NetNewsWire 2.0 for iPhone 

I never had a good experience with syncing between my Mac and iPhone with the previous versions of NetNewsWire. The new versions, though, which now sync through Google Reader, are another story.

I’ve been beta testing the new 2.0 iPhone version of NetNewsWire, and the experience has been wonderful. Huge, huge “it just works” rating — which, for anything regarding the word syncing, is high praise. What IMAP clients are for email, NetNewsWire now is for feeds. I love this app.
