Free, but... - Sebehk

I don't see David's own feed permanently affixed on mine, even after updating to version 1.5(72). It could be that I have been a licensed owner since Jan 2005.

...and how can you give 2 stars for "Price" for a free software...?! Does the dev need to pay you so you'd give more there...?!?

NetNewsWire is Better - MAC_1984

Toino.carrapato, right on the money with your comment! The moron who rated this five stars is just that—a moron.

Whay I gave it two stars... - toino.carrapato

I gave it only two stars on price because even free it doesn't deserve more.
Vienna and NetNewsWire are also free and the're so much better than NewsFire... They have nicer interfaces, with proper toolbars, they're easier to customize and they both have built-in browsers. And you're not obliged to read the Master's word even if you don't want to; they both allow you to delete whatever feed you don't want. And I don't remember one single feed that Vienna and NwtNewsWire could not handle.
Even free, NewsFire is a poor RSS/Atom reader compared to those two ones, both worth of five stars (specially Vienna, which has always been free). But even at $30 (its price when it was shareware), NetNewsWire beats NewFire hands down!

That still doesn't make sense -- whatever objections you have, when you rate a single category such as price how can you give 2 stars for free...?!? There is no better price than free...!

Of course it's alright if you give bad ratings for other categories, just the way you feel about it...and you did, but rating a free app as overpriced (which you did by that) just because you don't like what it does, is just plain dumb...! But I guess you and some others here just get off on giving senseless ratings without even really thinking about it...

I'll explain better... - toino.carrapato

First of all... If you're not the developer, you must someone related to him in any way. That's the only explanation for such rude words. Noboby classifies others as morons or dumb just because they don't agree with you. It's a matter of basic education. (Or, in your case, lack of it.)
Now about the price... Even free I won't use NewFire. It went straignt to the trash when I understood that I cannot delete a certain feed (you know what).
But there's more... When NetNewsWire went free, NewsGator refunded all users that had bought a licence in the last months. Is the developer of NewsWire (you?) going to do the same? I doubt it. If he'll do it, maybe then I'll change my rate about the price.
