Editor's review of FeedDemon 2.0

5.0 stars

This well-crafted, standalone newsreader makes an ideal choice for novices who've never heard of an RSS feed. We particularly liked FeedDemon's setup wizard, which allows you to subscribe to an unlimited number of popular RSS feeds by simply checking boxes. The program also provides links to several other RSS directories.

FeedDemon's interface is very good, but its default setting, which places the headline and browser panes side by side, is somewhat clumsy. The utility's Watch Channels feature searches for news items containing user-specified keywords and places them in a separate group so they're easier to find. We're also fond of the app's News Bins function, which allows you to archive a story simply by dragging a headline and placing it in a storage bin in the left-side column.

The online help section is weak, but at least there's a support forum where you can post questions and get answers from other users. Despite our minor design quibbles, FeedDemon is an excellent way for beginners to view their favorite news sources.

"I love it!"

by TatLady on October 23, 2007

Pros: I love this program! It's simple to use and does what it says it does. If you are a feed reader nut like me, this is the program for you. I have tried others before and this one is the best. Nice interface also.

Cons: None.
