Publisher's Description:

NewsPiper - NewsPiper is an RSS feed reader, news aggregator, web grabber and news ticker in one program. It allows you to monitor your favorite news sites (cnn.com, foxnews.com, etc.), RSS feeds or blogs, retrieve necessary news and display it in the usual three panes newsreader interface (channels, news titles, news details) or scroll it in a special bar (NewsBar) placed at the top of your screen. For each shown headline, you can open the "full story" page in your default web browser simply by clicking on the headline.

Another useful feature of NewsPiper Pro is "news pronouncing": you can set it up to pronounce news headlines and details from one or more channels so NewsPiper can be used as a "radio tuner" for your favorite RSS feeds or Web sites.

Adding a new channel is very easy: you can manually enter the URL of a web site or an RSS feed, or drag-and-drop it from a web browser or another program, or simply paste it in from the clipboard.

You can also add channels from an "Online channel catalog" containing many popular web sites and RSS feeds.

In addition, NewsPiper checks your connection status according to a schedule you setup and changes the color of the icon in the system tray bar accordingly: green means you are online, red indicates offline.

Version: 3.6.0

It`s okay, but not actually true freeware

Pros

The RSS reader is useful for those who do many things at once. There is no need to open extra windows because it displays all of the news you need right then and there. Fairly customizable and allows you to pick where you get your news/feeds from.

Cons

Downloaded what was a 30-day trial. There is a nag screen at startup, which is mildly annoying. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure everything out, though I found the application's help to be limited and slightly counter-intuitive. It is a handy program to have, but it uses quite a bit of bandwidth. I only recommend this program for people who have computers that can handle the bandwidth demands.

Hard to figure out

I have a user in my organization who insists on having a "ticker" style RSS reader and this is the only one I could find that was easy to install and was free. It's hard to figure out how to access the different settings; some are available through the full-screen, others through the shortcut. The options are not all that well explained once you do find them, so it took some trial and error to get it set up the way I wanted. The ticker looks great though.
