## NetNewsWire Reviews in Australia

### ***** "Great app. Used for years, but Dark Mode icon please!"
This app hasn’t been updated in a while, and that’s okay because it’s basically perfect. However I’d love a dark mode icon please!
-- Alexx0005, 2024-11-03

### ***** "Truly awesome"
I really support you guys and everything that you are for it’s clear this is a product of love and I throughly enjoy using it. Thank you so much.
-- Tanq_man, 2024-09-18

### ****- "Nice clean app"
Really nice clean app, 4 stars only because you have to restart the app for feed renaming to show.
-- triks_melb, 2023-10-14

### ***** "Finally, an clean-looking app that just works"
It's certainly the modern rage to have an app look exactly as it was planned on paper, but that often ends up bogging down us users with an unusable UI, a huge app download, and other eye-rolling triggers.

My goodness, what an absolute pleasure this app is to use. I just... want... to read... news. And that's what it lets you do... for free!

Thank you, thank you, THANK you.
-- strongpeopleshowlove, 2023-09-30

### ***** "Great app… definitely 5 stars"
Two years ago, I wrote this as my review:

“It’s good, but the lack of iCloud sync really holds it back. With all the tracking and personal data going who knows where, I just don’t feel comfortable using any third party sync service other than iCloud. If the added it I’d be all in. For now, I’m back to a different RSS reader that does support iCloud sync.”

Today I realised I’d written it as I had completely forgotten I did. I should’ve updated this. They added iCloud sync a while ago and NetNewsWire has been on my Home Screen since then and it’s one of my most used apps. I love it.
-- Slartibartfastwashere, 2023-06-29

### ***** "Works great"
This program works well, is very stable on my iPhone 8, fast and is free and ad free - fantastic.  

Quirky themes, one reminiscent of the teletext terminals of yesteryear. Love it
-- devorn1, 2023-02-06

### ***** "An excellent, lightweight alternative to Feedly et al."
Wonderfully designed specifically for macOS and iOS only, this app is a wonderful, clean, fast, and completely free alternative to Feedly and the other subscription-filled RSS readers out there. It may lack a few features compared to some of those competitors, but it makes up for it with its exceptional execution of its singular focus.

The only thing I really miss is image thumbnails for articles. If they add that in the future, NetNewsWire will be the ultimate RSS app for me.
-- OscarRobin, 2022-10-23

### ***** "Great app - just one request"
I love the functional simplicity of this app. One thing I'd like to see added in the future is a text size slider
-- ve0003, 2022-10-10

### ****- "Free and no ads!"
One improvement would be iCloud sync of feeds, NSPersistentCloudKitContainer springs to mind.
-- Nick Garfitt, 2020-06-05

### ****- "Doesn’t have iCloud syncing?"
As title, it doesn’t have iCloud syncing function and it operates on Mac OS and iOS??? Hope developers can add it NOW! Other than this. It is the best RSS reader ever
-- iPhoneiPadMacMaciPadiPhone, 2020-03-30

### ***** "Amazing"
So simple. So elegant. So perfect. This is my new go to RSS reader, even though I have paid ones to use. Clean and easy to use
-- Bigkev64, 2020-03-10

### ***** "Great iOS app"
This is the rss reader you’ve been waiting for. Super clean, very native to iOS, everything you want and nothing you don’t.
-- PeterPetrovski, 2020-03-09

### ***** "A First-Class iOS App"
Long-standing macOS app NetNewsWire makes its way across to iOS without losing the essence of what a good RSS reader should be. It’s super fast, intuitive and behaves exactly the way you expect, as though you’ve been using it for years — a sure sign of a well-written, well-designed piece of software. Backed by an incredible team of developers as well. Highly recommended.
