By Rene Ritchie, Friday, Sep 30, 2011 | Have an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch and curious which are the best, most must-have RSS feed reading apps you need to check out? We’ve already covered readers in general, from eBooks to comics, but this time we really wanted to focus on RSS news. So if you want to keep your syndication really simple, and yourself up to date with the latest new, read on for TiPb’s top 5 most recommended RSS feed readings apps for iOS. NetNewsWire is the granddaddy of iOS RSS readers and is still a favorite for many. It syncs with Google Reader, and while in version past that was a laborious process, improvements to both the app and iOS have made it much smoother these days. It’s now been given a whole new codebase and has been picked up by a new team of dedicated developers so Read More

By Leanna Lofte, Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 | How does a professional clown use his iPhone to get the job done and what iPhone apps help get him through his day? TiPb’s iPhone at work contest aims to bring you just such slices of the iPhone life. Here’s JimmySlo’s answer and as a small token of thanks we’re sending him a $20 iTunes gift certificate. If you want to see your name up on the TiPb home page and get a gift certificate all your own, head on over to the TiPb iPhone Forum and share your story now! I am a clown in a travelling circus currently touring North America. Before, during (in the dressing room), and after the show, I have my head buried in my iPhone 3GS. Reading blogs, checking the news, and especially checking a Twitter search for the name of my show. I like to get Read More

My recent look at a typical day with the Sprint EVO 4G was well received and I started getting requests for a similar look at a day with the iPad. Not one to ignore good requests, this post covers a typical day with the iPad in Mobile Tech Manor. I should point out that the iPad is so different from most gadgets I write about and I’m not sure there is a “typical” day. Perhaps I should more accurately present a “recent day” with the iPad. It is still dark outside when the merciless alarm rouses me from a deep sleep and I stumble out of bed to greet the day. The iPad is lying on the night stand where I left it last night, having read an e-book before bedtime. It has not been charging overnight, as the extended battery life you’ve heard about on the iPad is not fiction. Read More

To end the first day of the Voices that Matter iPhone conference in Seattle last weekend, a group of veteran iPhone developers sat down for a roundtable panel and talked about the iPad. August Trometer (Yowza!!), Brent Simmons (NetNewsWire), Kyle Kinkade (Tap Tap Revenge), Daniel Pasco of Black Pixel, Tim Wood of The Omni Group, and TUAW's own Erica Sadun were questioned by moderator Chuck Toporek about the differences between the iPhone and the iPad and a few of the pressing issues that both devices are likely to face in the future. Even though the panel ended the day (and all of the attendees and panelists were craving the eventual beer and pizza that would be available later in the evening), it was a lively discussion that offered both insight and frank opinions from these developers. Read on to hear what they said about Flash on the iPhone, app pricing, and Read More

At long last Friday rolls around, and that can only mean it’s time to think back on the week. The home office, Mobile Tech Manor, was as busy as can be with some new gadgets arriving. I bought too many RSS readers for the iPad and am waffling between two of them. I have been on a quest to find me some 4G in the area, with no luck. Come on in and let’s visit for a while. Enter the Gadgets A couple of toys showed up at the Manor and I had fun playing with them. Sort of. The first to arrive was the Sprint Overdrive, the 4G capable modem that functions as a Wi-Fi router to share the 4G. I’m sure it would share it fine if I could just find some. The Sprint 4G coverage map shows the area around Mobile Tech Manor to be blanketed with 4G, Read More

The iPhone is home to a lot of great new developers, but it's also the new home for a lot of old-school Mac guys as well; Brent Simmons is of the second kind. His NetNewsWire is a classic Mac app that's been remade for the iPhone, and now the iPad, with the clean, quick simplicity that Simmons' work is known for. We caught up with him right after his "Best Practices for Content Apps" talk here at 360iDev in San Jose, CA this week, and had a quick chat about how the iPad version of NetNewsWire is doing. Jenny Blumberg of NewsGator's developer support team also joined us. Simmons told us both how the iPad version of his app has made more money than you'd expect, and what he's most excited about from Apple's iPhone OS 4.0 announcement last week. Read on for more. TUAW: How has the iPad release been? Read More

My favorite iPhone RSS ‘app ‘ has always (since Day 1 with the V1 iPhone) been the Google Reader web app.  I ‘ve tried lots of native apps ever since they first started appearing in the App Store “ Byline, Boltreader, Feeds, Doppler, Newsstand, smartRSS, and others.  None that I tried ever left me wanting to use it regularly, and I always reverted back to GReader after spending time with others.  Until the last week or so.  The NetNewsWire app has kind of snuck up on me ever since I started using it.  I had mixed feelings when I first tried out its new 2.0 version “ but it has grown on me a lot since then. The thing is, I now find I haven ‘t looked at GReader on the iPhone in over a week.  I ‘ve been using NetNewsWire all the time, and finding it a pleasure to use.  Read More

