I am on the side of whoever said that they needed more spaces on each page. I have WAY more then simply 3 RSS feeds on technology, for instance.

Here comes my fourth season of MacHeist!

This is the only RSS reader I like, other than Safari. This is a great app, thanks

Another bug - It has stopped showing the names of all the feeds. I really really want to love this program, and I think that once they sort out the issues, I will.

Here comes my fourth season of MacHeist!

I absolutely love this app. What a great idea for an RSS reader and I'd have bought it earlier if I had already heard of it.

Go into the "Times" menu option and click "Reset Times...". It deletes everything and restarts as a factory refresh.

In regard to your earlier post, you can add more than 3 feeds to a page, just drag multiple feeds into the side bar and the bigger space below. The small one up top can only hold one, but the others don't have a limit.

Also, you can remove certain areas by dragging the separators between them.

new update fixes a lot of issues, including opml

I love Times now!

I love Times, but there are two problems which make it unusable for me.
• Articles are grouped by feed, not date. Both can be useful, but date is usually the better of the two.
• New articles are only marked as "fresh" for as long as the refresh interval.
Until these are fixed I'm sticking with Mail. $30 is too much for me to pay for an RSS reader, so I'll be disappointed if the issues aren't fixed. I just love the design of this app, but given that Mail is free and integrated, I wouldn't be willing to pay more than about $10 for Times. I'm sure it will succeed with others, but it's not looking good where I'm standing.

OK, addition: I have a few UI gripes. Make use of right-click menus, please! Pressing delete may be obvious, but *I* do that by right-clicking. Using the keyboard in such a mouse-driven app doesn't seem natural. I *like* using the mouse, and Times is one of the best mousers I've found, but the contextual menus leave a lot to be desired.

Similar feelings + it seems to be too US orientated (which I partially understand but not necessarily agree with)

I simply cannot make Times show any feeds. Importing from Safari went fine, but dragging feeds to the empty areas results in... empty areas. System.log shows numerous entries like this:

NSConcreteNotifyingMutableAttributedString addAttribute:value:range:: nil value

This app has great potential, but for some reason some of the photos in blog posts don't show up.

I see. So it does accept more than tree feeds on a page. Nice! I instantly like it a LOT better. This news reader app is what I have been waiting for. ( It's so different from minimalist readers like Headline ... maybe they will both have a place... maybe not...)

Still, I wouldn't mind some more page templates to choose from.

In which way is Times US orientated? I can understand you saying that with like SousChef that doesn't allow metric measurements, but this RSS reader... I just don't see how it is in any way oriented to the US?

Think Purple.

Still crashing here with the just released version...

If the dev wants crash logs, he should let us know where to send them.

Nough time wasted on Times..

I can't see the US focus either.

Plastic Fish Never Die

If it crashes, it's very simple. You just have to reinstall the OS from scratch, zapp all the prams, install - uninstall - install again, reinstall the OS a fourth time, restore permissions, and then it's probably something odd with the RAM anyway. (Yes, I'm bitter after having visited the apple support forums....)

Plastic Fish Never Die

LOL

I agree with these issues.  I love the interface (I like the idea that it doesn't just look like a mail client and that you can group your main feed, your secondary feeds and your quirky feeds)but a news reader needs to be about helping you find the things you've not read and the sorting within the panels by feed rather than date makes this a pain and makes a lot of scrolling necessary (UI101 - people don't like scrolling, particularly horizontally or in boxed).

If within the three panels they listed articles by date and/or whether they've been read or not then this would take over from NetNewsReader as my RSS reader of choice but for now I'm being torn between the two.

As far as I know, people have no problems with scrolling. This page scrolls, for instance.
Sorting by time only works well with feeds that have approxmately the same output, otherwise one feed will be gobbled up by the other.

Plastic Fish Never Die

The main problem I have with Times is constant 1-2% CPU usage.

I love times, it's very innovative

Have you updated to the latest 1.1.1 version (released today)? For me it fixed both CPU and (significantly) the memory usage.

Think Purple.

I think the software is great but it says that it is only a trial. I thought these were the full versions?

