I recently tried a bunch of other RSS readers (specifically ones that interface with Google Reader). There are some good ideas out there, but in the end I found that this one is still my favorite. It's not the prettiest, but it's fast, reliable, and customizable enough to work the way I want it to.
Glad to see this once-great app restored to its former glory.

if it's crashing, then either not enough memory, or something else.
excellent newsreader, fast, downloads feeds fast, displays them very well. I have no problem with it.

The developer didn't change a thing since 2007!!! All the effort went into his iOS apps.
The new developers since to be worse!!!

1) An in-app browser, so you don't have to use an external browser as part of the reading experience;
2) Proper organisation of feeds (ie, folders within folders) as well as tagging; and
3) Syncing, the most popular and effective way these days being through Google.
I can see plenty of pretty apps that have one or two of the above features, but not all 3, and those 3 features are just the basics, even in relation to the free version of NNW which I'm currently using (by the way, what a shame Vienna doesn't sync with Google Reader).
There are certainly better alternatives out there for the iPhone and as with a lot of people, I had a rough time last year failing to sync NNW properly but, as someone who somehow kept with it (luckily the syncing now seems ok for me), who spends most of my time reading, not posting feeds, Netnewswire on a Mac still fits my needs as a stand alone product and compares favourably to the competition out there. In that regard, it is inevitable that in this day and age, many will demand new features, like posting to Twitter, etc, and for the GUI to look more like a shiny, pretty iPad app. I'm certainly willing to try the alternatives, but until any of the competing products contain the above 3 basics, it'll continue to be the seemingly uncool but currently effective Netnewswire for me.

Today 3.2.3 does the same repeated crashing on a MacPro/SL.
Seems to be trying to reload all the subscriptions all over again.
I can go back and run version 3.2.1 fine still.

The two folders completely vanished from NetNesWire even though they were present on Google Reader but they were empty. :-(
I'm not happy guy right now, but I know this is a Beta update so...
Maybe I should not have synced with the popup window that appeared on the first run of this Beta release. I should have pressed "Cancel" and then go the "Preferences>Syncing" and press "Merge Subscriptions". But I don´t know if that was the problem.
