Gruml

Wow, I only had to use this for a day to have it supplant NetNewsWirte, which I think very highly of. I love the interface of this app, and I especially like how easy it is to send an article to Facebook, Twitter, Instapaper, ReadItLater, StumbleUpon, and Digg, to name a few. The program seems every bit as fast, if not faster, than NNW, and it syncs great with Google Reader. There are still rough edges...this is a beta, but wow, what a great start and great competition for NNW.

It is sad to see this go down. Maybe it will reemerge as a multi use RSS news reader.

I wonder what will happen to Gruml (and other readers that depend on Google Reader) when Google Reader shuts down in July? Is the beginning of the end of the RSS format?

Overall rating should read FIVE STAR. Reluctantly let go of NetNewsWire which has not functioned well since Simmons left. Looked for replacement, found Gruml--excellent! All the best of NNW, easy to configure, pulled in all my subscriptions without error (and there were far too many of them.) I may at some point find something to nitpick about but, after two days of heavy use, not yet.

Crashes when coose deafault RSS reader under Preferences. Version Version 1.2 (1.2.0.565), Mac OS X 8.0.1

I like Gruml a lot, but it seems to lock up when left running for more than an hour or so at a time. I know it's a beta, but this is a pain. I am on Mountain Lion 8.0.1 on a MacBook Pro.

Great app. Must have on Mac OS X 10.8 due drop RSS support in Mail.app and Safari 6.

Very good!

Elegant and basically easy, and FREE. Quite a value. Does lots of things more easily than Google reader, most notably adjust type size for various screen resolutions. Shows authors. Has it's own tabbed browser. Two things I wish for [1] a way to choose to actually hide articles when read, so only the unread remain in the cue, and [2] a way to make such suggestions to the developer.

All of a sudden, I can't post articles to Pocket/Read It Later. I've restarted everything, checked all the preferences, and searched for other people with the same problem. No explanation or solution. I'm using Lion, OS X 10.7.4.

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.
