iPhone app Feeds handily synchronizes with Google Reader

I still prefer Byline, I think. The price is well worth it.

You go on to say it gets a front page view, but have offered no info on why it would replace nnw... care to elaborate?

When you compare reading your posts with the built in reader in Safari, Byline and Doppler, Doppler definitely is the winner by far. It is cheaper than Byline ($0.99 is the cost of Doppler) and it is faster and better looking than Greader on Safari.

I still don't know why Byline is so well known, when it is buggy and more expensive than other alternatives.

But Doppler is something you must try if you want the best way to read Greader on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

I tried Byline - and now wish I could get that money back. They STILL don't support folders for goodness sake!!

I tried NetNewsWire. Enjoyed the iPhone client, and the Mac client was pretty good, but the web client was utterly unusable. Not even close to the simplicity and cleanness of Google Reader.

And then finally I stumbled across the nearly perfect Gazette. Why have none of the Apple sites reviewed this? It's been out for a while and, well, it just WORKS! I've emailed the developer about one improvement I would like and am happy to say that he is both principled in his design decisions and open to ideas!

Seriously. If you prefer the Google Reader web view but hate the cache issue, try out Gazette.

I like Google reader web app, it's a simple solution to syncing feeds on multiple machines.

But deep down, I always fear that, what if, Google is down (or that whole internet marked harmful by Google search thing)

Maybe I am thinking too much.

As with some others who have posted here I use NNWire on the iPhone and the client on my Macbook as well. I also prefer the feel of a native app on the Mac as opposed to a web based client.

What I would really really like is a native Google Reader app for my Macbook - does anyone know of one? I cant understand why nothing whatsoever has been released for OS X... does it strike anyone else as odd? If there was a really beautiful app I would def pay for it!

It's a shame they can't use Gears on iPhone.

Hi Jim,

The settings for Feeds can be found in the iPhone or iPod Touch's generic Settings application. Just wait a moment when you launch it, then scroll down to find 3rd party application settings.

Just bought Feeds based on this review. I'm not seeing how to adjust the color themes or access any preferences for that matter. I looked at the developer site and see a reference about a "springboard" but don't see anything in the app. Any advice? Thanks.

@18 You can turn off that setting. See (ahem) Settings.

One big gripe I have with Google Reader Mobile (which to my surprise has not been mentioned leaving me to wonder if there's a setting I have not seen) is when I click on a link in Mobile Safari and return back to Reader, 90% of the time Reader refreshes and I lose my place entirely. I think the cache expires or something, but whatevs, it drives me absolutely crazy! This in itself would cause me to splash on this app.

Having said that, the reviewer does not mention anything about the Mobile Safari integration (if any) so I guess I have to do some research.
