Pretty intuitive interface ... it is excellent and the support is first class. Check it out.
Awasu is at least head and shoulders above all the other news readers out there, which is why I won't recommend any of the others. They just don't come close.
I have downloaded and tested Syndirella, NewzCrawler, AmphetaDesk, FeedReader, Userland Radio, Headline Viewer, WildGrape, and NewsGator. From this field, I would choose Awasu any day.
Awasu Personal Edition is an extremely feature-rich RSS feed reader. 4 stars out of 5.
Awasu kicks butt over NewsGator!
