+1. Easily the best reader available. I honestly don't have a single major complaint about it. The UI is customisable and one of the best designed readers out there and it's fast. My only slight niggle is that a recent update seems to have slowed down the content loading a little bit, though I don't know if it's my imagination. I just remember it being really fast to load when I first started using it, and now it takes a tad longer. Doesn't really detract from it though.

quick fyi - wife got a 80% of data warning the other day, seems the culprit was facebook pre-caching videos on mobile network, there's a setting to switch it to wifi only be seems to be set off by default - 500mb wasted on videos in her news feed she didn't watch!

Where is that setting exactly, can't see it? Seems to be way too many "settings" sections
App settings > Videos play automatically > off

Read his post, it's not relating to videos auto playing, that is already off on my phone. His post relates to the app still caching those videos when on 3G/4G instead of only wiif
No, that's exactly the setting he's on about.
With it on, they pre-download and auto play when you scroll past. With it off it doesn't download them until you click play.
Nope, it's the correct setting. Needs to be on WiFi only or Off.
Just tried it. Not bad, not bad at all. Will keep at it and see how it does.
Anyone using Textra? Started using it yesterday and it's much nicer than the default messaging app. However whenever I finish sending a text, the app closes and I have to open the app again to see if the message sent or read other messages. Had a look in settings but can't see anything.

What's a good Twitter app? Not fussed on the official one. Used Tweetbot on iOS but it doesn't seem to be on Android? Need to manage 3 acc's if that makes a difference?

I use Fenix. It isn't free, but it takes the best bits of Falcon Pro (similar and also very good) and just builds on it. And you can manage multiple accounts on it, though I've not tried it.
Give it a go for 10 mins and if you don't like it, get the refund instead.

Great cheers guys, I'll check it out
No. By double tapping notification on lock screen most of the time. Have reinstalled so will see what happens.
I use PF Voicemail+ for my voicemail. My dialer, sms and whatsapp will show a number by their icons if there's a new call, sms or message. Is there any way to get PF Voicemail+ to do the same or any clever workaround for this?
