Well, it looks nice and polished. Haven't tried it yet, I will later. If I was looking for such an app I would have considered it, have I known about it.
But: it's an RSS Reader.
Most people have already settled on one by now -- NetNewsWire or Reeder mostly, but there are tons of others out there.
I don't see any great differentiating factor from those two, so any success you can have can only come from:
1) being there first with that app (you weren't)
2) having more visibility (which you don't, ie. less money to spend on ads, less reviews for you app in re: Reeder and NNW, etc).
My suggestions:
1) Check the sore spots of other RSS Readers, especially the market leaders and try to correct some of those. Then post about how you corrected such and such.
2) Add some unique, your-app-only, feature. Or a bunch of them. Post about those again.
3) Engage the community of potential buyers. Setup a forum and ask people what they would like to see in an RSS Reader. Add the best/more popular of the suggestions.
