So far, so good

I’m a recent Mac convert from Windows, and, of course, an Office user. I follow close to 100 blogs and was old school, in other words, I used the RSS function in Outlook to get my feeds. Unfortunately, that option is unavailable in Outlook for Mac, so I’ve been looking for a good RSS reader for a while. I purchased the RSS Reader on the APP store, and while the setup was easy, it hangs up all the time. Evidently, it wasn’t tested for having any more than 25 subscriptions.

Setup is even easier on this app. I really like the fact that all I have to do is enter something like “artillery marketing” and it searches and gives me choices. With RSS feeder, you had to get the actual feed url (sometimes easy, sometimes not) and enter the url in.

I haven’t entered all of my feeds yet, but so far so good. Love the interface.

Most of all, I love the ability to immediately send the article somewhere directly from the app. I use Buffer to post things that would be important for my various social networks, and Evernote to stick articles in that I think might have actionable items in them for later review. In RSS Reader, (and by the way, back in Outlook) you have to go to the original article and then use a clipper to do those things.

Only way I’d come back and change the number of stars, is if it can’t handle all of the feeds that I will eventually put in.

Good work! Highly recommended, and well worth the money if you use it!
