But when you start adding new features and functionality, you’re bound to confuse some users. For that reason, we’ve posted answers to some of the most common questions about MobileRSS here. Click on the questions to see the answers.

1. What is MobileRSS? How does it work?
MobileRSS is a Google Reader client for iPhone and iPad that lets you stay updated with all of the news and websites that are important to you. Subscribe to your favorite blogs and websites and MobileRSS will sync your mobile device with your Google Reader account. If you don’t have a Google Reader account or want to find out more about how Google Reader or RSS works, we suggest you visit Google Reader online.
2. How do I add new feeds to MobileRSS?
To add new feeds, you have two options: add them via the Google Reader website (which MobileRSS will sync with automatically), or add feeds by searching for keywords within MobileRSS. To add feeds by keyword in MobileRSS, tap “Edit” from the feed/folder list and then the + symbol. Input one or several keywords which describe the feeds you’re looking for (for example: “tech”, “painting” or “politics”) and MobileRSS will suggest relevant feeds for you. Tap to subcribe and you’re all set.

Using the latest version of MobileRSS, you can also subscribe by entering the feed URL directly into the search bar. All you have to do is copy the feed address to the clipboard and paste it into MobileRSS and it'll be added.

3. How do I enable full screen mode?
For most users, you’ll find an on/off toggle for full screen mode in the settings. However, MobileRSS users still using iOS 3 might not be able to enable this option, depending on their device. This is a limitation of the outdated operating system and if this feature is important to you we recommend you upgrade to iOS 4.
4. How do I reveal individual feeds within a folder?

If you subscribe to many feeds, it’s helpful to put them inside topical folders to stay organized. As you add new feeds in Google Reader, you can opt to put them inside folders. This is something we recommend to anyone browsing a large number of feeds, or feeds of more than one category. For example you might have folders for Sports, Tech and Lifestyle, and several feeds within those folders.

To browse through RSS feeds within folders in MobileRSS, all you have to do is click the triangle next to the folder name and the feeds inside will be revealed.

5. How does background refresh work in MobileRSS?
If enabled, MobileRSS will sync in the background, with certain limitations imposed on the operating system by Apple. With this feature activated, MobileRSS will refresh automatically if restored from background activity after five minutes. However, MobileRSS will be put into a “suspended” mode after 10 minutes which will not allow automatic background refreshing. This is a limitation imposed by Apple on all applications to reduce memory usage and prevent poor performance.
6. What is the smiley icon at the bottom of MobileRSS in post view?
Tapping the smiley icon means you “liked” a post. This is a feature that MobileRSS adopted from Google Reader which lets publishers know how engaging their content is to readers. Liking a post does not affect anything else within MobileRSS or Google Reader.
7. How do I submit feedback?
