Summary
I switched to Netnewswire very recently after Google mistakenly redid the interface for its web reader. I'm very happy to have found Netnewsire. I like it much better than even the web GReader. And the seamless syncing with GReader makes this app a perfect one for my needs. It is a frustration-free experience with plenty of customization possibilities. Highly recommended.

"It doesn't run at all."
Version: NetNewsWire 3.2.15
Pros
Unable to find any pros since this version refuses to run.
Cons
Neither 3.2.14 nor 3.2.15 work at all. However 3.2.13 works quite well.

"Until the latest version would have given it 4 stars"
Version: NetNewsWire 3.2.13
Pros
Nicely aggregates and updates all my feeds, good interface.
Cons
This update is flawed. Hangs, lost growl feed update notifications and consistently breaks my internet connection.
Summary
If you don't already have this wait until the next update.

"I have had it from day one on my iPad"
Version: NetNewsWire 3.2.11
Pros
I like how the items don't disappear immediately after they are read even when they are not flagged.
Cons
I would like to have full screen in the landscape mode available at times.
Summary
I never kept up with RSS feeds until NNW. Now I am constantly up to date. I read how other users now have other readers they like better. I tried them and am not satisfied. I can't figure out why they don't think NNW is the best.

"Great newsreader that syncs with Google"
Version: NetNewsWire 3.2.11
Pros
I have NNW sync my news feeds to Google so that I can check my news on laptop, desktop, iPhone, and iPad (Google Reader).

NNW doesn't work on my MacMini because it keeps prompting me for my Google password and then rejecting it.
