RSS newsreader with junk filtering and intelligent article highlighting.

With a number of RSS managers available, it may be difficult for users to find one that works well on their Mac. Cream for Mac, while simple, is a fully functional RSS feed manager with a basic interface.
With no trial version available, the full program costs $3.99 from the Mac App Store. As with other applications from Apple's store, download of Cream for Mac was smooth and no user agreement acceptance was needed to start the program. After directly installing into the applications folder, the program opened cleanly. No separate instructions existed, but a tutorial walked us into syncing existing feed readers, such as Google Reader, into the program. There was support for importing a limited number of other feeds, or doing so, manually. After syncing, the program opens its basic reader menu, which lists the feeds available by Web site. Additional menus allow viewing of individual stories, themselves. Clicking a story brings up an additional window displaying the text. Navigating to the full story version simply takes the click of a button. While the program has all the expected functions, many of the buttons to take advantage of the options require trial and error to decipher, which is a disappointment.
