A suggestion to the developers - perhaps somewhere in your app AND on your website it might be nice to provide a way to contact you, or at least report a bug! You have a bug tracker page that is offline.

This app is fantastic with exception to one very annoying bug, if you download via the app it slows to a complete crawl until the download completes.

Why anybody would pay for a crippled, feature barren app like 'Reeder' when this far superior app is free is as confusing to me as the appeal the Khardasian sisters hold for so many people.

Fn awesome!

Can't get three pain vertical layout out of Vienna. Google Reader sync not done there yet. NetNewsWire continues to bounce around like an (apparently buggy) tennis ball between payment models. Apparently people who paid $30 for v3.0 had to pay another $15 for v3.2. Ouch.

Gruml just works out of the box. Some money going Andreas Schwelling's way. Love the simple looks.

Anyone know what's new in 1.1? I can't find any info on the website. And I'm always a little nervous trying out apps that get access to my Google Account info.

Unfortunately, Resume support under Lion means that the app has a habit of quitting when it's in the background and the window isn't open. :/

Very good Google Reader app. Fairly stable, easy to use, and with a robust suite of social network sharing capabilities built in, which NetNewsWire lacks (NNW only supports a handful).

This app could benefit from a feature similar to NetNewsWire's smart folders to sort incoming articles into folders by keywords.

Excellent app and very good reviews below too. Can't agree more about the need to include the option to open items in an external browser. Indeed, if that option becomes available in a future update then I'll know I can safely trash NetNewsWire.

works pretty good.
but missing a major feature, the preference to open articles in default browser instead of in the app.

my bad, Gruml does have a default browser option. it is not obvious. go to Prefs > Advanced > URL Handling.

A very good Google Reader Client! Just have the following suggestion:

1. An Option to disable the sync of recommend items
2. An Option to hide the "Your Staff Column" (Like the new Mail App"
3. Lion Full Screen Support
4. Better Memory management, seems it used up about 200MB RAM

Something wrong with this beta. It keeps looking for articles but doesn't get beyond that.

It is now loading articles but it seems to be a lot slower at this than the last version.

I have tried many other RSS Apps, and Gruml is by far the greatest thing that has happened to mac.

In comparison to netnewswire, it does everything to match, and more!

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I delete a title. No matter what I highlight, the "select all" and "delete" remains grayed out under edit.

MacBook OSX 10.6.3.

I'd recommend that you perform the procedures you've mentioned via Google Reader, that's the path I follow when faced with the issues you've described, works every time, however, the change(s) shall not appear on Gruml unless you quit & restart it, refreshing Gruml doesn't update the feeds and/or its name changes.

Hope I've helped you, please let us know the results.

Thank you Falstaffa. Yes, editing via Google Reader works. I should probably have figured out that myself, but I believe most viewers let you delete titles directly ( I might be wrong). Anyway, its not a deal breaker and I look forwards to exploring Gruml further. Cheers, B

Buligwyf commented on 04 Jun 2010

Woops! I was wrong. Despite having deleted the titles in Google Reader, they remain in Gruml ( at least for the time being ).

Falstaffa had trouble on 22 May 2010

Well, I was expecting a solution to the Flash issues I've described experiencing with Gruml 0.9.18 and 0.9.19, as soon as I received a tweet from Gruml's developer announcing the release of 0.9.20.323 I downloaded it and installed it.

Unfortunately, the Flash issue symptom I described on Gruml 0.9.18 has manifested itself again, in that case the plugin missing/not found image (lego block with question mark) was displayed where a Flash preview should be visible, I took a number of steps to verify whether the problem was at my end or not, after having concluded all such steps I sadly confirmed that the glitch is a Gruml specific one, none of my other Webkit applications displayed the glitch behavior.

I have reverted to Gruml 0.9.17, which as was the case before trying 0.9.18, 0.9.19 & 0.9.20, works perfectly, without any Flash related glitches whatsoever.

Gruml 0.9.19.12 refuses to load any Flash content, this Flash related bug is not the same one I found on Gruml 0.9.18, in that case the plugin missing/not found image (lego block with question mark) was displayed, in the case of 0.9.19.12 nothing shows up when clicking Flash content to play video, I've AGAIN reverted to Gruml 0.9.17, which works without any glitch.

I can't keep version .18 running on any machine, crashes after about 2 mins. Can't really tell what the problem is. I've switched back to the .17. I have about 500 feeds in 15 folders on Google Reader. I'm not sure if that's unusual or not.

Version 19 doesn't fix the problem for me. :( Gruml won't stay running for more than 2 minutes before it crashes.

Gruml 0.9.18 refuses to load any Flash content, I'm reverting to 0.9.17, note to developer, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
