I use both GReader and FD. FD is absolutely the best between the desktop feed client.

Also, try GreatNews. It’s been around for some time.

Google Reader rocks!
I personally use the iPhone version of the reader, since it is uncluttered, beautiful and the images don’t get loaded unless I open the item.

Kaushik: I did but only in one sentence
Rarst: This is really a great app. Love the speed.
JoJo: I kept Google Reader open all the time as I do with my desktop readers. What I did not like was that I was logged in all other Google Services as well, e.g. search. Then there are security concerns which might be unfounded but since I run Google Adsense and Gmail as well I did not want to take any risks.

Last reason, I could display both the web browser and the desktop feed reader next to each other instead of switching tabs.

@Jojo

Why are you using a browser based again, instead of desktop reader? :)

@Martin

Glad you liked it, I was very impressed with app myself so that I ended up that more than positive review. :)

@Kaushik

Actually sync is mentioned in the post. Third paragraph.

You failed to metion one important feature – integration with the online Newsgator feed reader. So you get all the advantage of an online feed reader on the desktop.

I have been using FeedDemon since it became free. It’s the best feed reader I have ever used.
