Tristana RSS Reader for Windows

Used Tristana RSS Reader for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffApril 26, 2010

Only a few example newsfeeds come with the program, so you'll need to find more on your own. Fortunately, the search box on the top of the interface helps you find RSS feeds by keyword. You also can click the Add Content Channel button and enter RSS, XML, or RDF links you find at your favorite sites; the program tells you how to do it if you need help. Unlike some readers, the viewing window offers convenient Forward and Back buttons so you can move around in pages you're reading.

This simple RSS reader provides the standard functions, with a couple of bonus features thrown in. Tristana offers the standard three-paned interface, with news channels on the left, headlines on the upper right, and a viewing window in the lower right.

Also, you can choose whether you want to view a story in the viewing window or in an external browser. Overall, we think Tristana is a great free reader for newbies who want to check out RSS.

Pros
Looks good It does work The theme would be good for a Firefox fanatic
Cons
Very humble Doesn't accept some feed sources
Summary
I originally downloaded this ages ago because it looked good, when i tried to put some of my feeds into it it rejected some of them for some reason. Then something happened on my computer a few days later and i had to restore my system, then the reader was gone. So i downloaded it again some time later and as soon as i restarted my computer (Sony Vaio running Vista home premium SP1)it crashed and frose, the only way i could sort it out was to start my laptop in safe mode and do another system rstore, and after that my laptop was fine. AND I WON'T DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN !!!!!!!

Pros
Easy to install and use. Makes adding and managing RSS Feeds simple. You can create folders and even create and save keyword searches of your feeds. Seems to be the better of the free RSS Readers

Pros
If you are new to RSS as I am then this program is definitely the way to start - it installs and then the rest is pretty self-explanatory. I just wanted a no-frills RSS reader to keep an eye on the newsfeeds from my favourite sites and this does the job!
Cons
I had to knock off one star because it seems there is no way to rename my feeds to a shorter word I prefer. It lets me do it, but every time the feed is updated it gets reset again... only for this it would be perfect
Summary
Very Cool RSS Reader
rssfocusJune 23, 2006
Pros
Cool RSS Reader with auto-download for Podcasts and can sync with my iPod. Very easy to add feeds and podcasts and setup is a breeze. Popup message to alert of updates is great.
Cons
No Filtering but filtering is over-rated anyway.
Summary
Loved it for 10 minutes
melodramababsJune 11, 2006
Pros
Easy to use. Simple Interface. Fast.
Cons
Wasn't able to delete feeds after 10 minutes of use. Moving feeds from one folder to another was annoying (mousing over a folder would open it even if that's not where I wanted to drop the feed)
