What are users saying about PhoNews Newsgroup Reader

G70%
by G####:

This is the best Usenet reader for Android I've come across so far. It has threaded message views and the reply function works fine. It doesn't do pictures very well at all. A way to blacklist people would be great. Overall, pretty good!

S70%
by S####:

Works flawlessly. It isn't very configurable, but does what it needs to do well enough.

B70%
by B####:

It's a bit awkward to use.

Q70%
by Q####:

Bought the upgrade so I could post. Still doesn't work. I should have checked more reviews.... waste of money.

A70%
by A####:

A hierarchical tree alternative view for selection would b useful

Q70%
by Q####:

I can read the news on my tablet everywhere. Easy to set up with aioe or eternal-september. Simple in use with not a lot of options obscuring.

Q70%
by Q####:

Just few subjects (not all), no bodies.

R70%
by R####:

Can't log in. Uninstalled.

Q70%
by Q####:

Doesn't allow you to enter in username and password.

P70%
by P####:

Instructions missing, totally un-intuitive. Not a single clue as to how to make it fetch a list of active newsgroups. Can't make head nor tail of it. Sorry it goes in the digital WPB

N70%
by N####:

Bought the upgrade so I could post. Still doesn't work. I should have checked more reviews.... waste of money.

Q70%
by Q####:

Never could load group listings. This app should be deleted from the market.

Q70%
by Q####:

US only date style, no html messages. Have not tested posting as expected reader only (as title says). Terminal readers in chroot are better for now.

C70%
by C####:

Attachments show up as ASCII text. Uninstalled

M70%
by M####:

Cannot mark individual thread as read. Wish I had stayed with the old version. I uninstalled and reinstalled but that seems to have made things worse. Cannot sort messages by date so most recent is at the top. The write new message button is in the wrong place you can never see how many posts are in the last group it should be on the options dropdown.

X70%
by X####:

Good for mobile usenet access

S70%
by S####:

Ein Newsreader der keine Postings beantworten kann? Soll das ein Witz sein? Warum steht das nicht in der Beschreibung, dass das hier nur eine Testversion sein soll? Funktion kann man in der App dazukaufen. Warum wird das nicht vorher deutlich mitgeteilt? Keine Ahnung was da dann noch für Einschränkungen dranhängen. Kosten Umlaute auch extra? Sind längere Postings inklusiv? Wie bewerte ich das jetzt sinnvoll? Die App kann News lesen. Die App kann keine Antworten schreiben und man erfährt das erst, nachdem man einige Zeit mit dem Programm verschwendet hat. Macht also die Hälfte von dem, was ein Newsreader tun soll. Halbe Punktzahl, abgerundet.

Perfect app for reading my university's news group

Y70%
by Y####:

I like it for the most part. A few little tweeks would get more stars from me. A reading pane along with the thread pane, keeping the entire thread together - not breaking into a new thread with the same topic for same level replies.

Y70%
by Y####:

Found the offline functionality does not work and just assumed it was in the paid upgrade. So I paid, still no luck and two weeks ago I emailed for help. Sent a few polite follow up pleas and still no reply to any email. Yes, its the prettiest usenet client out there, but without offline article reading and a kill fill, I will be keeping with Groundhog.

Y70%
by Y####:

Good: Easy server and subscription setup. Postings are technically correct. Bad: A bit too simple user interface (settings only in main menu). Contains adware, but no posting without paid upgrade (up to CHF 2.09) except in test groups. No fixed-width font. Cannot view or test what I would be paying for. No updates since months. Uninstalled.

Y70%
by Y####:

In theory could be good but won't even let you compose a post - totally useless garbage in its current state.

Y70%
by Y####:

Creating and reading posts is easy.

I70%
by I####:

Very very very slow. So slow I am not even sure it works properly. Refreshing endlessly. Trying to see all messages of a binary group in Giganews.

J70%
by J####:

Fails with server connection every time and have to refresh way too many times to read any messages

F70%
by F####:

Great work!

A70%
by A####:

Unreliable. Can connect to server about 5% of the time. When it can connect, it can never read the articles. It always gives an error. There is no way to modify any of the connection settings after they are saved. The only way to change them is to create a new connections settings entry and delete the old one.

Y70%
by Y####:

Very well for retry reading.

B70%
by B####:

Looking forward to the version that allows posting.

A70%
by A####:

Can't change characters encode one by one in server setting. Waiting improve!

R70%
by R####:

Works perfectly uses only built-in GUI elements, so it integrates well! Five stars!

S70%
by S####:

Simple and usable. It would be nice support for other char encodings

Y70%
by Y####:

Lacking

Y70%
by Y####:

This seems like a really good start for a newsreading app. One missing feature I consider critical is the ability to just mark posts as read.

Y70%
by Y####:

Does not work on my HTC Wildfire. It installs and pretends it is doing.sometjing, but it is killingly slow and keeps crashing. I would not tecomend!

Y70%
by Y####:

Only few bodies. Can't edit server settings. No abillity to post a message.
