Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Mike, it does have nag screens. I just downloaded and tried it for about 10 minutes. During that time, the NewsHunter Preferences window would open up to the registration tab. Now I don't know what you call that, but regular human folk call that a nag screen my friend. Another one just popped up on top of Omniweb while I was typing this!! That is just too much. It's not bad enough to have the nag screen (but deny it), but the nag screen will even come over another program running in the foreground.

Nice interface, but you'll never make the money you could if you lowered the price to normal news reader price between $25-$40. I would opt for the $40 on the high end because of the offline capabilities.

But don't say there are no nag screens when the preference window opens up to the registration tab every few minutes. Good grief. Now that I know you are a liar, I will never buy this, even if you drop the price. If you lie to me before the point of sale, what will you do afterwards?

I'll stick to Unison for now, and anybody else would do good to stick to whatever they are using for now.
