I've been looking for an RSS aggregator for my new Dash, and I was wondering if anyone has anything they are already using and can recommend. I've gone through what's on handango, and I can't say that I've been impressed much with what they have to offer. Any comments on strength's/weaknesses would be very much appreciated!
thanks much.

I ended up going with Ilium Software's Newsbreak (http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/nw/newsbreak.htm). Sure, it costs money, but it's hardly disappoints when it comes to features. The ability to import OPML files is really nice. I've been using it for the last day, and I'm really impressed with it so far.

I am using it as well and I like it, good luck.

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with this...
Can anybody recommend a decent, free RSS reader for WM6? I have an HTC 620, previously with WM5 and used Avantgo, which worked admirably. I have now upgraded to WM6 and can't seem to find a decent RSS Reader which aggregates full articles / text, as Avantgo does not supprt WM6.
I have tried various including NewsMix, SplashNews and Viigo, but they all either seem to download just the first few lines of each article with a 'read more' section that then connects to the internet (setting sof 'NO limit' on article size doesn't make any difference), or connect to the internet automatically when I would like to manually connect, using my home Wi-Fi, to update the feeds and then disconnect the Wi-Fi and know that all of the full articles are stored on my device, so I don't have to use my data connection again.
Ideally, I would like to use the RSS section of Yahoo Go 2.0 which is installed on my S620, but this seems to update the news feeds automatically, when I would like to do this manually.
If anyone can help, it really will be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Munkee

I have been using Newsbreak for a while now and think this is the best rss reader. With Newsbreak not the entire article is downloaded and you have to connect ot get the entire document however at least you get most of it and if the story is worthwhile then connecting for a few seconds is worth it.
Try it and download a trial version from Handago.com

i agree, newsbreak is the best. you can even set up filters so you get only the articles you want.

I have bought SPBInsigt and I am satisfied with functionalities in this application.

Thanks for all the replies guys.
Newsbreak sounds like a good one, but I really need something that has full RSS articles and not just the first section, as I tend to use RSS Feeds which I have manually added and so like to read full articles.
SPB Insight sounds like it's the sort of thing I am after, but it's a commercial product. Not that I am tight or anything, but i would have thought that what I am after would be freely available somewhere. Oh well, guess i wil give the trial a go.
If anyone else has any more good recommendations, they will be very much approeciated.
Thanks,
Munkee

I use BeyondPod (http://www.beyondpod.mobi/). It's a free, open source feed reader and podcatcher. It requires Microsoft .NET CF 2.

The >absolute< best is Newsgator Go! It syncs with your other Newsgator services, like the free web-based newsreader or their desktop client. At $29.95, I feel it's a bit overpriced, but once you get used to having the status of your RSS subscriptions updated regardless of where you access them, including your phone, you might find it's worth it. Also, if you subscribe to MoDaCo Plus, you get a >ton< of free stuff included in the subscription -- Newsgator Go! is one of the software products you get, along with Papyrus, Resco File Explorer, and a bunch of others.

Has anyone seen an RSS reader which installs a url plugin? E.g. if you click on an RSS xml link in pocket explorer it automatically opens up your RSS reader and offers the option to subscribe to the feed? I'm interested in any ways of launching apps from within pocket explorer actually? e.g. I'd like to launch google maps and display a location marker from pocket IE.

I've tried SPB Insight ... but it works quite slow (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/insight/?en)
Lately I use Egress ... it really does the trick :) (http://garishkernels.net/egress.shtml)
P.S. Both are commercial ... you didn't mention free

I think the easiest, fastest, and nicest one I've found, is actually GOogle Reader.
Go to reader.google.com on your phone.

I use Egress as well. While I don't think it's the prettiest, and it sometimes has trouble if you're in an area with spotty connectivity, it seems to be the most ergonomic for browsing through lots of feeds. The latest version also supports synching Newsgator read/unread status.
Not free though.

do you guys have a clue on why both egrees and Insight crash on update?
I've imported my google reader's OPML file
do they need to be installed on device and not on Storage card maybe?
I'm using an Elf with Shadow 2.1 rom
cheers!

With Sleuth's WM 6.1 ROM, I had to change my Egress Auto Update settings to "when network available". It would crash when I had it set to automatically open a connection.
It's under menu, options, retrieval.
Hope that helps.

i think google reader works best because it is web based...although u do need a google account to use the service.

The one built into Opera Mini is quite good. One particular feature I like is that it will resize pictures to fit Dash's screen before downloading them - both save bandwidth and make it easier to read.

I currently use avantgo. It's a no frills rss reader that stores the COMPLETE news article w/o having to connect to the internet to fetch it. It's free and pretty to use. And it uses very little memory ;). After you sign up for an account and set up your RSS feeds log in on your mobile phone and click on the link "Get Faster Avantgo" near the bottom of the page. Voila!

Since this old thread got dug up, I would second BeyondPod...
The scheduling and interface are great.