By Rene Ritchie, Friday, Sep 25, 2009 | NetNewsWire [Free with ads - iTunes link] and NetNewsWire Premium [$1.99 - iTunes link] for iPhone, the mobile version of NetNewsWire for Mac and FeedDemon for Windows, have just hit 2.0 and brings a lot of compelling features to the table — especially for RSS geeks: It’s enough that I’m finally going to go all in on Google Reader and NNW 2.0 (at least for the next week — we’ll see if it sticks). Screens after the break. If you give NetNewsWire 2.0 a go as well, let us know what you think. Read More

NetNewsWire was one of the original rss fead readers that was offered for free and gave users a decent experience. Slowly more and more apps came out and I eventually weaned myself from the app, as I began using the ever-awesome Google Reader. But now, NetNewsWire is back, and has seen some amazing interface tweaks and the addition of its biggest selling point, syncing perfectly with Google Reader. Now wherever I am, I can view my feeds. It was already possible by using the Google Reader web app for accessing your feeds, but this new iteration makes it simple and the interface is butter smooth. But once again it is not without its issues and problems. The new NetNewsWire only syncs with Google Reader. That means all your old feeds (if you were a previous user) have to be migrated to Google Reader if you want to use the app. Once Read More

NewsGator released todayNetNewsWire 3.2 for OS X. At the end of July, NewsGator announced the ending of its news feed subscription service and released a beta version of NetNewsWire 3.2 with Google Reader synchronization. The way NewsGator handled the ending of its service and migration to Google Reader left a lot to be desired. After sending out an email advising people to immediately switch to the beta, it received many complaints due to the numerous bugs and the large embedded ad in the bottom left of the window. The ad was removed for remaining betas — until today, when it was brought back at half the previous size. To remove the ad you must purchase a license for $10. I’m not sure if this is a special introductory price or not, but for me $10 is a great deal and buying a license was a no-brainer. As well as many bug fixes Read More

iPhone/iPod touch: Ever since the FeedDemon/ NetNewsWire RSS readers announced exclusive Google Reader syncing, we've been waiting for that anywhere-you-go goodness to arrive on iPhones. Now it has, and NetNewsWire 2.0 is almost certainly better than Google Reader's mobile site. To be fair, Google Reader's mobile view is still a great option for Android, Palm Pre, and other non-iPhone browsers that want a look at what's new in their RSS collections. But the NetNewsWire app doesn't require a new browser window, won't lose your place if you venture off to read a link, stores items for offline reading, and offers some great navigation and sharing options, while all the time syncing what you read and star back to your Reader account. Of course, if you're using another reader for your feed needs, NetNewsWire can easily work from your OPML file (assuming you're okay with creating a Google account for backup syncing). Read More

Apple bestückt sein heiß geliebtes iTunes in der letzten Nacht mit dem Versions-Update 9.0.1. Dieses widmet sich ausschließlich Fehlerbehebungen, die auch Verbesserungen im Bezug auf die iPhone-Synchronisation betreffen. Mich persönlich beglückte die Media-Software von Apple seit 9.0 mit zahlreichen ‘unerwarteten Abstürzen’, die reproduzierbar bei einem ‘sekundär Mausklick’ in der App Store-Programmübersicht auftraten. Regelmäßig und mit hohem Nervfaktor scheint dieses Problem hoffentlich behoben, um hier im Blog wieder entspannter Links auf iPhone-Programme zu setzen. Apropos Programm-Links: Die RSS-Anwendung NetNewsWire meistert ebenfalls einen Versions-Sprung und ist mit dem langersehnten 2.0-Namensanhängsel sehr zu empfehlen. Extrem schlank und schnell, greift sich das Programm von Brent Simmons eure tägliche Info-Flut direkt aus dem Google Reader ab. Selbst mehrere tausend Einträgen behandelt NetNewsWire flüssig, ohne Zetern und Geschrei. Während der Synchronisation können bereits die Einträge im minimalistischen Layout aufgerufen werden. Des Weiteren werden ‘gekennzeichnete’ Einträge (Starred items / Flags) gegenseitig ausgetauscht und Artikel zum längeren Lesen an Read More

Google Reader offers a nifty mobile interface, and apps like Byline (iTunes link) and NetNewsWire (iTunes link) are well-designed native apps that allow iPhone users to keep up with their feeds. But slogging through a few hundred subscriptions on the iPhone's small screen can quickly turn into a frustrating experience. My6Sense, which launched the first beta of its web-based mobile feed reader last December, is now finally ready to release its native iPhone app. Thanks to the app's ability to organize your feeds according to a personalized recommendation system that automatically learns from your preferences as you browse through your feeds, keeping up with hundreds of feeds on the iPhone is now easier than ever before. Note: the app should have been available in the App Store by now, but Apple, as usual, is rather tardy. My6sense expects the app to go live soon, but the exact time is up to Read More
