5 days into my 15 day demo of this program, it starts complaining of database problems. Now it won't work at all anymore, and the only way to fix it is to nuke its DB and loose all my saved articles, which is a big feature for this program. There are also feeds this program just wont parse (MAKE blog's feed) and many feeds it shows duplicate articles. And the best part is the author of the program has never responded to any of my 3 support requests.

Demo worked fine for me. I bought it. It's been crashing regularly ever since. Unusable until fixed!

- Too many crashes
I like it, but... - Version: 1.1.1, 10/10/2004 09:28AM PST

it still crashes early and crashes often. I've tried every released version and they all crash within a few minutes of starting to use it. Most software I use doesn't crash at all and even programs that do don't crash as easily as PulpFiction. I really like the program itself, if it would just run for more than a few minutes at a time I'd buy it.

Good, but requires too much management - Version: 1.1, 9/25/2004 10:45AM PST

I was initially impressed by PF, buying a license after trying it for a few hours. My only complaint, and this is fatal enough for me to not use PF anymore, is that it requires you to make a decision about keeping or trashing each article you read. When you subscribe to 70 odd feeds and see hundreds of articles in a day, this is a waste of time. There should be an option to trash/expire articles after a user-definable period of time (NewsFire and NetNewsWire Lite both have such an option). Flagged articles should of course not be expired.
I guess the current paradigm is how Mail works, but it's important to realize that RSS posts are *not* emails. They are more like Usenet postings. Most articles in RSS feeds are not stored (by the reader) forever. Perhaps I am the only one who reads feeds in this manner.

Best approach to RSS reading - Version: 1.0.1, 8/13/2004 05:34PM PST

I think this is the best paradigm for the RSS/RDF/atom news feed, and unlike a couple of other users, this seems application appears to be more stable than the other RSS readers that I've tried. If Steve Jobs hadn't demonstrated the upcoming RSS features in the Tiger version of Safari, I wouldn't have been surprised if Apple developers took over this idea just as they implemented Watson features in Sherlock and Konfabulator features in the upcoming Dashboard. Steve seems committed to making RSS usage browser-centric, though, and I assume that the ability to search for and add RSS feeds from Safari will be more user-friendly than the Feedbot approach. It would be nice if there were a similar Mail-like approach for USENET newsgroups, which I'm surprised Apple has left entirely to third-party developers. I just wish the demo period for this had been one month instead of 15 days, as I can't even afford $25 USD for a few more weeks. I also hope that Google will soon offer an additional channel for searching newsfeeds rather than leaving us to search for "index.xml," "rss.xml," and other search strings that leave out the majority of feeds on the Web.
