This is a very good tool with lots of options for a very good price. Also the service is very good. When my computer crashed I needed a new download. Within 1 day i received the zip file. Comparing this tool and service to others you can be sure that it works and that you get great assistance.
I bought this plugin yesterday and closed the payment window before downloading! I emailed Mattias and he sent me a rar containing the files within minutes. The package was a snap to upload and install and worked as advertised out of the box. When I had trouble getting my articles to open in the JCE popup window, I emailed Mattias and he replied, opened the site and diagnosed then fixed the problem within minutes! MINUTES! Bravo to this developer for creating a cool Joomla plugin and supporting the hell out of it! I will never hesitate to buy his work.
I use this extension couple a weeks and my decision is two stars. Why?
1. Need better formatting options for content
2. Hard load - is hard for server to work with this extension, maybe php code is not well optimized. My host company say me: "buy vps from 50 euro monthly".
3. Crons are not working well. If you want to make huge site that retrieve many feeds from many sources and will work automatically is impossible to work on shared host.

This component does exactly what it says it can do. +++
I do have one question. I am not sure how to contact the developer. I am having issues with the cron job timing out with too much memory usage. Is there any setting I can adjust to allow only parts of my rss list to be run at a time. Sort of a batch?
This would be hugely helpful!
Thanks.

Thank you!!! And of course also Thank you to all other Reviewers below!!!
Please use the Contact Form on my website for contacting me. I help you!!!
This is one of the best component that i have come across.It has made my work very easy and must say thanks to Mattias for all the support that he given me.He is a dedicated developer who is willing to help his clients and very quick to respond to mails.I must say top support.I had problems with the setup but Mattias made the whole thing running and it's looking great.I recomend everyone to try out this great component.
This is a great extension. This offered the exact solution I was looking for. I have had some experience with developing components and modules for Joomla! 1.5 but didn’t have the time to put together a sound solution. When I ran into an issue with getting images to render, I contacted Matthias. He is quick to respond and was more than willing to help resolve any issues I was having getting the extension to configured the way I wanted it to work . I would recommend this extension to anyone.
I had some issues with getting the feeds to show on my content and the developer was very quick to step in and offer support. He was able to help me through the whole process and even offered to log in and assist. I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in a hand free blog. This product is worth much more than i paid. I saw other products on the market that cost 5x the amount of this one and dont offer anymore features. To Matthias thank you for all your help!
Your help in setting up the tweaks for Article Generator on my site has been impressive. Your response time and willingness to help exceeds those of other extension developers I have used. I had only some minor tweaks to have the articles display better and size the pop up window, which you configured for me, and the extension is now functioning great and looks great also. Your excellent customer service was, let's say nicely, refreshing compared to some other extension assistance I've experienced. I know that if you develop anything in the future I will certainly pay attention, and use if I can. I know it will function well out of the box, and, if needed, I will receive excellent support for anything I purchase from you.
I am not a complete newbie to Joomla but I look for the easy accessibility of support before buying/downloading any extension. The developer of this module replies promptly to emails and not only does he help in solving the problem, he also explains, inform and educate so much so that I feel I can also offer support to others on this extension. Thank you and well done, Mathias.
