Product Description:

NetNewsWire is an easy-to-use RSS and Atom news reader for Mac OS X. Its familiar three-paned interface -- similar to Apple Mail and Outlook Express -- can fetch and display news from thousands of different websites and weblogs, making it quick and easy to keep up with the latest news.

CNET Editor's Review:
Like any Web news reader, NetNewsWire hardly qualifies as sexy software. But it's hard not to fall for an app that saves you this much time getting your daily news fix. Using a familiar three-pane interface (think Mail or Outlook), NetNewsWire lets you quickly fetch and digest news from thousands of RSS feeds..

Syncing has gotten progressively worse from version to version. I give it three stars because if it worked, it would be wonderful, but it works less and less well over time.

I installed OS 10.5.5 in my Mac, along with a Java Update. After installation, NNW 3.1.7 no longer worked properly. When reading my feed list, application crashes. Anyone having the same problem?

Thanks

NetNewsWire CommentaryA reason for NNW - Version: 3.1.7b1, 6/25/2008 12:12AM PST

In response to a recent post:

I find NNW useful even though I'm not syncing between multiple devices for the simple reason that it lays out the different feeds and headlines in a manner that is far better and more customizable than typical web browser RSS readers, especially for handling a large number of feeds. It's far easier to browse headlines and summaries and see the number of updates associated with all your feeds in NNW than in Safari, for example. For RSS feeds that provide the whole article in the feed, you can browse the headlines and get the article on the bottom half of the screen rather than just having a huge page in your browser with all the articles. I don't use NNW's built-in browser when I need to open a web page because I hate having to view web pages without ad blocking. It would be nice to have this included, but otherwise I find NNW an excellent application.
