Most of what was stated in post prior to mine, summed it up greatly so I will try to not be redundant. I thought it ran well, didn't hog my system, decent interface but couldn't add new content. Basically, it's like a manageable application with short cuts to other sites , news, whatever. I found it to be the same as others. Everything you get now days has Youtube, Google, etc... a to do list, same ole same ole. This was nothing out of the ordinary and less than exciting so I can't in my honest opinion, even though it ran great and such, give it anything higher than a 3. Sorry.

It's very handy and attractive, and doesn't use an inordinate amount of resources. The compact and customizable interface is its biggest plus. But it doesn't use standard RSS/XML feeds, instead using a proprietary format in the form of plugins available only from the developer's website. The database of these plugins is poorly organized, requiring page after page of scrolling to find what you want. The search engine doesn't work properly, failing to return results for plugins that are actually present. KlipFolio itself breaks frequently (failing to update some or all of the feeds, losing feed histories, launching with errors or failing to launch), requiring a complete uninstall and reinstall followed by a reinstall of all feeds (if you can find them again). As pretty as it is, the poor database organization and frequent breaking aren't worth it IMO.
