Still adware. Interesting approaches but not a choice for me.

You can buy a license and remove the ads for $10 and it's good on multiple machines. Pretty good deal for a great product.

$10 are fair, but I need a good reason. I am willing to spend money for great products, but I somehow fail to see the $10 worth here. So far. Maybe I should give it more time...

Wow, you drive a hard bargain. $10 for a multi-computer license for one of the best RSS readers available and that's still too much for you? You don't want ads but you don't want to pay either. How do you expect developers to make a living?

You misunderstood me. I might pay if I think the dev deserves it. (I even did so with Vim, for example.) But begging me to do so is not a good way, especially with annoying ad-ware. I can't say much about the quality yet, but this is a big con for me. So far.

It's not a very big ad or obtrusive at that. I understand that some have principled objections to adware of any kind, but I just don't see the big whoop here.
On the subject of the app itself, I do wish it would stop erasing my customizations with every upgrade. I also wish there were an easier way to customize the viewing settings than going in and manually altering the CSS (and then having to hunt for the correct line).
Still, it's my app of choice for feeds (at the very least until Google Reader can use authenticated feeds) .
