If you want to transfer all your feeds from normal feed reader then don’t worry as you will be able to do at as this free multi-platform RSS ticker supports exporting OPML files.

This attractive RSS ticker comes with an attractive and easy to use interface. You will find four buttons on the tab. One is for adding feed, second one is for option, third one is for expanding or collapsing a feed and the last the fourth one is quit. I guess you won’t have to use the fourth one once you start using this ticker.

There is a built-in auto update feature in Snackr which will let you know whenever there is a new version of Snackr is available. You might see that this free RSS ticker sometimes load the whole website in the bubble. It happens when the ticker fails to find any content or description. The developers of Snackr are working on it and are trying to improve this feature.
