Publisher's description of Snarfer 0.3
From Snarfware:While surfing the Internet have you noticed all those little RSS, XML, or ATOM feed buttons popping up on Web pages and blogs? Did you ever wish you could read them but didn't have the right software? Well now you do and it's call Snarfer. Snarfer is a RSS/XML/ATOM feed aggregator that presents information to users in a simple to use interface. But don't let simple looks fool you, Snarfer includes a powerful custom SQL database for speed and functionality. Snarfer includes a wide assortment of sample feeds users may choose during the install. After install user may choose from 1000+ feeds with a simple click of the mouse in our Additional Feeds section.
Version 0.3 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
Editor's review of Snarfer 0.3

- "Devouring feeds right and left"
This top-notch feed reader will devour your RSS and Atom feeds, though a few users might find it too basic. Snarfer keenly follows the "keep it simple" adage in every function. An uncomplicated, uncluttered interface follows a generic app design of left-side listed entries with a right-side preview pane. Copy a feed link in your browser and switch to Snarfer, and you'll find the program has already entered the link from the clipboard into your add-feed dialog.
To save an entry, simply drag it to a Save folder. E-mailing an entry and other basic functions are available in the context menu, while helpful wizards make it a snap to add and save Craigslist or eBay searches. Especially helpful is the prominent Quick Search box, though searches can't be limited to a single feed. Feed updates and update intervals are easily set, and users can elect to automatically save entries they have read or have them expire after a certain number saved. You can also import feeds from other readers using OPML.
This is a perfect first feed-reader for newbies, although experienced readers will miss customizations like changing fonts and preview pane location. Nevertheless, we recommend this freeware feed reader for its simplicity, small footprint, presentation, and efficiency.

Version: Snarfer 0.3
Pros: I found the prior version's flashing ads from "Snarfer sponsors" ("Play Poker NOW, LIVE!") intolerably distracting. Thankfully, the new version (due to complaints?), though it still has an oblong of tiny text ads, these are unobtrusive, not flashing,and totally ignorable.
-Easy to use Interface
-Excellent extensive ready made list of RSS feeds comes with the program (some other readers come with paltry lists).
-Works like a charm.
Cons: -Some RSS readers allow you to save favourite articles in a special section within their program.This one doesn't.
-I'd prefer no ads at all (some readers are ad free), but it's a very minor complaint for a reader otherwise so pleasant to use.
