"Diiva is a nice program for weeding through the thousands of GIFs and JPEGs that are posted online daily, but it's not without its quirks and shortcomings. For $5.00 a month, you can subscribe to Diiva's preview server, which creates thumbnail previews of most of the files that are posted to the binary graphics newsgroups; Diiva then displays those previews on your screen. Frequently, however, many pics display "Preview Not Available" instead of a thumbnail; just as frequently, the wrong thumbnail is displayed for some pictures. Also, there is no ability to mark a picture, thread or newsgroup as being read; nor are crossposts marked as already read (or viewed). This leads to a lot of "I've already seen these previews!" Still, Diiva is better than downloading hundreds or thousands of pictures and sifting through them to find something good. The previews let you download only the pictures whose thumbnail preview looks interesting. It's a good program that needs some work and feature additions/enhancements, particularly the ability to mark posts & groups as read (or in this case, viewed)."

"Diiva fills a great need for Mac users who download images from the usenet. Instead of the laborious process of downloading an image at a time, and then having to delete the ones you don't want, Diiva gives preview images, so you only download what you want, or else you can tell it to download all images in all your favourite newsgroups, while you're having lunch, then delete the unwanted ones with a single click. It saves a huge amount of work for me. It's so intuitive I only had to click it open and it set itself up, without any human configuration needed!"

"Buyer beware, this company does not reply to emails, the application does not work with my ISP and your credit card will be billed recurring monthly charges to get the alleged full feature set. Stick with your free newsreaders or Baker; this developer gives shareware a bad name."
