NetNewsWire 3.2 beta
I’ve always wanted a proper desktop app for feeds but like the fact that I can read my them on my iPhone. I don’t want to have to maintain two lists of news feeds. So I need something that can sync to Google Reader on the Interweb. Luckily, NetNewsWire has just released an update that syncs (almost) effortlessly with Google Reader. OK it is a little buggy but it is a beta version in fairness.
I’ll see how it progresses but I’m happy with it so far.

NetNewsWire 3.2b6 syncs with Google Reader, adds a new Send to Instapaper command, and shows off a brand-new app icon by RogueSheep.
Those features are, not coincidentally, among the top feature requests.
It’s still a beta, though: it’s unfinished software, with bugs — known and unknown — and incomplete features. We say this not to scare you off but to inform. NetNewsWire has a seven-year-long tradition of doing public betas because we know there are lots of folks who like to help — and we appreciate the help.
