Brought my Macbook down with it 2x. You are paying for beta software, so buy at your own risk. Great idea but crashes repeatedly.

I read RSS on my iPhone, MacBook & iMac, keeping everything in sync is a must and thanks to Newsgator this is done perfectly. Times offers no syncing feature. (2.) The ‘unread’ blue dot indicators are a disaster, this just never works properly for me and I end up missing stories. If the developer could fix these two issues I think Times would be the best RSS reader out there.

For one, without any kind of syncing, Times is pretty useless to me. It seems like a nice app for someone who reads only a few feeds but I have hundreds of feeds.

You can choose different RSS feeds to supply the content to the different columns. In the screenshot above I’ve got TUAW in the top, an Apple feed on the right, and I’ve left the space below TUAW clear where another feed would go. When you want to read a story the top page folds down and the story appears on a separate page behind it. At the top are buttons to go different sections, each with a different set of feeds. Finally there’s a “shelf” where you can “save and sort articles for later reading.”While I couldn’t possibily use Times in place of NetNewsWire for the hundreds of feeds I read, nonetheless it is a very slick piece of work. Times is $30 and a demo is available.[via The Apple Blog] [...] [...] Times is a new RSS reader with a snazzy interface designed to look like a newspaper.

Realized while the interface is lickable, it's only clickable. Deleted the app. There's no way to scan through feeds with the keyboard. While the shelf is cool, what I'd love (from any reader) is a Mark for Later option that puts the article into a folder so I can scan through all the headlines then go back and read the interesting stuff.
