## Features

### Interface

The three-pane user interface is modeled after desktop email clients, with a tree view showing the list of feeds. The application has a number of features inspired by email readers and other RSS readers including:

* Search folders for reading all items that match a search term or just all unread items
* Import and export subscription lists as an OPML file
* Keyboard shortcuts for main functions
* Ability to download podcasts[4]
* Automatic marking of items as read as they are scrolled past
* Search in all feeds, across all updates from subscriptions
* Current subscription lists and read/unread state of items in the application can be synchronized via a FTP or WebDAV server, allowing use from multiple computers
* Feeds can be read from a Google Reader account, allowing the user to subscribe or unsubscribe from feeds, mark items as read or star them in RSS Bandit and have these changes reflected in Google Reader
* Feeds can be read from Facebook accounts, to read their news feed and comment on the status updates of their friends.

## Reception

The application received 4 out 5 stars in a review on Download.com.[5] It has also received 4 out of 5 stars in a review on About.com.[6]
