Not Bad. Not As Great As It Could Be And I Wonder Why?

I debated downloading this app. A lot of mediocre reviews. But then…I read an update from the developer that made it seem like the one major complaint about this app had been updated — and that is the size of the scroll bar itself. Yes, you can adjust the size of the scrollbar, but you cannot stretch it to the total width of your desktop. This is a major problem. The scrollbar, in essence, is tiny. The develpper needs to allow the scrollbar to extend across the entire length of any display.

Additionally, another problem is that only one news story appears at a time in the scroll window. Perhaps the reason why it is so tiny. Why the developer couldn’t create a real news ticker that displays several news stories across the entire span of the scroll bar is beyond me.

Appearance wise, this is a really nice ticker. It could be the most phenomenal news ticker available in the Mac App Store — that is, if the developer pays attention to these complaints and addresses them. Wish the deveipper would put a little more work into what he/she started and make this a really great ticker.

In the meantime, it’s a useful app, but downloading it will make you wish it was so much more. Let’s hope for an update.
