Good, but...

When it’s working, this little application is good. Simple idea, implemented nicely. But it doesn’t handle at least one situation gracefully. When woken up from sleep or in some other situation where it looses its connection to the internet, the lists of “unread articles” goes nuts. As in, articles previously read are marked as unread, seemingly randomly and usually profusely. This makes it impossible to see which articles are genuinely unread from which ones are being falsely reported as unread, so you end up marking them all as unread just to clear the decks.

It’s a relatively minor issue, and sporadic rather than consistent, so while annoying when it happens, it shouldn’t put you off the measley two bucks the application costs. Easily worth it.
