I would not recommend Viigo. I tend to read the end user license agreements. The agreement in summary, if you actually read it, for Viigo, was peppered with phrases like “We will collect and use your personal information every time you download anything, we will sell it to the highest bidder, and use it to both identify you and send ads your way.”
Thanks, but no thanks.

[...] made it’s reputation as an RSS reader for the BlackBerry and had the best set of functionality around. Naturally Viigo began to build on that foundation [...]

Tinkerer you have a couple options for adding RSS feeds to Viigo.
1. On your smartphone within the Viigo channels select “Add Channel” then “Enter URL” and type in the url of the feed.
2. On Viigo.com within the My Viigo section you can select “Add Web Feed” from the right hand callout and type in the url of the RSS feed that you wan to add
3. If you are using one of the aggregators supported by Viigo, Bloglines, My Yahoo! and Google Reader, just add the new RSS feed to that aggregator and the feed will automatically populate in Viigo.
There are probably other ways too, but those seem to be the big 3.

I use Viigo in 9000, and got same problem regarding update issue. even update channels manually, still can’t make it have any move.

also got problem with images showed in the feeds.

therefore I’m looking for alternative as well.

David – I’ve found that channels need to be manually updated on Viigo here in the states as well. I’m not sure if that is an issue with my using a beta version, subscribing to hundreds of feeds or running Viigo on an 8700, but it isn’t necessarily because you are in the Czech Republic.

I don’t have any problems with links or images like you are. Keep in mind that images don’t load until you access a post. That can take some time and if you open a post while offline you will not see the images. Try a channel like BlackBerry Cool, which usually has images as a way to validate whether the issue is our feeds or Viigo. I hope some of that feedback helps.

I found this page when searching an alternative to viigo. I live in czech republic and i’d like to watch some local newspapers and webzines, but viigo doesn’t refresh them automaticly, i have to refresh each feed manually also it does’t show links and images in these feeds, but it might be the feeds fault…

That's correct. I wrote about the addition of Google Reader aggregation when it happened, but didn't update my review. I've updated it.

This may be new, but Viigo does aggregate Google Reader…or at least, you can import your feeds from there, if that’s what you mean. I’m not sure the “read” status syncs or anything.

I have used a bunch of RSS readers and Viigo is the best.
