Question RSS reader???

Please Login to Remove!

Hello all!
I want a very good RSS reader for my blackberry. I have seen that 'Viigo' and 'Newsgator' are very popular.I have installed them to my Windows Smartphone (i want to test them before install them to my blackberry) and i have noticed that viigo can auto update the feeds every HOUR(minimum).Now about the newsgator it can auto update the feeds every 15 min(minimum) so it is not so bad.I want to know if i can find a RSS reader that can auto update feeds every 2-3 min(even if i must pay for the software)

Thank you very muck for yiur time!

I've looked for something that updates more often, too.

Keep in mind that even when the software updates often (Viigo can actually go down to 30 minutes) that doesn't mean that the software provider's server is updated that often. You see, many of these programs don't go directly to the feed. They go to an intermediary server that picks up feeds. For popular feeds, this might be relatively often (even 15 or so minutes). For less popular ones, this could be only every few hours or less.

This is true for, I know, Viigo. I've had better luck with FreeRange and Newsgator, but they both use this same approach.

That said, all three of these will let you force a "go directly to the feed and update now) on a feed-by-feed basis (on demand, not automatic).

Question

Does the newsCopier goes directly to the feed?
They says that their reader has "Instant access to the news."
NewsCopier :: NewsCopier for BlackBerry :: Overview
Has anyone tried it?

I found bloglines to be more current than Viigo but not as userfriendly. Something to consider.

I just purchased a license of FreeRange so much better than the NewsGator Go version(I know they developed both apps), love the icon feeds, its easier to tell them apart, and tons of control, you can import anywhere, its great, I'm gonna do a review soon on this app and its a memory hog like viigo

You can just update feeds more often.
