CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It offers the standard features found in nearly every other free RSS reader, but nothing that makes FastTrackNews stand out.
FastTrackNews has a self-explanatory three-panel interface: one for viewing your list of feed sources, one for seeing the list of feeds for a selected source, and one to view them in. We did like the ability to create a schedule for checking new feeds, and for deleting them, but everything else was run of the mill. We were able to easily add new feed links by copying and pasting the link into the field, and the feed quickly appeared in the tree menu without any issues. Viewing a feed is a simple matter of clicking, and they're rendered exactly as they are on the source page.
It's free and simple to use, but if you already have a feed reader, you won't find any compelling reason to switch over to FastTrackNews. We can recommend it to those new to RSS feed readers for its ease of use.
