Worked decently enough for the first day, after that though it just said Application Not Responding when I clicked on it. The only real support seems to be through email, no troubleshooting FAQs or anything, so I just downloaded a different reader instead. The biggest plus is that it would work in Tiger.
Drawbacks:
- Forces the use of some fairly terrible icons
- New/Updated notification didn't seem to work. It would show an article new one minute, not new the next, and then new again a while later.
- Adding/Organizing the feed list was a little tedious, but still workable.
Overall it seems to be one of the few simple dock/menu readers that'll work on Tiger and it does a decent job. It just wasn't outstanding enough for me to bother to try and fix.
