When I came across this program I was thrilled! Until I tried to use it. DOES NOT work in Tiger as some of the other comments have pointed out. Since this doesn't seem to be supported anymore I would suggest looking for RSSMenu instead.

I am a paid user as well, and after repeatedly writing the Developer--to no avail--all I can conclude is that this Developer simply has their website up to attract unsuspecting prey who pay for the application and then receive nothing. I am purchasing less shareware these days as this story is being repeated too often. Many Developers nowadays are simply one shot wonders--slash and burn authors of shareware where they appear to be supporting the application, but the opposite is the truth.

Mr Reynolds--2008
Aside from the fact that there is NO documentation included with the app, attempting to use it on an iMac G5 1.8Ghz with 1.5Gigs of installed RAM via high-speed Internet (Cox Cable), one gets a virtual freeze while the app is allegedly "loading feeds"--at 2 kbps or slower. I let it "load feeds" overnight, and it was still hanging on one feeed in the morning. I have trashed it and will ait until someone older and wiser can tell me what is wrong. Sorry Charlie!
