NewsFlow is from the same developer as TwimGo. It's still in beta stages and lacking some key features but looks great. Anyone else using/used it yet?

Good to know, I really miss a good Google Reader client with offline support. I have tested all the RSS readers around here and still haven't found what I'm looking for.

I'm trying it atm. I don't normally use Google Reader, but I've added a couple of subscriptions just to try NewsFlow. So far I like it, as it has a clean and simple interface. A couple of negatives:
1. The feed url often obstructs the feed description in lists. I think the feed url is superfluous.
2. I have found that the content of some articles will not fit into the display area (horizontally), and horizontal scrolling is not enabled.

Nice transitions and view, but unfortunately it doesnt support inline images.
Therfore I will still continue to use grr on N900

Tried it, nice execution, lovely UI. However, images, save to read later and offline sync are a must for me (I read the news on my way to work), so I'll keep FeedingIT for now.
However, I think has a lot of potential...adding an Instapaper OR a Evernote plugin...that'd be a killer!

I've started using NewsFlow a few days ago. Looks pretty and smooth, and serves my purpose just fine (I don't need offline reading).
The only glitch I've found so far is that sometimes after closing it the process remains active (and taking quite a bit of RAM), so I have to kill it manually.
Now instead of closing it using it's own "turn off" button, I kill it from the task manager..
