Tighter Notification Center Integration

The Holmes' Place
I might be the only one, but I prefer to not have to use another app, in a way of saying. I’d love it if this application should send any RSS articles to the notification center. Therefore allowing me not to really use this application, just let it run in the background feeding my notification center with RSS articles.That said, it’s a nicely built app, very clean and seems to adhere with most of the Apple development and design guidelines, which makes the app feel more native to the operating system. Nice work everyone, though sorry to say that I won’t be using it until tighter notification center integration is added.

OK as a reader but bait and switch on cost

Won't accept my nicknames
I had used Shrook but when we got a new desktop Shrook wouldn't run. After reading up on RSS readers I chose RSS Follower. It is marketed as "free" but what it doesn't make clear is that the free version is limited to 3 feeds. If you want more it's $4.99. The basic function of reading articles works fine but several features are lacking. I've not been able to figure out how to flag articles and the Help function is usseless on that issue. I also have not figured out how to clean up the feed to remove older articles that I'm not interested in. Again, Help is useless. I don't want to sink a ton of time into trying to figure it out or get a different RSS reader so I guess I'll live with the inconvenience.

I would like to apologize for any inconvenience that you might have experienced while using RSS Follower. To flag articles: please open an article, click on the share button, and choose "Flag". To remove old articles: please open RSS Follower preferences in General view and select the necessary period of time, during which you want to keep old articles in Newsbar, under "Keep read articles". It does not affect flagged articles. If you have any further question feel free to contact me directly at support@aperio-lux.com

For me, I didn't need anything fancy or super beautiful. I just needed an RSS reader that can load some details from my feeds, update every minute and just be easy to reach. Short and direct to the point. There are so many RSS reader out there, fancy and luxurious; I didn't need any of those. I needed something to load fast, run fast, update fast and just give me the titles. RSS Follower rescued me from months of searching. I'm using the free version and I'm absolutely happy. Highly Recommended.
