Editor's review

This is a definitely must have software for anyone who wants the latest news updates without the hassles of logging on to a number of news portals and blog sites throughout the day FastTrackNews allows you to set your favorite news and blog feeds in a very easy manner and keeps you updated with the most recent posts.

It is indeed very simple to use; all you have to do is click on the New icon on the main toolbar and enter the link to your favorite news web site. Once you subscribe to the web site, the program will then automatically keep bringing you the most recent news posts on the site. Viewing the news is even easier: the program divides the screen into three windows—the first one displays the names of all your favorite news portals in a tree format very similar to the tree you see in your Favorites windows, the second window displays the newly added headlines on these sites, and the third one displays the news url and the article. No more clicking on various links to get to the article you want to read. FastTrackNews runs in the background and downloads them for you. These articles are then displayed in a customizable view.

So, now no more opening and closing multiple browser windows to keep track of news; just open FastTrackNews and keep getting almost instant updates about the latest articles on the various web sites. But that’s not it! The software is also smart enough to delete the expired news items and therefore takes care that your system does not get clogged with news items that are no longer relevant.

Moreover, the software is free and does not take much space on your computer. Keeping yourself informed of the breaking news cannot get any easier or faster and so we receives a 4 star rating which it is so worth off.
