iPhone version adds tons of ads – every feed starts with RELLY BIG ad. From the best RSS client suddenly it has become completely useless app. Avoid it and use some other client.

In reply to filthylucre. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Still no update to the NNW iPhone app, so I switched to Byline. It's so-so… kinda slow. It's a shame NewsGator couldn't hold it together. NNW was a great desktop/iphone combo.

In reply to Lesley. OK, thought I hadn't seen one mentioned. Will be interesting to see what you / others think when they have both desktop and iPhone apps available.

In reply to patrickj. Not yet, but they are working on one that will sync data with your Mac(s).

In reply to Lesley. I'd seen this one mentioned recently at Gear Diary - looks interesting, but does it also have an iPhone app?

If you're not a big user of groups in Twitter and don't mind paying for a desktop app, you might like Eventbox (Mac only). http://thecosmicmachine.com/ It currently syncs with Google Reader, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Digg, plus a few other services, and the developer plans to add more. Technically there is a way to set up groups in Eventbox, but it's extremely cumbersome. I believe the developer is working on making that easier. The two reasons I'm not using it are that I do use groups in Twitter and prefer multi-column support. It is slick, though, and the number of services it supports is appealing.

In reply to Shobizz3000. Nope. Just that quote that's in the post - saying they are working as quickly as they can on Version 2.0 for iPhone.

I'm using the byline app right now…which is pretty decent i guess. Any word on a release date for this?
