Reviews
All reviews →Buggy and lacking features
NewsLife is a waste of money when compared to free services like Google Reader. Some feeds seem to have deleted themselves, others have doubled. One folder of feeds refuses to open, I just get the Mac spinning wheel and the app freezes. Some feeds refuse to be marked as read when right clicking. When browsing through a feed using the up and down buttons, suddenly NewsLife changed the feed randomly, even though the current one still had unread articles (i.e. it had not reached the end of the feed). NewsLife doesnt display some basic feed content which shows up easily in Google Reader - I think my Fail Blog subscription was one example. The design is a bit simple too - the app store sets a high standard for design, even simple designs, while NewsLife is basically a green application window with feeds on the left and text in the middle. Take a look at Sparrow or Day One for simple but interesting app designs! For the money, there really isnt enough going for this app. Not enough features, too buggy and not slickly designed enough for the money. Use Google Reader or download another free RSS reader.
NewsLife passt
Zum Lesen der RSS-Feeds ist es ein schönes Programm, es zeigt die News nett und sehr übersichtlich an - das einfügen der Feeds ist auch einfach (direkt im Safari-Browser). Mir persöhnlich fehlt ein Share-button für Twitter und Facebook und es wär cool, wenn die Seiten direkt in der Software geöffnet werden würden und nicht in Safari. Zur Sync mit Google kann ich nichts sagen, da ich es nicht nutze.
Overpriced for its limitations
This a basic RSS browser with some eye candy and not much else: no Google Reader sync, limited sharing capability. It is therefore overpriced for being so basic; there are free apps that offer more, e.g. Cappuccino.
Basic, overpriced RSS reader
As another reviewer points out, this is a very basic RSS reader with some eye candy. Its not bad, but it is overpriced given its limited feature set. NewsLife is a viable alternative to RSS readers that require a Google Reader account, since Reader will soon be discontinued. But other available RSS readers (e.g., NewsRack) are much more versatile and have far more features for a lower price.
