Big Thanks to the FeedHammer FeedBackers!

Hi Everyone!

I thought I'd just post an interim update to let you know that your comments and feedback are really, really important - and really do contribute to the quality of the content on here.  I really do appreciate the time you take to leave a comment - and try and use your feedback to make FeedHammer a more useful source of info

I just wanted to let you know some of the comments I've had via the Android feedback - and tell you how I've responded to them (in the hope I can get some more!). Unfortunately - you can't respond directly on the Android marketplace - so using this blog as a forum to give some feedback to show I've been listening!

So - in reverse order.....

"Useful, but could do with more feeds/twitters." (30/04/2011 - Version 1.1)

  • Very first feedback - this was really encouraging! I totally agree - when this came out there was just a few feeds - mainly GW and the official stuff (and some podcasts I listened to in the car when driving up and down the country for work). Thanks for this!
"Compiles official website news, blog, podcast, YouTube and twitter feed into one place. Works well." (7/12/2011 - Version 2.0)
  • Thanks so much for taking the time to post this. Just really encouraging - and gave me hope that I was going along the right track (albeit still a long way from my vision for the product!
"Great app All warhammer news in 1 spot." (14/12/2011 - Version 2.0)
  • Again - just really nice to get positive feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to write stuff like this (makes me think I should do this more for other apps I like). It gives so much encouragement to the developers! (well, me, in this case!)
"More content If you add more feeds or enable ways to recommend feeds this would be much better. Bols and front line gaming please." (08/01/2012 - Version 2.0)
  • BOLS and FLG - I added these just after this post. And BoK. I kinda half knew about them - but never really read them - they have turned out to be great additions - so grateful for this post. I agree an easier mechanism to recommend would be better - and will be coming soon. I've made it easier on the website now - got rid of the Google groups like and replaced it with a simple form that will send me an email. I will integrate something into the app too - it's just taken a back seat to a raft of other exploratory developments recently...
"Bloody brilliant Does what it says on the tin. A must have app." (28/03/2012 - Version 2.0)
  • I love you and want to have your babies
"Pretty Good Needs other stuff than just Tabletop aspect of the hobby. Maybe Black Library releases also some info on Fantasy Flight Games RPG series round this up nicely." (29/07/2012 - Version 2.1)
  • I never thought about that before - but now have added Fantasy Flight feeds too. Although I haven't done WHFRP for a long time - I've got a halfling fire-eater sitting in Nuln on what must be a massive fortune by now (if that wine importing business is still going as well as I left it 10 years ago...). I still wonder about splitting this up into Fantasy and 40K.... but for now will leave as-is and see how it goes

Thanks again to everyone who uses the app - if you can take the time to give some feedback - either by ranking, leaving a comment or contacting me directly via the website (at  http://www.feedhammer.co.uk/contact.php) - Khorne bless you all...
