    Another reader HAS stepped up. GreatNews (www.curiostudio.com) has always been better than FeedDemon - even more so now that FD has ads (a dealbreaker for any software). You can't offer something for free then just switch it to adware - FD's author needs to get a clue pronto. This program just plummeted from 4 to 2 stars.

    Still a great RSS reader, and well worth paying for if it didnt have ads.

    But...the author still insists on sticking their ads right over the most valueable piece of real-estate in the application.....the tree-view. This makes the program nearly useless since it reduces the "at a glace" functionality of the application by about 20%.

    Back to version 2.7....hoping that another reader will step up.

    The ads are pretty discreet, I'm still happy with it for now. Whether the ads will always be so discreet, time will tell.

    (posted this in the forum first, confused by annoying new site layout which I assume will go away after CES)

    Without a doubt the best RSS reader around. But ... ads.

    The new ads mean that I'm going to have to go looking for a different reader. Again. After I'd already found about the best reader available for Windows.
