Not to take away from NetNewsWires accomplishments, but getting it was such a disappointment. Adding insult to injury, I had to pay to get the app on my iPad. It was one of the few apps I paid for and all I got was a deep sense of wasted money.

Since the demise of Byline, I’ve been rocking Inoreader and have had no reason to look back.

All I miss is Google Reader, but that’s never coming back.

The only new thing I want in an RSS reader is a handsfree, voice only mode. Being able to listen to RSS articles and navigating by voice commands.

It wasn’t at the time.

Your right! I found this[1] which says it was $10 at launch.

So you paid $10 and helped support indie developers launch what, in time, evolved into an almost universally beloved app.

That should feel pretty good. Your tiny investment helped create something great!

Doesn't Apple offer purchases refunds?
