Hi David & all Whilst I appreciate that David’s below message is providing interesting comparative information, just a quick reminder for others that we are specifically an iOS and OS X group. So let’s not go down the Windows road too far on this. David’s message is fine, as he’s just making observations based on his experiences. But please let’s just leave the Windows stuff out of this discussion hence.

Unfortunately the headline is that it is a far better product I think on Windows as it contains its own browser. Some initial comments on QFeed. The application on the Mac is not as slick as in Windows. Importing your Feeds is straightforward enough, and then you have 2 tables to first of all interact with to select the feed you want to view and then a following table which will have the feed articles. Beyond this is an html area which will contain the beginning of the feed article. On the Windows implementation . there was an inbuilt browser which contained the text to the whole article. On the Mac implementation you have to press command B which will open the feed article in Safari if you want to .we the whole text. As all the feed articles I looked at were readable with Reader command shift R this does not .. make for a terrible experience in actual reading but I did find switching from Safari to QFeed frustratingly slow. This is a problem that I have experienced ever since I upgraded to Mavericks so this might not be a QFeed issue and may be resolved with a clean install. I thought Clean my Mac had sorted most of the problems but clearly has not in this case. If you find that you can switch smoothly from Safari to QFeed then this may be a usable and useful application. As it stands though it works much better on Windows where there is no need to use an external browser. You might want to try in demo mode to see if it behaved acceptably on your system. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
