I have the same problem and I just downloaded and installed the NNW app.
Exactly how accurate is NewsGator and NNW(on mac) supposed to be?
I have 640 unread in NNW, 658 in NewsGator Online, and 310 unread on the iPhone.
Is the 18 difference pretty normal? I know the iPhone is way off.

Hi,
I am having the same problem, with a few caveats.
I use Newsgator Online at home (Vista Home) and work and use NNW on my iPhone 3G. My Newsgator Online account and NNW never show the same number of unread articles, often 100's unreunreaddiscrepancy.
I will say this, when I delete a feed, and sync, that is almost instantaneous, and some feeds seem to work better than others....Like my Twins (as in the baseball team) feed is always up to date...but my NYT Technology feed keeps downloading the same HR Block and Turbo Tax articles over and over again.
Hope this gets fixed, I love the tool on my iPhone and really enjoy Newsgator Online at work and at home.
Dano

Brent Simmons (8/19/2008)
We're looking into it. I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, but I'm not giving up.
Hey Brent,
I'm seeing these sync problems too, between an iPod Touch, Newsgator, and NNW Mac. I'd be happy to try and help work out a solid, reproducible, test case for this. If the worst comes to the worst, I also know which end of Wireshark is which...

| I want to add support for the view that this is a bug, not a feature. I have feeds with unread posts at the website, but they do not show up on the iPhone. I also changed the NNW settings on the iphone to make them more generous (shall we say), but it does not help.

I'm reading feeds using the web edition (I'm on Ubuntu ;-) and also NetNewsWire on the iPhone.
Got up to date with all my feeds last night using Wifi at home.
Back in the office today and on the browser, and the feeds read / unread status has not been updated, apparently. Unless of course everyone in my list of feeds has decided to write many posts in one day! ;-)
Any ideas guys? Progress?
Happy to be Tester / helper / send bugs etc if it helps.

I had this same problem. Everything was working fine, but over time NetNewsWire on my iPhone got slowly out of sync with the one on my Mac (and online). Here's what I did. First, I uninstalled NetNewsWire on my iPhone. Then I went on newsgator.com, hit Settings->Edit Locations->[iPhone location "Feeds"]->Uncheck all->Update. Then enter your Newsgator credentials on your iPhone, open NetNewsWire, and sync for the first time. Then go back to newsgator.com and re-check all feeds you want showing up on your iPhone and click Update. Finally, go back and do another sync on your iPhone.
I don't know if it will last, but my iPhone is now in sync with my Mac.

All three, iphone, newsgator read status are out of sync. and mac are out of sync:
E.G. for one feed it is, 236/149/376, in the order of feed amalgamators in the line above
I notice the Newsgator fails to update my folder structure since I altered them on the mac.
The iphone doesn't show all the feeds in each directory either.
Good luck, thanks for the most promising and useful combination. Your work is appreciated.

I followed the post above, and unchecked the feeds for the iphone location on Newsgator. I didn't remove the app on the iphone. Refreshed to remove all feeds there.
I deleted all folders and feeds from the Newsgator account. Then next, performed a 'Starting Over' in preferences from the mac client, with 'Replace subscriptions on Newsgator'. The Feeds on Newsgator still do not reflect the mac client : they show a lower read status (1950 in Newsgator Total/4848 in Mac Client). Perhaps that's a clue.
More info: I have 'Save News Items as HTML files on Disk' checked in preferences; And, 'Keep news items For at least 7 days' checked. But as the issue is with 'Unread Status, I don't see how this affects things.
The iphone feeds were automatically reinstated with the start over. The iphone, when synced again, was now faithful to the 'Unread' status of Newsgator, in one test feed, but not total Unread count.
One strange peculiarity too: although this was a start over, the folders on Newsgator were added faithfully, one feed insists and remaining out of the folder I have on my client. Now, I had only moved that into a folder about one hour earlier, and so it is reflecting the position of before I did the 'start over again' routine!!
One More Test:
A) Sync Change of Status to Read On the Mac client: I marked all the posts (for BBC News) on one feed as read. Then synced again. The Newsgator reflected the change faithfully. Then I synced agin with the iphone, which also reflected this satus change for BBC News to 'All Read'.
B) Total Unread status counts But I still have Unread for Mac Client + Newsgator + iphone as different: i.e. 4188: 1922: 822 Th
C) older Unread posts Mac/newsgator : I checked the earliest Unread Post in one feed on the Mac Client and compared it to the same feed on the iphone (378 compared to 75 Unread): Result - 23rd May compared to 31st May. So, the Mac client is keeping older Unread posts, which aren't reflected on Newsgator/iphone..
D) Earlier Unread posts iPhone/Newsgator : The iphone isn't showing feeds that have posts, for example 'Shmooed Food', Unread but latest post was in May 8th 2009. Again, Soup can help you lose weight the last post dated May-27-2009 in the feed 'Latest entries from ashy-macbean.blog-city.com' is in my Mac client, and on the Newsgator.
E)A time/sync discrepancy with Apple and Newsgator: For instance one feed shows posts on iphone as far back as May-20-2009 but not May 18th. Interestingly, the date for the May 20th post on the iphone is given as May 21st 2009 1:55:00 Am , which is at variance with the Newsgator item for the same post which is Silver Fir(Abies alba) May-20-2009 6:55:00 PM (the feed is White Lotus Aromatics Blog: http://blog.whitelotusaromatics.com/feeds/posts/default). So there is a weird time problem here. The Mac client shows the same time and date as the iphone.
(F) The peculiar feed outside its folder remains on Newsgator (and doesn't show in iphone at all in or out of folder). I manually placed it in the folder on Newsgator, then synced the iphone again: and i can't tell you anything, there are no unread posts in it!
Phew! That was some investigation! Hope it helps.

The main issue -- perhaps the only issue -- is that each reader (online, iPhone, Mac) keeps items for a different length of time, which results in different unread counts.
The plan is to fix this in the future, so that unread counts would match. However, you'd still be in a situation where they don't match if, for instance, you tell the Mac version to keep items after they've been fallen off the feed.
