Best app on my computer
I've used NewsBar for many years, both as a PR professional and as a news consumer. No other program keeps me up to speed in as unobtrusive way as this program. It's eliminated the need to receive Google News alerts, and the RSS feeds I monitor plug into it through Feedly so seamlessly. Thank you for making it, and I hope to continue using it for many, many years to come!
United StatesReal Simple Syndication - and App
I have used this for years. Following a clean install of Monterey, I promptly reinstalled a "clean" copy of NewsBar and, in setting it up (again), found new features and appearance that I like better than before. If you're going to "do" RSS, this is the one to use.
United Statesread sync broken
After the update, the iCloud sync with iOS devices got broken. The sync works for starred messages but fails to sync read/undead status. So now I need to manually "mark read" all the feeds on another device.
United StatesI guess it's exactly what it wants to be.
Like lots of RSS consumers, I've played with dozens of readers. This one is definitely non-intrusive. So much so that I usually completely forget about it. I just don't have that much unused screen real estate so that I can have a bar locked to one side without having other windows over it (and I have three monitors). It's not the app's fault at all. Just doesn't really work for me. 4 stars for executing fairly well on their intended design?
United StatesThe Best RSS Sidebar Yet
This is by far the best RSS sidebar to date. Easily the most customizable... However I wish they'd include a "frosted glass" option in regards to transparency, like Newsflow used to have (before it stopped working). If they added that element, this would be a one-horse race.
United StatesCrashing a lot
Been using it for several months and really like it but recently its been crashing a lot.
United StatesFix this app, please
Newsbar is great for what it is. However, it would be a much better program if I didn't have to play "babysitter" across multiple apple devices. I use iCloud for multiple cross-functional programs and Newsbar is the only program I have issues with. That is, if I view/read a Newsbar article on one device, then that action should be represented across all iCloud connected devices. Sometimes it works great while other times it does not. Please fix this. Thanks!
