Enlarged, they are okay, but the pixilations of text and graphics can be a little annoying. Viewed at their regular iPhone size, they look too small to read. They don’t of course take good advantage of the larger screen real estate of the iPad. Here’s how phone version looks on the iPad.Īs I‘ve written before, iPhone applications simply do not look appealing on the iPad. I‘m not sure if it’s the best RSS reader on the market, but I use it because it syncs with my Google Reader account.īefore I realized that NewsGator had posted its app for the iPad, I had downloaded the iPhone version to my iPad. For the most part, NetNewsWire has worked fine on my iPhone. I review stories before taking my children to school, and read longer stories throughout the day. As part of my weekday morning routine, I fire up NetNewsWire on my iPhone and let it update my RSS feeds. Maybe it’s because of my increasingly poor eyesight or the hype of a new toy, but many of the larger, redesigned apps designed for the iPad are simply awesome!Īmong the first iPad optimized apps that I wanted to download is NetNewsWire. Grab it while it’s still priced at $9.99.Until I got my hands on the iPad, I could never have imagined how much better applications look and feel than on an iPhone or iPod touch. If you already are a NetNewsWire user and you love it, the iPad version is a must. ![]() Overall, I suggest you to buy NetNewsWire if you’re looking for a simple and stable RSS app which will be updated soon with a lot of new features and performance improvements. I bet we’ll see tons of new features within the next updates. There are no other options in the settings, and again this is due to the app being new. ![]() ![]() I’d like to see more options, and this is clearly due to the rush to submit the app for the launch day. Guess you can’t please everyone.Īs for the sharing features, NNW for iPad comes with all the basic stuff: email, Twitter and Instapaper. I’m not sure whether I like this or not (I actually found this thing useful a couple of times) but many users will either complain about this, or just love it. You can mark all items as read, but if you refresh the app after some time, those items will still be there together with the new feeds. ![]() The main difference from NNW and its competitors is in the way it keep unread and read feeds into the application. I’ve been testing it for over a week now, let’s see what it looks like. It’s a considerable expense, and I didn’t want to be disappointed again like it happened before.įortunately NetNewsWire for iPad is a good application, a great first version, which I’m sure many people out there are already loving. I mean, it comes at 10 bucks, and it will soon go up to 15. I was so disappointed it that I uninstalled and never installed back again on my iPhone.įor this reason, and because I’m always hoping things may eventually change, I approached NetNewsWire for iPad with a lot of caution. It was slow, sluggish and, also, it didn’t look nice as I expected. Sadly, for as much as I love the Mac iteration of NNW (seriously, there’s no better app - yet) I was very disappointed by the iPhone counterpart of Brent Simmons’ app. It’s my default RSS app on Mac OS X, and I downloaded the iPhone one with a lot of excitement the same day it was released in the App Store. I’ve been a NetNewsWire user for a long time.
