Simply the best!!
Updating my review: This is my fav Mac RSS app. Simple sidebar. But with this update, iPhone and iPad now have dark mode and work properly. It syncs with my Mac. The keyword setup is the best I’ve seen. One small suggestion: Please allow it to have multitasking in iOS (ie, shrink so I can place a second app on the screen). This would allow me to use Safari easily instead of the built in app. Currently, using safari as your reader takes you completely out of the app.
United StatesBeen hacked or something
Same as other users. Spam notifications coming through, the OSX app is fine the iOS app is compromised. Needs a fix in a big way. Had to delete.
United StatesThe app is compromised
I have been using this app for some time now. Recently, my Notification Center is being bombarded with porn spam messages. I manually check all my feeds on a computer and they are clean. I have tried reaching out to the developer and no response; the developer is MIA. I’m going to park this app for an updated one. This review is intended to warn others that the app is outdated and may have been compromised.
United StatesNew problems
As someone else is complaining, I find myself rereading on different devices. I don’t recall that happening before. More distressingly, I’m getting push notifications (but no actual news items) from NewsBar on my iPhone, claiming to be ads from local prostitutes.
United StatesWould be amazing if kept up-to-date
The Good: • Syncs with Mac app really well • Simple and effect rss reader • I love his implementation of keywords The Bad: • Not kept up to date • No dark mode • Doesn’t use full ipad screen • Doesn’t do multitasking with other apps The Real Bad: • Developer not responsive This app allows you to get around all the “pay” services for rss and has simple sync with Mac OS X. I hope the developer updates the app or sells it to someone else for development because if has so much potential. I’d pay for 2.0 version if it hall the things addressed above without going to a subscription model.
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!
United StatesCan't log in to Twitter. No support, either...
Love the Mac app, but this one is a disappointment. Not only is Twitter login non-functional, but email to support has gone unanswered for days.
