FeedDemon 4.0.0.22

Rated 50/50 by badbadbad911 at May 28, 2010

Easy GUI - very, very simple to use, but has an abundance of features. It also supplies you with a selection of RSS feeds "to get you started" which are actually pretty good! You have to $$$pay to get rid of the ads! But the ads are fairly unassuming and you can barely notice them. I love this product - it is my favourite RSS reader - I just find it so intuitive and easy to use.

FeedDemon was once, in my opinion, the "leader of the pack" for desktop RSS reader solutions. Like many here, I even coughed up 30 clams to register it when it (first) went Ad/Shareware. It's clear, however, that development has essentially stalled on this once excellent app, and the fact that it has swung back to Freeware then back again to Ad/Shareware is offensive and dishonest. These days, I prefer using Feedly.com (a Firefox, Chrome and, now, Safari extension) for my RSS reading, and I love it. PS - Bags and bags of FAIL for @dhry: "11-point" word =/= "11-letter" word. If this clown spent more time playing real games with real people, and less time getting into childish fights on the internet, he might just be able to comprehend the difference.

FeedDemon keeps it simple,akin to my old RSS reader,Outlook. I just want a menu,navigation pane and reading pane. I can go directly to a full webpage of the RSS item instead of opening my browser,and can keep that page as a tab,even when I close FD. I have not found anything so far. If you want something simple that keeps you focused on the content rather than the controls,FeedDemon may just be right for you.

This use to be a great program. I paid for it back in the days, then they went freeware, and now payware again...... really ?

Well, I've spent several months playing real games with real people, like Operation and Candy Land for example, and I haven't gotten into a childish fight on the internet for almost a year now (hooray!), but I *still* for some reason can't seem to comprehend the fact that an 11-letter-word is always going to be different than an 11-POINT-word, even if all 11 letters are single-point letters. There HAS to be something I'm missing. I'll keep looking, but in the meantime, this program continues to suck. As does feedly.com when compared to GreatNews. (squeezes bike horn a couple of times and pedals off on a unicycle)

None, there are other feed readers available for free, there are no reasons to use this one. Can only use Internet Explorer.

An excellent newsreader. I've tried all sorts, and they all seem to have glitches or use huge amounts of ram. This one just gets on with it. Has tons of features that someone must use but I don't. The Google Reader integration seems clever, basically using Google in the background to do all the fetching etc. It always seemed to me that readers that work directly become very processor intensive whenever they're downloading. Some people moan about the adware aspect of this reader, but it's just a square area in the corner that displays an ad that changes very rarely. Not the slightest bit distracting.

Like the access to the categories I wish someone could develop the RSS that travels alongthe bottom of the screen. That would be coooool. overall good product

Same old reliable FeedDemon 4.0 is a "Lite" version, which removes several features Upgrading from 3 to 4 gives you a choice of either going to FeedDemon Pro or FeedDemon Lite. Lite removes several beloved features and you have to pay for the pro option to get them back. Things like the customizable CCS stylesheets, authenticated feeds, prefetching and content filters.This. Sucks. With so many RSS reader choices out there, that NewsDemon decided to gimp the product to extort money seems like a horrible move. I will be looking elsewhere for a desktop RSS reader.

It's quicker on Windows XP PCs Charges for (almost) everything important I was a fan of this software for a while. So whenever there was an update, I expected things to get better. Not with this version. There are features I used that was taken away such as my FeedStation and placed into a "Pro" version. Also, I was forced to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 to view feeds correctly. Overall, they ruined what was once as close to a perfect product as possible and because of this, I've uninstalled and found another program. Thanks FeedDemon for a few good years.

Flexible, easy to read and organize. None I can think of at moment. Try it, you will like it.
