BD,

I know this is a NNW-forum, but would you mind telling us/me if there
are any issues with Reeder? Anything you don't like?

I've basically given up on NNW/iPhone at this point. I'm also affected
by refresh issues (apart from the old and well-known bugs), but it's
pretty much pointless to report these bugs. Given Brent's/NewsGator's
resources it would be foolish to maintain this particular version, and
the new version is nowhere to be seen.

So, is Reeder worth the money?
Thanks.
