I checked out their website and you are right. We should update our list in our application. It seems like Pluck has discontinued support of their RSS products. NewsGator still offers RRS feedreaders though: http://www.newsgator.com/rss-readers.aspx Hi Brett,

Their site seems to promote a 'social applications' service technology (w/related sdk's ,etc), and I'm not finding the RSS reader you mention. Can you point me in the right direction?

Work with secure SSL feeds. Feeds starting with https:// 2. Work with authenticated URLs. It works with feeds that store username and passwords. Sorry, I don't have an android mobile phone so I don't have a particular software I could recommend. Best Regards, -Daniel Hi Brett,

I don't know where to begin my search. Thanks very much! Also, I'd like to get my RSS updates on my Android mobile phone. Do you know if something like feedreader exists for Android (that you might recommend) ? This would be INCREDIBLY useful to me as I'm out in the field quite a lot. THANKS!

Sadly, I know Google's own RSS reader will not work with the RSS feed since online service avoid storing your administrative username and password used to access your RSS feed. As for why the RSS feed link on your homepage might not be visible, if you are using a brand new FreshBooks account we display some introductory information for the first few times you login. Once you login/logout a few times, your more advanced homepage will appear. Sorry about the inconvenience. Best Regards, -Daniel @Brett,

Instead, it will let you know when your client last logged in as well as when they accepted an estimate. @odom1,

Will RSS reveal the following about a client:?:
1. when they opened the estimate
2. how long they viewed it
Someone once told me this is possible, but not how to set it up.
Thanks!
