Powerful!

For something free this is incredibly powerful and complete.
- SEARCH!
- Add feed from URL has one of the most powerful feed discovery tools I've seen.
- OPML Import was so quick!
- has a one click feed editing.
When starting off I was a bit confused as it first show the intro and no menu, but once you have a feed showing all the tools appear.
This Version Is Great! Works fine! - Version: 1.2.1, 4/24/2006 10:54AM PST

I have imported 150 feeds from Net News Wire as OPML file successfully and all works great. Good to have this RSS reader back and working great on all my Macs.

I have been trying out several Newsfeed apps including; NetNewsWire, Vienna, and others.
Many people cite NetNewsWire as being their favorite app, but I prefer RSSOwl for a few reasons over other apps:
- it's free
- it's fast
- it is very customizable
The only downside is that you need to spend a few minutes doing the tutorial to become familiar with it, because it appears complex at first sight. Once you have educated yourself (about 5-10 minutes), this program reveals itself as easily the best newsreader out there (free, or not).

Sad to report I removed RSS Owl as It does not appear to be compatible with 10.4.2

This seems to be the freeware newsreader which will replace the now moneysucking NewsFire. Great work, nice and easily to customize. Thanks! : )
Pretty, but non-functional

Um, no HTML rendering?
It appears to be a halfway-decent reader, but the feeds it retrieves merely show the raw HTML text of the site.
Not really useful...

One note to makers of RSS feed readers. There exists a real need for a way to host one's RSS streams in a minimalist HTML format so that people can read their feeds on a cellular phone, which naturally can't handle lots of extravagant graphics but could display the contents of RSS feeds with graphics easily. Services like Bloglines, which let you surf your feeds online from any computer, still require logins and other things that a cell phone couldn't handle. So how about adding support for this with an RSS reader -- it could have options for creation of a view-anywhere HTML display that could be surfed from any machine via web sharing, or uploaded to an FTP site at regular intervals? Viewing one's RSS feeds on a cell phone is a "killer app" that has been ignored totally so far, as long as I can tell.

Great freeware!
as soon as RSSOwl is activated, frontrow and even dashboard is losing it's pretty animation. the animation is not "flowing" anymore. doesn't look nice and is very slow. as soon as i close RSSOwl, pretty animations are back.
i don't know why... i also often have crashes when reading articles. even when doing nothing it suddenly crashes.
however, RSSOwl is my favourite newsreader. perhaps the developers can try to fix this frontrow issue.
greets and happy eastern
