Version 6 is a welcome change. NetNewsWire is much more modern than the last time I used it years ago. There are only a few missing features I need. Like the ability to change the font and font size of the articles and the ability to change how the article list is displayed. Great to see NetNewsWire on the right track.

Bad news: Black Pixel is shutting down NNW. Good news: Brent Simmons, the original developer, is going to take it over again! Will be free and open-source. See Brent's blog post here http://inessential.com/2018/08/31/netnewswire_comes_home

The slide of this developer's application aren't just with NNW3->4. My copy of V2 stopped working all of a sudden, most likely because they turned off the license server for it. They can't generate license keys for v2 any more, so my $20 is gone. I bought some thing that they orphaned, possibly intentionally and require that I pay to upgrade it to get the same function back. This bodes ill for this developer. I'm steering clear of these guys and all they do.

There are so many things missing in NNW4 versus 3. I keep trying to go to 4, but get so frustrated with the way feeds are sorted, how many are refreshed at once, how the panes are laid out, etc. etc. etc. Again and again, that leads me back to NNW3.

NetNewsWire is a terrific application! Five Stars now that it has a companion iPhone Application that it syncs with. … They sync service is free! I love both applications!

The non-Beta v4 has been out for a couple days - available on the MAS and via BlackPixel's site. I'm liking it. They provide in-house sync though I haven't tried it. Their own iOS app must be used.

As others have said, a major step backwards. The UI was "refreshed" to a crappy non-standard Mac app standard. A few examples: it doesn't use the system toolbar API, it places toolbar icons (without option of text under icon) in window title bar, and it's missing a File menu. I have a feeling whomever "developed" v4 is not originally a Mac developer, but rather one of the those "I use a Mac just because I wanted to start iOS development" people. To top it off, it looks like a crappy copy of ReadKit now. I like ReadKit, but NetNewsWire v1-3 catered to a different audience; the original Mac "Pro" user. Too bad Black Pixel abandoned this audience.

A serious step back compared to the last version. The UI was slightly refreshed, but a number of features (like Smart Folders) were lost in the way.

Have been using NetNewsWire for quite awhile, and am very happy with it. I have tried many others and NetNewsWire works the best in my opinion. Fast and clean!

Still using 3.1.7 in Mavericks. Does everything I need it to do. Beta 4 just does not appeal to me..

I don't give a Sh#t about this app any longer.Iam using Readkit as my primary New Reader and I totally give upon NETNewsWatcher.I refuse to let it get me down as you guys are correct It does not have a sync or anything that I would be attracted to. I was wrong and I totally yield!

Why does this keep showing up as an update when the version number remains the same at 4.0.0?

Dec 21 2013

The users don't think the app is worth $10. That is amazing because they are acting like BABIES. Because they didn't get all the FEATURES they wanted. Who are they to DEMAND sync anyway? The developer decides what features he wants in an app NOT the USERS! If they don't want to buy it there are other users of RSS like DRACOTT right below my post that like it.I would say to these users that put it down because it doesn't have SYNC, GROW UP and GET A LIFE!

NetNewsWire 4 is a very capable news reader and well worth the $10 price. I'd rate it a full 5 stars if it were not for one very annoying drawback relative to version 3: The only way you can print with NetNewsWire is to launch a page in a separate web browser. This is extremely inconvenient. I really hope that they will fix this shortcoming quickly.

This is an Outstanding RSS News Reader. I don't know why the users are picking hairs to find fault with it. I tried the new Version and it is great! I wish the hair pickers would have criticized it when BRETT owned it and charged over and over again for the same license. I give it 5 Stars to offset the bad remarks of others. Black Pixel is a GREAT company!
