screenshot attached was related
to the original rejection. I have removed that feature and will be
replacing it in a future version. What exactly is it you want me to
do? The current app store information applies to version 0.5. I will
update it for 0.5.1 as soon as you approve it (noting that the feature
has been removed).

Additionally, I don't think the history tab even displays a "cannot
connect to server message" (unless you mean the queue tab?). So, you
must be mistaken...

Update:

They emailed me back again with an actual screenshot. They had enabled HTTPS for my test server (which doesn't require it). Here's to hoping they approve it shortly!

It'd be nice to be able to change the category of a download from the queue. Any chance you could implement that? Hoping that this will be able to replace MyNZB eventually, it's a good start so far.
