Great, but...

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

Great newsreader with many nice features and ease of use, but because of following limitations and very slow development (despite I donated :), I'm seriously thinking moving to another app:

  • News window limited to 100,000 articles, no convenient way to fetch the remaining articles (100,000+). Very annoying since my news provider keep in some groups more than 1,000,000 articles.

  • Binaries decoding fails quiet often while inline browsing and saving, in particular with some multi part messages.

  • Articles can't be marked for later download.

  • no .nzb support.

One more feature request: binaries download should be recorded in a log which entries could be selectable to be saved in a .nzb file. Reason: when you download from many groups together while checking the resulting files an other day, it's very annoying not knowing from which group/date they where downloaded.


Adding these little enhancements, this would be definitely the best mac newsreader for me :)
