It works okay. I assume it was okay for you to post the link

The only issue i have is the podcast don't come over a bluetooth or headphones. Is there a setting that i am missing to listen to the podcats with headphones.

Wonder how long it comes out of Alpha and into Beta... Anyone have any issues with the Alpha as far as memory leak?


For the first time I feel the future might hold something different for me. It's possible I'm fooling myself but I'm willing to take the risk.

I am holding off for a bit... until it goes beta, at least... 3.09xx works fine for me - no need to rush it...

i have found that using twitter with it can slow down the app a bit and make it lag.

I managed to listen to podcast using headphone without any issue but did not change any parameters. I did not change any settings. I'm on 5.0 but do not think it does the difference!

Download failed for me. I got an error message saying something about compatibility. I too will wait for the Beta version.

It should be fair game to post the URL... it's in a podcast on crackberry.com, and the URL is given out by the President of the Viigo, so it's not longer private.

Are you serious? Viigo is like professional memory leak software for people who LOVE resetting thier phone daily! I can drop to 0 device memory free in less than 24 hours!

As far as the link, if you are part of the private beta team, it is the same link you used to download that and would therefore be covered under the same NDA you agreed to before. I doubt they would take any legal action, but I still wouldn't post it.

I don't let Viigo run in the background it's that simple.. You can set it in the options..

Has this been released into "beta" yet?

I am really tired of the bloating in this app. The last 3.0 version (3.0.892) was over 1 MB WITHOUT all the social networking stuff and podcasts... I have no interest in upgrading beyond where I am. I love the convenience of Viigo, and I have come to depend on it for RSS feeds, daily new updates, etc... but c'mon, Viigo... enough is enough.

After the OS and a few other apps, my Bold only has 54 MB free... and Viigo, you DO NOT get all of it.

I find the beta a bit slow but not as slow as the alpha

I just wish they would improve the download image feature inside RSS feeds.. sometime images don't get downloaded for me :(

I think it ties in with the memory issues and the lockups.

That could be.. I'm finding memory management to be a lot better with 4.5.0.160.. Seriously better so I'll see if Viigo acts any smoother.

While I was waiting for viigo to release podcasting, I found podtrapper which I am liking. And I also began really liking the feeds function on opera mini so I haven't gone back to viigo for awhile. I didn't even load it on my new 8900 yet. When it goes to full release (wait, there is an app for that? OMG!) maybe I'll swing back to viigo.

I am still sticking with the beta. For those of you who are able to get the alpha to work well, congrats to you.
