"NewsFire cannot synchronize with a Google Reader account. NewsFire cannot import a Google Reader export file without manually changing extension from .xml to .opml. NewsFire cannot view web links within the reader. NewsFire is more polished than Google Reader's web interface, but otherwise is inferior. NewsFire's web site and Mac App Store page lack sufficient information to make an informed purchase. I just wasted $5 on a whim."
Why won't the developer tell us what has changed?

I hope more people learn about the problems with the App Store, which I like in principle, and learn to check back here or elsewhere before buying. Especially if some devs make moves to gather some easy money on the App Store. I hope it fires back on the devs in the long term.

I've not had any trouble w/NewFire over the years, I continue to enjoy it and don't care one way or the other if the Newsfire blog is deletable or not -- seems a small "price" to pay for a free app to me --

1. File-->Add Group--> name the group "Lame".
2. Drag the unwanted blog into group "Lame".
3. Right click "Lame", select Remove.
4. Remove Group and Feeds.
Done deal.
As far as the app goes, it's decent. Other than the obnoxious trick of forcing people to view and not delete his blog, it's easy to use and fairly nice looking. I actually bought this app before it went free, but it's not my RSS reader of choice; I use it because the others I've tested seem buggier. NewsFire wins by default.

Screw that. Into the trash, NewsFire -- that behavior is unacceptable, free app or not.
I'd change my review to a 2 if I could.

I've no idea what the reviewers are talking about below - it is easy to delete the developer's blog RSS. There is some kind of vendetta against this developer, so take the negative reviews with a grain of salt.
In any case it's free, so try it and find out.

How?
I can delete editing it first, but when I realunch the application it's back, always!
Please, tell the secret. I also like this interface, sure.

It will not take you long to come to a conclusion. Even a simple search here on macupdate should suffice.

Also, when adding new feeds most of the time it does not download the feeds but one has to manually refresh to get the feeds. Features have also been removed such as being able to remove favicons and choosing different fonts.
Still I think it is a brilliant app but I will give it 3 stars for the evil perpetrated by not being able to banish the developer's blog.

When I replaced my Mac with a new one for last Christmas I tried to activate NewsFire on my new machine which was not possible because I no longer have access to the email address I used for registration back then.
I already had contacted the developer immediately when I had to give up the address in April 2006 - but as I said: ZERO feedback, no chance of re-activation.
What did I pay money for?

Fortunately when I got my macbook pro last week I transferred all information via the Migration Assistant so I do have a temporary solution
I emailed the Dev, and am now waiting for a fix. If I can't use Newsfire I will have to use my mac for work ... and I should have bought a PC if that's all I wanted to do!!!!!

It looks like there was a problem with the way it knows if the email addy is registered - and it works fine. Yeah, the dev has bad press, but I have three registered pieces of software from Dave Watanabe and they mostly work without a hitch

I wasnt going to buy it again just to fix this issue, since who really knows if it would. As i havent heard back from the dev, i ended up switching to vienna.
