Today I came to terms with Times, a new RSS reader made by Acrylic Software. It breaks up your feeds into pages, such as Sport (you would have Goal.com, Uefa.com etc.), Technology, World, Science and etc. It combines some of Apple’s technologies such as Core Image, Core Animation and WebKit. It feels so well thought out, that I think Apple could release it. Sure, that’s a pretty bold statement, and it is at Version 1.0, but I reckon with a little work, it can beat NewsFire and NetNewsWire. It uses Page curls and Slides, and even the animation that happens when you swap Spaces in Leopard.
I think this is a fantastic app, and although this is a 1.0 version, I see a lot of potential.
If you would like an in depth review, rather than this 6-hour review, head over to The Apple Blog for their review on Times.
