I'm not sure if I just misunderstand how the iPhone app works or if it's just not working I would expect the iphone App to sync with Newsgator, and Netnewsire to also sync with Newsgator, and it seems they do individually, however, the iPhone app and Netnewswire is not matching, the iPhone app being the oddball. Right now it says I have 66 unread. Netnewswire says 6, which is correct. Is something going wrong here?
thanks!

| It's possible that one or both of the apps aren't syncing often enough. One of the keys is to know that they sync when you refresh your feeds -- they also sync read/unread status at that time. So, sometimes, all that's needed is to make sure you've refreshed recently.

| Another thing to check, of course, is to make sure you're using the same account in both places.

Yeah, no amount of syncing or refreshing fixes this problem And I'm using the same account for both. I've narrowed the problem down a little further:
If I read something on the iPhone, then sync it, the sync NNW on my Mac, everything works. If I read something on the Mac, sync it, the sync the iPhone, it does not sync properly. The iPhone will still have things marked as unread.

| I'm seeing the same glitch. NetNewsWire on the iPhone doesn't seem to pull updates on read status from the newsgator account. Things that I read on my NetNewsWire Mac client are marked as read on newsgator.com but the iPhone app doesn't see the change, even if I manually refresh it.

glad I'm not the only one. This pretty much renders this application useless for me. I really hope it gets acknowledged and fixed.

I have noticed exactly the same behaviour... when I'm working on 3G. I have noticed two distinct differences between how NNW works when I'm on WiFi and how it works when I am not on Wi-Fi:
1) On WiFi, the read/unread status seems to properly sync with newsgator online just like it does with my desktop. On 3G/EDGE, it seems to download new headlines, but never seems to tell the central server about articles I've read on the iPhone.
2) On WiFi, syncing is very quick -- It seems even quicker than NNW on my Mac, if that's possible. On 3G/EDGE, syncing takes forever -- or at least several minutes in some cases, and many seconds in the very best case.
I can't believe they'd knowingly release a product with this behaviour, so I can only presume that there is some incompatibility between their syncing protocol and my cell provider's (Rogers') data network.

I too am seeing this problem. I have tried to simplify things by subscribing to all feeds on all locations. I have tried 'Sync News Item Status' menu option as well.
This is a pretty bad problem - if I can't sync these two views of my feeds then I wil have to choose to give up using either NetNewsWire on the Mac or the iPhone - a difficult and unwelcome choice!
I t would be good to hear some acknowledgement of this problem from the good folk at NewsGator....?

| We're looking into it. I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, but I'm not giving up.

| Same problem. I had about 2000 posts unread and read them all, but my iPhone still thinks they're unread. Pressing the Sync button a couple of times or waiting (it's been a few days now) doesn't help either.
