Feed Reader Software Reviews


RSS Bandit

Thu, 7 May 2009

The RSS Bandit software almost won this test on one feature alone – its ability to download comments, as well as news stories.




Google Reader

Thu, 7 May 2009

The service regularly checks your favourite news sites and blogs for new content so you’re always up to date with what’s happening right now.


Internet Explorer (Feed Reader)

Thu, 7 May 2009

Casual surfers may have missed Internet Explorer’s hidden ability to access news feeds.


Bloglines

Thu, 7 May 2009

It’s simple to get to grips with almost every aspect of the interface because Bloglines’ first page outlines your options in great detail.




Sage-Too

Thu, 7 May 2009

Sage-Too is a pint-sized (201KB) Firefox add-on that brings lots of extra functionality to the browser. And what Sage-Too lacks in size, it makes up for in usability...



NewsAlloy

Thu, 11 Oct 2007

Google Reader shares similarities with Google Mail, but NewsAlloy – which isn’t related to Google in any way – is virtually a clone of the webmail service.



NewsGator Online

Thu, 11 Oct 2007

NewsGator is straightforward enough. You click the feed name on the left and view any stories in the pane on the right...



FeedShow

Thu, 11 Oct 2007

If you’re not too bothered about a flashy drag-and-drop interface and would rather your feeds were displayed quickly and efficiently, then FeedShow is definitely worth considering.



Rojo

Thu, 26 Oct 2006

Rojo is really more like blog search engine Technorati than Bloglines, so it’s a little cruel to put it up against the other feed readers...



RssReader

Mon, 19 Dec 2005

A basic but perfectly serviceable program, RssReader does exactly what it claims. It lets you gather and read feeds in both RSS and Atom format, adding addresses from its built-in directory.



Awasu personal edition

Mon, 19 Dec 2005

It’s not often you have to criticise a program, especially a free one, for having too many features, but such is the case with Awasu.



Sharpreader

Mon, 19 Dec 2005

Feed readers don’t come much more simple than SharpReader, whose minimalist interface sports just two buttons on its toolbar...



Omea Reader

Mon, 19 Dec 2005

Letting you manage web bookmarks, browse newsgroups and search your Desktop, Omea Reader is more an all-in-one organisation tool than a mere feed reader.



Sharp Reader

Thu, 9 Dec 2004

Sharp Reader is a very basic, minimalist reader, with only two buttons on its toolbar.
