Reeder for Mac

http://www.macintouch.com/index.sht....2011.06.10.rdr

"Silvio Rizzi's Reeder 1.0 is a desktop Google Reader client for RSS newsfeeds. It offers synchronization with Google Reader accounts, integration with Readability, support for gestures, "send to" services (for Instapaper, ReaditLater, and Readability), support for saving to Pinboard, Delicious, and Zootool, posting to Twitter, and other features."

I've read lots of reports on this, and everyone that uses it seems to really like it. I guess they better since it's priced at $9.99 USD in the App Store for Mac [affiliate link]. I used to use NetNewsWire on my Mac, then I pretty much switched to staying in the Google screen for reading links. That isn't a very smooth way to do it so I'm glad there is a great choice for a reader for Mac. On the iPad I've primarily used Reeder [affiliate link], so it seems logical that they designed a version for the Mac. What do you use for a news reader on your Mac, or your iPad?

I tried Reeder when it was in beta, and while it's nice enough, I don't find it compelling enough to spend $10 on, especially since I only have 22 RSS feeds. On my iPad, I use NewsRack which I bought a while ago for my iPhone and since it's universal it works well on my iPad as well. __________________ XBox 360 S, 16GB iPhone 4S, iPod Classic 160 GB, Dell Inspiron Mini 1018; Macs: Mac Mini 2.4 GHz 6 GB RAM; Macbook 2.0 GHz 3 GB RAM; MacBook Air 11", 24" Cinema Display

Dyvim Sage Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 676		I use Reeder on my iPad and on my iPhone. I've tried many different RSS-feed reader apps (esp. on iPad) but this is the one that has stuck. Apart from Twitter, Reeder is probably my most used app on the iPhone. I find it interesting that people think that $10 is a lot to pay for desktop software. I guess now that the Mac App Store has arrived, folks are expecting iPhone App Store prices (i.e. the race towards the bottom at 99 cents). I might give this a try, but I've been pretty happy for years just using the Google Reader page in my browser. __________________ 64 GB iPad 2 WiFi, Apple TV 2, 32 GB iPhone 4 Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" (dual boot with Windows 7), Early 2009 Mac Mini

I've paid WAY more for Mac software and don't have any issue with paying for software that I need/want. I've had Newsrack for a while & don't recall what I paid for it, but it was worth whatever I paid for it at the time. Of course, the fact that programs like Aperture on the App Store are a fraction of the price of the boxed set cost could spoil folks! __________________ XBox 360 S, 16GB iPhone 4S, iPod Classic 160 GB, Dell Inspiron Mini 1018; Macs: Mac Mini 2.4 GHz 6 GB RAM; Macbook 2.0 GHz 3 GB RAM; MacBook Air 11", 24" Cinema Display
