The best of all newsreaders - Version: 1.8.2, 12/4/2005 08:32AM PST

This version brings a solution to speed problems ans processor use under Tiger. Speed is great now and Newsfan is again the best. I tried a lot of Newsreaders and came every time back to this one.
Well worth the money

This is a great product and I use it extensively. The one real annoyance I have is three relatively trivial (and in most cases very easily fixed) usability matters.
Firstly, the only way I have found to go back through a browsing trail is to right click and choose "Back" from the contextual menu. Every other browser supports the keystroke CMD-Left Arrow, which I (and many other people, I suspect) have bound to one of the thumb buttons on my mouse. Please support this feature in NewsFan as well as it is trivial to do and would enhance use of the product, making the browsing experience more like a normal browser.
Secondly, please provide a way to specify the folder for downloaded files. I am getting fed up with having my Desktop littered with files downloaded using NewsFan.
Thirdly an admittedly VERY trivial item - when right-clicking on a link, please change the top item to read "Open in Browser" rather than "Open in New Window". The first terminology is a proper description of what happens - the second suggests the URL will open in a new window within NewsFan.

Comment on RSS - Version: 1.6, 12/20/2004 07:03AM PST

One note to makers of RSS feed readers. There exists a real need for a way to host one's RSS streams in a minimalist HTML format so that people can read their feeds on a cellular phone, which naturally can't handle lots of extravagant graphics but could display the contents of RSS feeds with graphics easily. Services like Bloglines, which let you surf your feeds online from any computer, still require logins and other things that a cell phone couldn't handle. So how about adding support for this with an RSS reader -- it could have options for creation of a view-anywhere HTML display that could be surfed from any machine via web sharing, or uploaded to an FTP site at regular intervals? Viewing one's RSS feeds on a cell phone is a "killer app" that has been ignored totally so far, as long as I can tell.

As of 13 November, going to the linked Developer's Website returns a "domain expired 05 November 2004" page from the domain registrar. Not a real hopeful sign...
Bad proxy support - Version: 1.5.1, 10/25/2004 03:00AM PST

As a lot of competitors, the product doesn't work if you are behind a proxy/firewall with authentification requiered.
Too bad.
Too bad.