You still need to input the serials, available in your Receipt page.

Wow, great app!

GO GREEN!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!

If this sync'd with Google Reader, I would love it.

Huh, a RSS feed app that I actually like, who would have thought

Still has some issues with restrictions though, and formatting of articles in app.

If you cant beat your computer at chess - try kickboxing...

I have a problem with the "mark as fresh" option. When a new article arrive, not every feed show the little green indicator? Am i the only one? If anybody know how to fix this that'd be great!
Thanx.

I can't import my google reader feeds, anyone know how to solve it?

What a fantastic interface this app has. I do believe I will use this regularly. Thanks Macheist.

If this is app is continually supported and updated by the dev (Like Awaken and Pixelmator last year) it could be one of the real winners of this bundle.

Sweet Add.

Nice app with huge potential.

Well I think I broke Times when I did it.  I downloaded and installed Times and ran it for about 10 minutes - what a visually beautiful app! - then I created an new page and imported my Google feeds via OPML - don't think it finished the processing.  After that all its done is crash continuously.  So I AppZapped it and reinstalled but now it just crashes simply because its open?? with no user interaction.

Really, really wish there was a badge icon stating number of unread articles. Otherwise, pretty cool app.

This is a awesome application! Compared to Vienna, this looks/functions so much better.

I would love to be able to customize the format of each page. That is, have more than three sections, or change the size of the sections. Maybe more than one page template?

I also like the way it just says new in the dock badge. I found that with Headline (from the MacHeist christmas givaway), 3253 new articles looked a little intimidating.

Times -> Reset Times -> Reset to Defaults. Not that hard!

You can change the the sections - its in the Help file.

I am liking this application so far..
Only problem I am having is that when reading an article, the page curl "locks up" and the whole reader becomes unresponsive? I haven't seen anyone else say they are experiencing this problem, so maybe just my machine?

Would love to see someone address this issue, and if there is a setting to turn off to keep it from locking up?

I'm absolutely loving this, I bought the bundle before this dropped for iSale and Espresso, but I think this might just be the app I end up using the most.  Amazing potential, and it has that one thing that I love most about Mac Devolepment, the devs thought way outside of the box, and created something I actually enjoy using.

All I know is that I don't know nothing!

GO GREEN!

I would say they're referring to the selection of default feeds... except the first page is WORLD news, and even the Science and Entertainment pages have CBC feeds.

I'm loving Times. It'll hopefully get me to actually read my RSS feeds.

Twitter. Hi!

I'm liking this app more and more. I love the layout, very unique approach to feed reading. It sure takes the monotony out of page after page of just links and a preview pane.

Yeah, I haven't quite figured that out either.

Fun app.  Makes reading news... fun?

+1 on this bug. Always great to see the devs active on the forum for their app. I'm wanting to use this - a bit of eye candy never hurt, especially for an app that i'll look at 4-5 times every day. I have an older G4 PB and it is just slow, slow, slow with Times running. Any click in the app grinds the whole shebang to a halt. I'll have to stick with NetNewsWire and see if this gets anymore efficient.

Anything is possible, very few things actually happen.

I also have trouble with the feeds. Some names aren't showing, and the importing from NetNewsWire function still doesn't work very well, some seeds appear twice. I think Times looks very nice, but for now I'll stick to NNW.

How do you say goodbye?

agreed. only some of them show up as green new, which pisses me off.

GO PURPLE!

Hmmm - was excited by this app, but it keeps crashing on me. Plus I find the three pane layout too restrictive.

Count me in on this one. It's pretty important for me to know that A. the app indicates new items, B. the page indicates new items, and C. the items indicate they are new. It's not going to be the fastest news reader in the world if I have to play "hunt the non grey news above grey news though there might not actually be any grey news".

EDIT: Gah, well that's just gone and killed it for me. It doesn't seem to honour the system set proxy server. At home it works fine. Get on the work network and it fails miserably.

EDIT: Ok, so I rebooted and guess what. Times picked up the proxy fine. When I get back home later I'll cross my fingers that I won't have to reboot then.

Update:  Seems stable today but I haven't brought my Google Reader feeds in so ....
