If it takes only 50 milliseconds for users to form an aesthetic opinion of your site’s credibility and trustworthiness, are designers who create visually compelling sites simply wasting time and treasure on graphic indulgences? Patrick Lynch doesn't think so.

NetNewsWire 'cause it syncs well with the Mac desktop version (via the web version). Guess I'll give Google Reader and byline a bit of thought, though.
- Grey Drane
byline is a native app that syncs with google reader- I've tried most of them including netnewswire- and they all fall short. Byline is far and away my most used app.
- robin k
@robin - could you quickly compare netnewswire to byline? What does Byline do that NNW doesn't? Thx!
- Grey Drane
you can't view starred (or clipped) items on the mobile version and it's a lot buggier. On NNW- I've had issues with syncing.
- robin k
OK. Yeah, I haven't really been bothered about the lack of clipped items on the iPhone (usually I clip the stuff I want to read more carefully -- and ofter research some more -- on the computer), and I think they've actually fixed (most of?) the syncing problems, but I haven't used Google Reader in a long time, so maybe it's time to reevaluate it, too. Thx!
- Grey Drane
One thing I might miss about NNW is being able to read just a specific feed, rather than having to scroll through the whole folder of feeds. But I'm still deciding.... (Or am I missing something in Byline?)
- Grey Drane
You're right- it could be an issue depending on how you setup your folders... Mine are pretty specific to the category so it's rare that it ever comes up for me. The beauty is in that you have the fallback of the google reader safari app- so if you ever feel like just viewing a specific feed, you can revert to that.
- robin k
Yeah, that's why I say I'm still thinking about it. I may find a better way to organize my feeds and may even get rid of some feeds that don't give me enough good stuff to read.

Byline is the best RSS reader for the iPhone that I've found. Works perfectly with Google Reader.
- Chris Rodgers
I've bought byline. it's so cool! really worth to buy!

Byline. Main difference from Reader is that it downloads and feeds for reading offline. Spent a lot of time on my last flight catching up on rss feeds!
- Mike Chang
but its reading experience is much much better plus fewer crash than safari when loading a chunk of picture and texts
- foxmachia {山石}
The biggest issue with using safari for me- is when I launch a link in a new window, then return to a blank page. Byline's built in browser doesn't have this issue- as you can always go to the next unread, from within its browser.
- robin k
mostly use Twinkle (Twitter client) and FriendFeed's iPhone site for staying up-to-date.
- Jon Price
So with byline, how do you sync it back to your google reader if you star some items. I can't figure out how to do that?
- Amani
Byline, it's nice looking and easy to use. @Amani: press that reload button at bottom left
- Kristian Salonen
@Kristian - Voila ... it works. Thanks. So simple.
- Amani
NetNewsWire. I like how it syncs online so I can read on my iPhone and my PC and not repeat news.
- J Craig
I've been using Byline since hearing all the good things about it in this discussion, and its reading experience is certainly pretty good, but syncing and, particularly, archiving is so unbelievably, annoyingly slow. What's up with that?! I mean, I generally sync over Wi-Fi, but even then it can take minutes just to archive one article.
- Grey Drane
A combination of Google Reader (Safari) and Byline. Syncing with my online Google Reader account is a major plus. I agree with @grey that syncing is sloooow ... but the reading experience compensates that issue.
- Peter van Teeseling
Anybody know how to solve the sync problems with byline, sometimes looks to works fine but later you reopen the program and find an old sync status. any idea?
