Reader Feedback on The E-Sylum iPhone App
Why on earth would I want to read something on my phone? I'm blind enough as it is, from reading small print. Megan Fenselau of the American Numismatic Society writes: I had no problems downloading or using the Coin Mania app. It looks great. Obviously there is only one issue up right now, but as more issues come out, will the list of links just get longer or will the old headlines go away, replaced by new ones? On my RSS feeds I am able to delete an article out of the feed once I've read it, but this of course is a little different. This is definitely very cool. Let me know what company you used, we might try something similar for the ANS E-news someday soon. The RSS feed is recreated fresh with each new issue, so the old links will go away. If they didn't, the list would get awfully long and might slow down the app or freeze your phone. But there IS a complete list of all E-Sylum article headlines on our web site at the below location. It's automatically updated each week at the same time the RSS feed is created. When technology works, it's a wonderful thing - it's like having a staff of robot worker bees to do the work. To view the complete article list, see: E-Sylum Complete Table of Contents (www.coinbooks.org/esylum_toc.html) Here's the description of the app on the Apple iTunes site: The E-Sylum is like a cocktail party attended by many of the top coin collectors and dealers around the U.S. and the world. Get the facts from people in the know about numismatics: coins, medals, tokens and paper money from ancient times to today. Get reviews of the latest numismatic books and read about the latest discoveries as they happen. Vote for The E-Sylum app here:
