What more can anyone ask for?
The product is working great pulling in feeds, just as I intended. I can safely say that you should buy this product - if you run into anything, you will not be left stuck with a problem - something I can't say for many other extensions I've tried.
The developer is friendly and deals with problems really quickly. We're really looking forward to trying the newest version with support for K2 feeds.
Keep up the good work guys!
One of the best joomla extension used to far
An they give me a perfect support in a short time.
Try it you will love it
Wow. I need not have worried with Feed2Post.
The module itself works a treat, doing everything it says it does and a bit more.
I ran into troubles after installing and reached out to the developers for help.
They offered either a refund or to help sort it out. I took their help.
The problem was with out server set up and they helped me to identify the problem and once the minor change to settings was done, the module worked a treat.
The developers are lovely people and have done so much to help me. Their english is perfect, showing that they are educated in multiple disciplines.
I wish other companies were as kind and supportive.
I strongly recommend this product and again extend my thanks to Elcan software for making Feed2Post. Gracias.
1)Import RSS feeds
2)Ability to automatically unpublish feeds after a specified period of time
3)Ability to set up a Cron to run the updates automatically.
The customer support has been great too. After I installed this product I ran in to a problem where the feeds would not auto-publish. I posted in their forum about the problem and within 24hrs received a response and a fix! How great is that!
I have to be honest, Feed2Post was the first automatic article component that I purchased. I however fell under the influence of the pretty sites and the overgrandized promises of the other components. I have realized I made the right choice the first time and could have saved some serious $$$ by sticking with what I knew worked the first time.
I would also like to mention that this component goes great with the AutoArchive2 plugin so that when your articles are done publishing they can be automatically archived or deleted.
Feed2Post is a great program and should be the program of choice for anyone who wants to build an automatic news section to their website.

It works perfectly up to about 75 feeds (thereafter it creates memory problems that Mario is aware of and is solving/mmight have already sold for J1.5).
When we had question Mario was always there quickly to answer them. When we wanted some new functionality he does added it to the next release and delivered it a few weeks later.
Thanks for a great extension.
its not great or fast at all...
But I asked my hosting company and they told me how to setup the cronjob so I did it and the component did work ok on the first run with all the feeds auto-published! I was happy but! in the second day nothing new was published so I went into the "items" section and published them manually, it was ok I can do this I tought :) Not quite once we ad more and more feeds there are more and more windows to open if you have 10+ feeds we go crazy doing it 1 by 1! but they did know about this so they ad a button with "post all" to post them all :) I used it it seems ok at first but no new articles on the website... :( I started wondering why so I go into article manager and I got hundreds of pending articles so I have to enter them all 1 by 1 and change the publish start date (Yes it toke some time)...
Resume.
After 1 week using it the component as an huge ammount of bugs and the support literally sucks but it does comes cheap 15$ :)
In the beggining I was thinking ok this ain't really that great because Im dumb (thats true anyway) but then we check theyr forums and everyone as exactly the same bugs and problems so maybe not all was my fault.
This ain't doing any miracles for your SEO at that level I believe it does more harm then good but it does provide fresh content if used wisely. If you are really looking for a feed2post component it does the trick but you do have to do lot of manual labour theres a reason why it is cheap :)buy it and support them new versions are always coming and probably next one will have this fix just don't believe in all the good reviews over here :)

Long story, support is active, the version runs VERY well with 1.5.10, and I immediately loaded 400+ feed articles into the site spread across 4 categories.
I sent some ideas to the dev about the UI, and hope they'll be integrated into the next release.
Not just me. If you look at their forum, other people have had the same problem.
