It runs GREAT on 10.6.7, It does everything it used to do saving RSS feeds that is automatically directing you to Syndic.com from preferences. The Developer however DOES NOT respond at all to eMail.I lost mt Registration and he ignored me.I found it in a pile of old papers and was able to download it again and enter my registration without his help.I love the app and it is a good one.

Used to be a great program under Leopard. Constantly crashes under Snow Leopard. Don't bother writing the developer. They don't answer emails. Sent several asking if they will update for Snow Leopard. So, while they are still thinking about it, there is a FAR BETTER news ticker that just came out called ZipLine. Search for reviews here. Far nicer than Newsticker and it is 100% stable under Snow Leopard.

NO update since the introduction of Snow Leopard. Very instable with Snow Leopaard. Ihave asked the developer whether there is an update underway.? The answer was they will think of it. And so far no update released Cannot recommend for those who use Snow Leopard and it seems that the developer don't want to do anything with is software anymore

A handy 5 star application! Had a little trouble adding RSS feeds, emailed developer and got a response in 15 minutes! Support Outstanding! Nice touches and features - like being able to scroll on the second monitor, drag scroll thru ticker, dim stories already read, etc. etc. Smooth scrolling, runs excellent on 1.25 Ghz 15" PowerBook on 10.4

NewsTicker is a great application, at a really good price. The interface shows the developer "gets" the concept behind OSX applications-- every aspect of the program is very powerful but at the same time stylish, easy to use and good looking. Well done. One thing I would love to see for a future version would be the ability to hide the dock icon. (perhaps put the menu options in an overlay window that appears when the cursor hovers over the feed?) That, in my mind, would make the program pretty much perfect.

This works very well, but you should know that it "ticks" news about apple products. This is a great way to see new software, but if you want a CNN style ticker, you will have to add a stream from preferances.

Interesting RSS ticker and probably one of the better ones out there. However, the interface needs some work before it's really usable. The ability to mark articles as read without having to click each one is missing, forcing you to mark every article from every feed as read in order to get old stuff out of the mix. There's also a slight issue with the demo version in regard to the position on the screen. If it is set to 'desktop' you will not be able to bring the app forward to click the 'register later' nagware button that pops up every time the feed is refreshed.

Judging from the new "Gradient" fill it looks like NullRiver has been busy studying Tickershock from Mesa Dynamics. If you're going to copy anything else from that application, how about getting NewsTicker's CPU usage down?
