Publisher's description of SharpReader 0.9.6

From Luke Hutteman:

SharpReader is an RSS Aggregator for Windows. Features include the ability to handle all RSS versions, ATOM, modules like dublin core, advanced threading support that allows you to view connected items together in a threaded fashion. SharpReader also detects and shows connections between items if they have same link, if one item links to another, if two items both link to the same external webpage, or if an item has comments (for feeds supporting the standard). In addition, SharpReader groups subscribed feeds into custom categories and reduces bandwidth by using HTTP Conditional GETs and gzip/deflate encoding.

This new version adds Atom support.

Editor's review of SharpReader 0.9.6

  • 4.0 stars

  • "SharpReader"
  • Version reviewed: SharpReader 0.9.6
The freeware RSS reader offers some nice features, but its interface leaves much to be desired. SharpReader lets you merge feeds using folders. You can filter posts by keywords, age, and status (read, unread, locked). The program can notify you on new articles. SharpReader comes with a built-in browser so that you can view the full article text without quitting the program. However we didn t like that there is no address bar to enter URLs. Adding feeds could be easier. SharpReader does let you drag and drop links but many users would prefer adding a channel with a Context menu command in their browser. If you don t mind design issues, SharpReader makes a decent pick in the category of RSS readers.
