U70%
by U####:

No yenc which is all binary images or mpg files. I give it a minus 5

U70%
by U####:

Menu does not work on GS7/Marshmallow. No way to get to it. Worked fine on GS4/Kitkat. Automatic notification does not always work. Cannot mark article as unread. No way to respond to a post.

X70%
by X####:

SSL support nonfunctional. Base64 decode failures cause a whole group to be unusable (rather than skipping that article)

U70%
by U####:

Usenet veterans will find their way around this app ok. Binary leechers may as well use a desktop. Needs more powerful filtering though. No damned advertising which is worth an extra star.

by U####:

What happened to the reply button? This app works great on my smart phone. I used to be able to reply to posts from my tablet to, but now there's no reply button anywhere.

U70%
by U####:

Crashes when opening comp.sys.raspberry-pi. No way to reorder groups.

V70%
by V####:

Crap. Doesn't even start up.

D70%
by D####:

This is an excellent nntp reader. I use it occasionally and it does the job all right. There are a few minor things that I miss though: a dark scheme, support for more than one nntp server and downloading only headers. But overally it's already very nice, fast and stable - keep up!

I have been reading Usenet on PC for many years. Groundhog was easy to set up and is a nice user interface. Very good indeed.

by S####:

Should not download the full article but only the headers at first. Don't know the other problems because uninstalled immediately.

Crafts every time I try to search for a group. Using giganews.

S70%

Connects to news server but can't find newsgroups

S70%

Makes it easy to keep up with the Monastery while on the road.

S70%
by S####:

Pity that the app's been abandoned :(

S70%
by S####:

Works okay until you realize you can't sort it, not even by date. Please fix. However, other than that, it is a good client.

S70%
by S####:

Ia like it. But we dont have a way tosort the threads.

I70%
by I####:

Can't see any point in this app - seems to have no way of managing articles.

F70%
by F####:

I can post a new thread, but the app crashes if I reply to a post. Crashes on help as well.

S70%
by S####:

Doesn't connect to any astraweb server, needs to give a more specific error instead of just blaming the user

Don't bother wi

S70%

Works well. Nice array of features.

S70%

Buggy version, does not tefresh messages in subscrined groups. Not very good on HTC WILDFIRE!

S70%
by S####:

This is the cat's pajamas.

R70%
by R####:

Not perfect, but overall the best Android usenet reader available. The author is very responsive to feedback and comments.

G70%
by G####:

Not as polished as I would hope for but allows me to keep up when away.

H70%
by H####:

Force close when searching for a group...

F70%
by F####:

Useless, crashes every time I search for groups.

V70%
by V####:

Too many missing features for serious newsgroup use.

S70%
by S####:

Does not connect to server

S70%
by S####:

Cannot sort group lists. Cannot DL binaries. Add these features and you just might have something!

M70%

X70%
by X####:

Main complaint is that I cannot search messages ..fulll message/replies are there too, rather than headers . so too much space is used up. Took agess to find Settings, this is an icon of a few strips at bottom of tablet, with other Android icons eg "home" tab and screenshot tab, not within prog.itself.

H70%
by H####:

Only downloads full articles, not just headers. Downloads OLDEST articles first. Takes FOREVER to get to current articles. Optimus V

T70%
by T####:

Usable offline mode ideal if only using wifi. Very good for a free product and if your use is for chatting not binaries in a small number of groups. Also helps cut down crosspost conflagrations.

X70%
by X####:

I find the UI tb visually ugly and am unable to find any means to collapse threads.....And downloading all bodies all the time is a nuisance.

X70%
by X####:

Works well, but sometimes a bit clunky - option to view collapsed thread list would be useful.
