Scrolling News Ticker for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By PinkiPi

  Easy to use, practical, and convenient

  This app is really good. It is easy to customize with the news feeds you want. You can choose to have it always on top of your open windows or just let it run on your desktop, depending on how often you want to check the headlines. If a story interests you, a simple double click on the headline takes you right to the source. Fantastic! I use it both for news and professional RSS feeds and absolutely love it. Also, the developer answers feedback faster than anyone I’ve ever seen—really dedicated and cares about how the app works for people.

  May not work on the next PC!

  Yes, I now get warnings that this app may not work on the next OS unless the developer puts out another version. That being said, it is still pretty good, but needs improvement. Rignt now, on this version, I am experiencing a problem getting a story to open. I click on the ticker, and many times, the ticker moves. There is no "Lock" to prevent the ticker from sliding around when you click on it, and that feature is needed badly. Beyond that, a good app to help you discover new news feeds is direly needed, but that is not this author's fault.

  Informative & Easy to Read & Access

  The app installed easily and without any difficulties! I had a question regarding the settings and sent an email to the developer. They responded very quickly and were very helpful & answered all of my questions. While it would be nice to adjust the scrolling speed, the app as is is very workable and provides great access to news. It is also very easy to add additional RSS Feeds as well. Great app.

  Very Faulty

  - It’s terrible how it doesn’t let you select your desired speed of news flow. It takes FOREVER to read just one headline because of how slow it is. - Sometimes it just switches to Spanish out of the blue and there’s no way to change it back to English - I’d very much like to see more customization options, especially considering it’s a paid app. Things like size of the headline bar, speed of flow, and the way the headlines are shown (for example, instead of only giving the option of a horizontal flow of text, I’d prefer to have each headline move in vertically as is the case on CNN on tv) - After a few months, I completely stopped getting any headlines. It kept saying “retrieving lastest news” but for months I got nothing. And I was always on a reliable internet source. I tried deleting the app and was going to redownload it, but it required me to pay for it again so I just chose not to. Very disappointing...
