Would like to buy the full version, however the link in the article just gives me a 404 and on the marketing the pro version can't be found... (using Milestone in Europe)... Are there other possibilities?

I just learned about read it later (and then paperdroid) a few weeks ago and it's great. After playing around with paperdroid (free), I now would like to ask for a feature-request in the pro version, which I would buy then:

Would you mind adding a feature to sync directly after adding a new link to paperdroid? I often check twitter on my mobile (e.g. on the way home or walking through my flat) and save links through paperdroid. But I usually forget to sync it afterwards so I don't have them at my desktop. And then I need to use my mobile, sync, sync my desktop again, and its tedious :) I don't want my mobile syncing every 15/30 minutes, but the 3 articles I add per day should be synced at once. If that would be possible it would be a great reason to buy the pro version. Thanks a lot for considering (I hope :))

@taffit: I'm afraid that's because the Android Market doesn't (yet) allow paid apps in your country. I'm still considering other options, but I'm short on time right now :(

@Baraan: I _sneakily_ introduced an "immediate updates to server" feature somewhere after 1.1.0. Unfortunately I don't recall a) whether it's Pro only and b) whether it also applies in that particular scenario you describe.

As soon I find time to get back to work on Paperdroid (it *must* be soon! it's about time to update it with some ideas I had and fix some remaining bugs) I'll make sure to include it if it's not there already. In the meantime, you might want to purchase it, and if the feature is not there ask for a refund - then re-purchase it when the next version is out :)

I bought it a couple of days ago and couldn't find the feature. But I like the software anyways, so I didn't refund it and set a small update timer. But if you could include that feature sometime (or tell me how to activate properly use it...) I would be grateful. :)

Thanks for this nice piece of android software. :)

I can't find the pro version in the UK market for the desire. Any clues?

Same as Horace Hippo, no Pro version in the UK market!

This app I really really want.

Howdy, I've been happily using paperdroid pro since it turned up on the market, but Google sync is no longer working so I can't sync Google reader! Please fix, it's a great app when fully functional.

Fantastic app and I've recommended it to many people. I have to do a ton of reading for my job and I use PaperDroid to read some the necessary but lower priority stuff.

ONE big REQUEST -- if possible, can you add a feature that will enable the program to snag the entire article if it's more than one page? In some cases, Java is used on a site and even clicking on the "full page" version doesn't change the URL shown but does change the text. Not sure if it's possible but please give it a shot!

PLEASE update the Google sync / login issue. Are you still supporting this app?

towlerj | August 4, 2010 at 9:25 AM

For some reason Paperdroid Pro isn't updating articles to ReadItLater for me, even with a manual sync. This is pretty annoying, and kind of defeats the object of the application for me.

Any ideas? Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix?
