Great app! Thanks.
Posted by goldenface
I have bbcnews on mine. Does anyone have any others to add? When I do a search id doesn't come up with any more
There has to be more than one...
Posted by Lucas
Yeah, I use Time out!

this does work well on the P990 though I find the content is a little limited
Unfortunately it doesn't work on the TyTN. It installs fine but when running I cannot find how to activate the soft keys to make it do stuff.
However, I much prefer Avantgo on WM5 which gives me most of my travelling time reading material. I wonder if they will provide a UIQ3 version although I never really had much success with the UIQ2 version on the P910

I seem to be having a problem with mine. When I click on the 'get new mobizines' tab, it goes on line to search for some new ones but doesn't seem to find any.
The only way I seem to be able to get new ones is to download them via Opera mini but that includes a whole new version of of the reader and it replaces the original mobizine.
Any ideas anyone?

Hi there - I've been searching all morning for a solution for this same problem with my BBC Mobizine...
(Got it on my N70 - the news is REALLY good)
So I did the obvious thing (only after finally realising I wouldnt be able to fix it myself) and I (very begrudgingly!) emailed them and asked them about it...
..and not only did they come back to me super-quick (like within minutes - and no crappy automated reply either!) but they solved the problem for me too.
Basically - because the BBC is the BBC it can't do adverts.
Which MEANS that if you sign up to BBC Mobizines you won't get the option to choose other mags. (I think they called it a closed group?).
Anywhoo - if you email them they'll sort it out for you... (help@mobizines.com)
OR - text 'mobi timeout' to 63333 and that'll change your group from BBC to Timeout... apparently!
That's what I was told anyway!
They did mine for me manually without me having to send a text..
But yeah - I'm just downloading all sorts of stuff - there's SO many!
Total Film and Football365 being the two I've got so far..
Hmm - Maxim next I think!
EDIT:
I've just found this on their website:
(in Help/FAQs)
"I downloaded BBC or ITV as my first Mobizine – why can’t I get any others?"
If you already have the BBC or ITV Mobizines but cannot see any other Mobizines, that’s because they’re in a ‘closed group’ of Mobizines. To open your mobile to other Mobizines, simply send a text for another Mobizine (eg Mobi Timeout) to 63333 and follow the usual steps to install Mobizines. This should allow you to see all the Mobizines available INCLUDING BBC and ITV. Remember, this will cost you nothing except the standard price of the text message.
So yeah - I was right!

I installed GQ, Popp Matters, BBC, Pocket Lint, etc, withou having to send any sms...
Posted by whatleydude
One of the lucky ones!
I think - by the looks of their FAQ thingy - it only occurs if you download BBC or ITV only..
*shrug*
But yeah - Popp Matters?
Which one's that?
Posted by ares
i might have put a wrong name...is Pop something
anyway, here´s the file i installed...it came with Maxim only from start

@Whatleydude
Thanks for that mate, maybe I just needed to do a bit of investigation myself.
I have downloaded a few already - good stuff.
Posted by whatleydude
No worries Goldenface!
Glad to help!
Which ones have you got?!
It seems these guys aren't just UK based either!
http://www.mobizines.co.za
I want to read some South African Mobizines dammit!
(Sports Illustrated especially!
)
@ Ares - I tried that Widsets thingy a while back - it's just a Mobile RSS reader right?

Posted by goldenface
Downloaded 11 but they won't update. Back to square 1.

My only advice would be to email them!

Alright Goldenface - did you email them?
Any progress, etc?
I'd be interested to know if my 'super-quick' response was a one-off or if their customer care really is as good as it seemed...
Although - I must say - now I've broken away from the BBC 'closed group' this service seems almost too good to be true.. there's just SO much stuff!
Ares is right though - shame there's no RSS a'la Widsets.

I'll do it now, it would be a shame not to use this app.

I emailed and got a reply from Kevin. He told me I was still on the BBC format and that he'd change me over. However still no joy :-( . It looks like they are updating and it takes longer but a message appears saying Update Failed. I'll contact him again.

@Whatleydude.
I updated again and received a message telling me I was being moved over to another group.
However, only 5 out of the 13 Mobizines updated - these being T3, TotalFilm, OK Magazine, Time Out and ITV Mobile.
Do these all update or have some been abandoned? Is it normal for them all to update together?
How often should I expect new versions of the Mobizines to be downloaded?
I have emailed support, I will let you know how I got on.
From what I can see so far this is quite a good app.
Posted by whatleydude
I'm not sure about that - maybe they update at different times?
*shrug*
I'm getting myself a Nokia N73 at some point this week - I wonder if Mobizines is compatible...
Hmm..
*goes and checks*
Woah!
They've completely re-designed their front page!
Looks SO much better...
Dude - http://www.mobizines.com - check it out!
I'm gonna go have a play..
...although - I can't find the N73 on there - boo...
I feel another email coming on!
Catch ya laters...
...oh and good luck with the phone - hope you get it sorted.
I found City AM on it today...

I like the updated webpage. Looks a lot better.
I have downloaded the Application.
Then I downloaded 11 editions and used the 'update all' function. This indicated that it was updating all 27 when I actually only had 11 editions on my handset.
Then I got an 'update failure' message.
After trying to update them individually I found that only five would update.
So I deleted and reinstalled the Editions that wouldn't update. After that I refreshed each re-installed Edition and this worked.
Round-a-bout way of doing it but I got there in the end.
Cool application.

Hey dudes..
Sorry to keep going on about this - but I dropped by their site again this morning.. and noticed this: 'My Mobizines'
I'm just registering!
I wonder what the hell it is..
EDIT:
It *looks* like you can get RSS on there too now!
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
Hmm - Widsets or Mobizines, Mobizines or Widsets?!
AARGH!
MySpace, Flickr, Blogspot - you name it dudes!
This is so cool!

Have you tried SubliMobi RSS Reader (http://www.sublimobi.com) ? It works on my mobile and it's free.
