The best news aggregation application I used so far.
Used Google reader for many years, after it has been shut down, migrated to Inoreader, but their subscription model was not good for me.
News Explorer has all features I used in Inoreader and even more (incl. Twitter feeds) - and you pay only once for all of them. Applications for both OSX and IOS are beautiful, look native and work perfect. Minor problems are addressed very fast by app maintainers. Plus I like the idea that News Explorer is not a cloud application (I know about iCloud sync and it's ok for me)
