You found no cons? Not the bugginess or the fact that once-free software is now charging an insane fee for updates? As a long time user of NewsRob, I’m now actively searching for an alternative.
In other news: your comment form doesn’t work with the standard Android browser? Seriously? Fix that!
You’re right about it being free, then on the anniversary there became a paid version with only one feature enhancement.
I prefer Greed to this app almost entirely because it doesn’t require you to give the app your GMail login.
A pretty decent app. I am sure Google will eventually release an actual Google Reader app though…only makes sense. So I am not really willing to spend money on a RSS feed.
