"All you need for RSS..."
Version: FeedDemon 3.1.0.20
Pros
Easy GUI - very, very simple to use, but has an abundance of features. It also supplies you with a selection of RSS feeds "to get you started" which are actually pretty good!
Cons
You have to $$$pay to get rid of the ads! But the ads are fairly unassuming and you can barely notice them.
Summary
I love this product - it is my favourite RSS reader - I just find it so intuitive and easy to use.

great control over feeds

"Dowloads podcasts and is very configurable"
Version: FeedDemon 3.1.0.20
Pros
Easy to configure. Isn't too, in-your-face.
Cons
Even though you can configure it to remove older files, it doesn't. When installing, not as admin it doesn't prompt for credentials. It installs to Local Data, which is a very insecure design.

"Nice features, but temporary files can fill up drive"
Version: FeedDemon 3.1.0.12
Pros
Displays summaries of each feed.
Managing feeds is easy.
Downloads manager is nice, but has bugs.Cons
Download manager does not get rid of temporary files after each file is downloaded.
No way to contact authors with bug reports.Summary
This is the best RSS feed manager I found so far. However, its handling of temporary files during the download process filled up my C: drive. I was doing downloads of backissues of video podcasts, each several hundred MB long. Instead of deleting each temporary file on the C: after each download was completed, it waits until all files are downloaded and the program exited to delete the temporaries. As a result, my C: filled up. Also, I have been unable to find any way to contact the authors with bug reports.

"Easy to use for first time user."
Version: FeedDemon 3.1.0.12
Pros
Preset news feeds.
Cons
To much stuff to read.
Summary
Program is easy to use for first time users. The number of preset news feeds is simply to much to read. An interest list to choose from would be easier to use.
