NewsBar overview

NewsBar is built with a fresh concept: news feeds delivered with a smooth animation, right to your desktop with automatic iCloud sync across all Apple devices. Converts plain old RSS feeds into a live news stream with keyword watching and alerts. Works fine without Google Reader, syncing with Feedly.

All of your RSS feeds continuously appear on the selected side of your display, or in a regular window. NewsBar is like having your own, personal news agency. You don't have to waste your time checking webpages - NewsBar will show you what's going on.

Version: 3.8

This app is like crash central under Sierra. It's a good looking newsreader, but totally hopeless for bugs and stability. It hasn't been updated in over a year according to the app store and I suspect it has been abandoned.

The same old thing. I had to force quit the new version because it stalled and wouldn't start again.

NEWSBAR could take a lesson from Newsflow which is faster and better. It is a quality app, Anyone that buys Newsbar wastes their money.

This version is worse than the other versions. It is slow and the GUI is slow. The whole thing is miserable. The developers pay no attention at all to this misbehavior of this app. They go on their merrily way as if we here are suckers. I wish i could give it no stars.

For me Version 3.6.5 crashes immediately in Yosemite 10.10.1, Appears for a split second in the dock then nothing. Works fine on my iMac with Lion installed.

YOSEMITE AND IOS 8.1 I have t remove them! They are taking too much CPU on both MACS. THIS IS A VERY odious application.

The Beachballs onYosemite are driving me crazy! This app was good for awhile and now it is useless. A candidate for the trash. 1/2 a star for a miserable experience,

I used to really like NewsBar but under Mavericks it's been reduced to a bug laden mess. It fails to remember appearance preferences and the window keeps disappearing until you quit the app and start again. It has been like this since the day I installed Mavericks and the latest update to NewsBar has changed nothing. Unfortunately it's unusable under Mavericks.

I have been using NewsBar for a while, and it has been constantly evolving since then. I like it!

3.2

Version: 3.2

It finally opened fully. But the choices to put the app in your dock are very poor. You can put it in the far left of your dock or far right.Either way for me it is a poor choice as I would like my RSS choices in the center of my dock as I have a few more RSS readers.Over all the choices of colors are good and the preference to put it in the menu bar is a good one which gets it out of the way but it still stays in the left side of my dock or right.It would be far better if it were in the menu bar as RSS Menu does. All in all it is not an improvement over the last version which was more flexible and easier to use.

The app just shows a bar that says all feeds. Clicking the bar does nothing.The app is now useless to me Using ML10.8.3

This is one of the best interfaces I have seen. Two requests: 1. Growl notifications 2. Horizontal displays

I purchased this half an hour ago so I don't feel that is quite sufficient to post a proper review with a star rating, however I will say that on the whole I rather like it. There are times when you are only interested in certain feeds, so an option to only choose specific sources might be useful, though this can just about be achieved via the search option at the top. I'm not a huge fan of having to view the full page via Safari, so what I'd like to see is the option to view the summary and the full article directly inside the pop up quick view window. Keeping it all neatly together without the need of external apps would be excellent.

It updates every minute? Is it really worth hammering people's servers so you can read the news < 60 seconds after it's posted?
