I think a few of you have hit the nail on the head. Software that is not free must have a “point of difference” to its competitors. I know the UI is certainly a bit different, but it’s going to need a few more ‘bells and whistles’ to get things moving.

Having said that, I do note that these guys are also develop for the iPhone and maybe we’ll see some integration/sync between their Mac App and a native iPhone App………maybe……..who knows.

Either way, good luck to them and I’m especially a happy camper as it was part of the MacHeist Giving Tree promotion so a big thumbs up and thanks to the developer for participating in it.

Cheers and a happy Xmas / new year to all!

CaptSaltyJack said it all with the “one built into firefox”.

And firefox is free.

I am sure this is a great app, but I just spent a small fortune on my imac so there is no way I am buying software that I can do the same thing with something else for free.

Your argument is weak, albert.. not to mention I can barely understand what you’re trying to say.

The point remains that there are several free RSS apps:
* the one built into Mail
* the one built into Firefox
* the one built into Safari
* NetNewsWire

Any newcomers that are going to be charging $$ better have a strong argument as to why we should pay money. Like some killer feature set that nobody else offers.

hey… It’s true that this app needs improvements and it’s true that need fixes as well… but let me tell you all that we think this app need it’s useless when you cant find it on any other rss app out there. so stop wining and help this developer buyingthis unique app and the next version will be cheaper for u and better.

I have to agree with both CaptJack and satoshi. While I can appreciate any developer trying to make some scratch with a product they’ve worked hard on and brought to market, the RSS (and browser) market is just too darn full of pretty good free products. It’s going to be a difficult up-hill battle for any reader that isn’t free. I won’t even bother with a demo, because in the end, NNW and Google Readers are free. And in this market, that’s about 90% of the decision right there.

I like this app and the concept, and I don’t personally care about newsgator or google reader sync. But paying $20 for an RSS reader just seems like paying for a browser to me. It’s such a basic thing that you can get for free…

Indeed, connectivity with Google reader would be an excellent feature.

Hi All,

We plan to integrate and expand Headline with Google and Newsgator sync on the next major update with many other features.

Just my personal opinion here, but any RSS reader that doesn’t support connectivity with Google Reader = instant fail. I (along with many others I’m sure) rely on Google Reader since it delivers “RSS anywhere.” From work, from home, my stuff is always in sync.

I wouldn’t want to use an RSS client that couldn’t sync with Google Reader. Just doesn’t make any sense to me, especially since at work I’m on Windows and at home I’m on Mac.

This would work great with FriendFeed if they added an option to post messages.
