PwnGameReader | An Android OGame RSS Reader
PwnGameReader shows OGame RSS feeds on your Androids desktop. Where most standard RSS readers are not capable of reading OGame feeds, PwnGameReader is highly optimized to display OGame feeds: spying, news, combat, coordinates, filters, aggregation, notifications etc. We also have a solution to get the huge OGame RSS link into your mobile (see below).

Steps to get your OGame RSS on the phone:
- Get the "Commander" addon for your OGame account. Some "dark matter" is needed for this.
- Activate the RSS feed for your account. (EN: Settings - General - News) (DE: Einstellungen - Allgemein - Nachrichten)
- (Recommended) Copy and paste the generated Link on this websites form below. You will get a short ID that is much easier to typewrite into your phone.
- Visit Android Market and download our OGame RSS Reader app. Just search for "OGame"
- Start and Configure the widget with your ID/Link/Account.
- Therefore tap and hold a free spot on your mobiles desktop (3x2 squares) -> Select "Widgets" -> Select "PwnGameReader.
- If you get a HTTP 401 authentication error, de- and reactivate your OGame RSS link in OGame account settings. Then try again with the new link. This is a OGame related issue.

Notes:
- Because OGame does not support the use of incremental RSS feeds this application will generate a fair ammount of internet traffic! Make sure you have a mobile data flatrate or enought traffic volume. Usage approx: 100-300 MByte/Month. May vary on usage and update interavls. I am working on RSS diffs via our server as optional feature.
- We will not save or transmit your account data anywhere. Your OGame Username/Pass is only stored locally on your phone to be able to request your RSS feeds. The RSS link that you can post here in order to get a shorthandle does not include your account data. However, you have to trust me on this... And I dont want to lose my reputation.
- A suitable CombatReport parser will be implemented soon
Copy and Paste your full OGame RSS Link (URL) here to get a shorthandle:
