The Bottom Line

NewsMac Pro is a well-organized and easy to use news reader. It's a pity the smart folders offered by NewsMac Pro can only aggregate feeds and not individual news items.
NewsMac Pro is no longer available.

Guide Review - NewsMac Pro 1.2.5 - RSS News Feed Reader

NewsMac Pro makes you keep things organized. Greeted with a handsome and flexible interface, you can browse and read the latest news — NewsMac Pro comes with a nice directory of pre-set feeds — in just the manner and style you prefer.

Fast search lets you find items fast and NewsMac Pro can highlight using a keyword filter. Unfortunately, the smart folders you can set up in NewsMac Pro only collect feeds using criteria, not matching items from all your subscriptions.

All feeds you subscribe to in NewsMac can also be read on an iPod or a Palm thanks to NewsMac's smart sync feature, and integration with Bloglines lets you take your NewsMac Pro subscriptions with you, in a way.
