NetNewsWire and NewsGator’s other client products are now free. Well, almost free. You’ll have to give up some attention data, but that’s not so bad is it?
I had a minor hiccup upgrading to the 3.1 version. This was because I had been using NewNewsWire Lite version. When I tried to launch NetNewsWire 3.1, it failed (crash report details below).
Update from the comments: Brent is on the case and has posted a new build to fix this first-run issue. See his comment below for more information and the link. Thanks for the quick response Brent!
If you encounter the same problem, this is what worked for me: Move the ~Library/Preferences/com.ranchero.NetNewsWire.plist file to the desktop. After doing this, NetNewsWire should launch without issue and the preferences file will be recreated. If this works, you can trash the old file that was moved to the desktop.
