Rate is only once an hour! (Your Facebook notifications should be able to be updated every ten minutes, for example.) NetNewsWire is given “sort of” because the maximum refresh Sync feeds across computers and the Web (Shrook uses NetNewsWire uses NewsGator) Comparison of Shrook, Newsfire, and NetNewsWireįeeds can be grouped (NewsFire and NetNewsWire display a merged list of items when clicking on group) You can even save clippings on the iPhone to read on your computer later.

(I don’t mean to bash Opera’s RSS reader, which works well, but if you have more than 4 subscriptions, you’re better off with a dedicated Web app or desktop client.) Opera’s feed reader is very thin on features. Go figure, I guess.Īlso of note is that, until a month ago, I had been using Opera’s built-in feed reader, but all the options here are a lot nicer to use. Weirdly, though NewsFire passed more items below than Shrook, I prefer Shrook to NewsFire. Other than that, it’s great.įor me to go to Shrook, it would need to improve in all the areas marked negatively below. I’ve decided the best way to show why I’m not completely happy is to make a table.Īs you might be able to guess from the table, I like NetNewsWire best, though it does have a serious problem in not being able to refresh feeds more than once an hour, and I’d like to see it have per-feed Growl as an option. The three I’ve tried are Shrook, NewsFire, and NetNewsWire, all of which are now free. Some have come close, but none have hit all the features I’d like to see.
