Editor's review of NewzCrawler

5.0 stars

Of all the commercial RSS newsreaders we've reviewed, none beats NewzCrawler for its breadth of features, ease of use, and intuitive interface. The three-pane window displays channels on the left, headlines on the upper right, and an IE-based browser on the lower right. You can add newsfeeds by right-clicking the channel heading, using the pull-down menus, or dragging and dropping orange XML links to the channel window. NewzCrawler provides a huge number of features for RSS news gathering, along with extras such as integrated blogging tools, podcast reception, and the ability to instantly send stories by e-mail. The program comes loaded with sample feeds, and its autodetect feature can discover new ones as you browse. There's even a feed-addition wizard for beginners. Our only concern is that, because NewzCrawler uses the same underlying technology as Internet Explorer, it is vulnerable to the same security issues. Also, the ZIP file installer is a bit of a nuisance. Nevertheless, we wholeheartedly recommend NewzCrawler to beginning and advanced RSS hounds alike.

"This is a useful and neat little product to have."

by tbb505 on November 29, 2006

Pros: NewzCrawler is a wonderful product to have at my fingertips whenever I need it. This is one of many programs I use on a daily basis that I enjoy using very much. The fact that you got late breaking news delivered to you within seconds and all in the same program to where you can jump from news site to the other saves me alot of time rather than trying to surf the web for every news source that is out there to get the information you need and want. This program also lets you update whenever you want so you can get the latest and greatest news. This program also enables you to add your own RSS feeds to the program and you can also put it under your own custom folder. All-in-all this nifty little program is essential to avid news readers that need information on the very second they open the program. Get it now and you won't regret it.

Cons: No cons here, absolutely a wonderful and essential program to have.

"Best RSS software available!"

by 1Canuck on April 17, 2006

Pros: I am a full-time day-trader and for me having the latest breaking news ASAP quite literally means hundreds of dollars gained or lost. With this is mind, for me the BEST feature with Newz Crawler is the fact that you have the ability to set how often you want the program to check for updates. Some of the free RSS readers out there only check every 1 or 3 hours! I have Newz Crawler set to check every 1 MINUTE and it works great! It doesn't slow down my PC at all, and has always given me that extra 'edge' I need to buy/sell when I need. The user interface is very straightforward to learn and yet has plenty of advanced features for the 'techie' out there. I've demo'd a number of other RSS readers (Feed Demon, Newsgator, Bloglines, Google Reader, Yahoo Reader, Awasu and Pluck) and this one easily beat them all hands down!

Cons: None so far (two weeks into using it). Great product and easily worth the money!

"Not This One for Me...."

by TrackSnakeLA on March 12, 2007

Pros: ...it looked nice.

Cons: Froze during first use. Not a good sign, so I uninstalled it. Next.

Life's too short for bad first installations.
