DESCRIPTION
Times is a new type of newsreader for Mac OS X Leopard. Instead of treating news like email (as most RSS readers do), Times presents you with headlines and photos from a variety of sources all in one place, letting you more easily discover the news you want to read. Like your own personal newspaper, you can put feeds into separate areas, create pages for different subjects, and more.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.1.5: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

TICONUCK  Love it. Aside from a minor bug, this application is a huge help in keeping your eye on a large number of news sources in a more user friendly and intuitive way. Sure hope something very similar to this gets developed for the iPad. Hint, hint ;)

TICONUCK  I should clarify: the bug I sort of half referred to has been fixed, so far as I can tell. I don't know of any current bugs in this app.

PEDECH  Application keeps on crashing... (ver 1.1.5) I need to " force quit" it and re open it almost every time I launch it.

The interface is really good looking... hope for a more stable future version.

L-G-S  Great idea for a RSS reader. I love the interface. But the app is instable and eats a lot of memory in certain cases.

SIR GADABOUT  A well-presented RSS reader with a deal-breaking flaw.

On the whole this app looks nice, is intuitive to use and offers sufficient features for basic RSS reading. However, the deal-breaker is this: it seems it will only download a maximum of 20 articles for any given feed. This, at any rate, has been my experience. The MacUpdate RSS feed amongst many others (eg. DealMac's "Today's Edition" feed) often has more articles than this for download—so what are you supposed to do? All you can do is go to the website and browse the rest (if there are any) there. Or use Mail.app, which is not ideal, IMHO.

So, like I say, a deal-breaker. Hopefully the developer will fix this not minor flaw, and all-of-a-sudden he'll be close to having a top-notch RSS reader on his hands! All that would remain is a partner app for the iPhone/iPod touch and he'd be sailing…

VERYVITO  Great looking and exactly what I want from a news aggregator... Now if only it would run for more than a few minutes without crashing. I DO have high hopes for this software, and look forward to its stable release.

AV  I agree with Andre. GOOD but needs alot of "bugs hunting down" - esp. it not properly updating all feeds, or if it does it doesnt highlight them. Surely this needs to be fixed asap?! Otherwise the app is useless.

Please fix the problems and make this unique app usable.
