NewsBar RSS reader App Reviews

The iCloud integration is the strong point of NewsBar. I use Mac, iPhone, and iPad. After Google Reader went away, NewsBar was (and is) the right answer for me because it lets me sync the newsfeeds on my devices using a service I already have.

Great app that looks great and the support is top of the line!

I absolutely love this RSS reader but, for me, the lack of Pocket support forces me to withhold the 5 star rating. I’m sure they will add it with an update soon. Then I will revise my review.

I love this app. Great app on the iPhone and I love that there is a companion app on my MacBook. The syncing both apps together is a great feature.

Some problems sync between devices and problems rolling text on some displays. Needs better integration with selective copy command instead of mailing whole text.

Have this for both iOS and OS X and it is a great, non-intrusive RSS manager. Only gripe? It takes up an inexplicable 1.2G of iCloud storage. Whaaaa?

This is a fantastic app! I highly recommend it. Just seeing a small bug - quite a few crashes after the last update when tapping to open the full article.

Syncs perfectly with Pocket and Feedly to bring everything to one place!

Use on Mac, tablet and phone. Still miss Google Reader, but this is an arguably more human approach.

Sync takes forever and often doesn’t sync properly to the Mac client. Very let down.

Stop asking for a rating! Its annoying.

Using this only because I use the osx app and couldnt figure out a way to sync that ones read/unread with my ios feedly (which is an indication of how newsbar has all these little things missing that shouldnt be). Feedly is much nicer. This ios reader feels clunky and hard to navigate, with very little custom features. Takes forever to load and refresh. Doesnt seem to have the attention to design and ease of use that other rss readers have. For example, there is no way to mark an individual item unread. Rather than being able to swipe the item in the sidebar to "unread", you have to tap the upper right icon for printing and sharing and find the Mark Unread icon there. But then you tap this icon, and then when you try to leave that item and tap to another item, the first item gets marked as read again. The only options with the sidebar are to mark all read or unread; no individual control. I give this example in detail just to give a sense of how the interface is annoying in general and not easy to use at all. It also misreads swipes--I will be reading an article, and swipe up to move the page down, and it will misread it as swiping left or right and take me to another article. If the laptop app would let me sync to ios feedly, I would much much rather use that than this app. Poor design. annoying also because I had to pay extra for this ios app once I had already paid for the osx app, and its a bad app. The osx app also isnt that great. I kind of regret the whole move to newsbar but now feel stuck until I find something better.

I love the way it syncs with the Mac version and it looks clean on iPhone / iPad / Mac... Definitely streamlining how I find my news.

My iCloud sync has stopped working, rendering the products main feature useless. I just hope it gets fixed soon.

great for rss feeds. even with foreign newspapers. my wife and I both use it.

Cant add new feeds via "+", Safari, or import OPML (xml). Using "+" causes app to crash. Waste of $2.99.

Current version has trouble displaying the headline and preview while in portrait mode. It is scrunched up on top itself as though it is in a landscape mode, but is unreadable..

This used to be my favorite rss reader. The recent update, however, introduced a bevy of bugs, from display/formatting issues to frequent crashes (brought about by something as simple as changing a setting or tapping a headline). Really disappointed. Feedly app is looking pretty good at this point, and gives me everything I need.

Still my favorite RSS reader on Mac and iPhone, but please add support for iPhone 6 plus

Please add iPhone 6 Plus support
