Newsflow: The No.1 News Ticker for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  Finally a great News accompaniment alongside my active work

  For literally six or seven years now I have occasionally searched the Microsoft App Store for a News ssource that would work in real-time alongside my active workflow without interfering with it or disrupting it. My actual earch terms have been “News Ticker” And I have been forever seeking a Wall Street-like or CNBC-like ticker of stock information and news information in real time. I have tried others, and they either interfered with (some quite badly) or they were just not nearly as polished as this one. I highly recommend Newsflow: The No. 1 News Tickrer. I did give this app 5 Stars. However, I hope they will read my review and listen to my SERIOUS suggestion. Make the app very customizable such that users can place the feed anywhere they like. I know that in ways you alrewady do this, however, I would like a leaner running three line "ticker tape” style that I can place at the top or bottom of my my screen. Like the news stations do, except modifiable in regard to how many lines of new information someone withes to be bombarded by/with. I hope you listen, because I am a brand ambassador for you and a daily user who counts on your service. Thank you!. Brian Kann

  Just well done

  I have forever looked for “ticker” apps out in the store, and the closest I’ve ever gotten are these “Wall Street - type” tickers that go just below the menu bar. Eh. I don’t want something constantly scrolling in my screen. Then, I came across NewsFlow, and I immediately loved the concept: the tabs, the fact that news come in as they are posted, but it is not a constant stream moving, well, it just fits my needs very well. The only thing I truly wish it had is the ability to change the color of the background. With the black one it looks awful (personal taste), with the glassy transparent one, if you have a photo for your wallpaper it really doesn’t look that great. So, I’ve settled for the grayish-looking background. The app would be awesome if I could bring up the color wheel or the crayons in Windows OS and select the background. It would be soothing to have a beige background (again, my personal taste). Nice addition to my desktop! p.s.- It shoudln’t have Readability anymore on the extensions since the service went the way of the do-do bird in 2017 (pity - I liked it).

  Newsflow is a Top-Notch App

  I've been impressed with other Rocky Sand Studio apps and didn't even realize they were the makers of Newsflow until I'd already downloaded and installed the app. It's gotten pretty good ratings from other users and there's a simple reason why — it does what it's supposed to do in an attractive and usable format. Well done!

  Adequate - not great

  So first thing that happened when I opened it is that it tried to get me to buy a bunch of other apps — that was my first clue. Then I discovered that I could only anchor it to the left or right side of my monitor and neither the width nor height can be changed so it’s taking up a ton of space ALL THE TIME. It’s basically just an RSS reader. You’re probably better off with ReadKit, open it when you want to read news then close it again!
