Usenet NewsReader

Do not waste your money. The free version works fine for the 3 groups I follow. The paid version can only read 1 of them. Just briefly flashes "Failure" for the other 2. ZERO response from the developer(s).

As another review said, this stopped working when on Marshmallow. No development since 2014.

Filter blocks entire newsgroups.

The option to turn off 'delete old articles' would be quite handy but other than, good work.

Has stopped opening messages now My Galaxy A3 has upgraded to Marshmallow.

The view option of showing only unread does not work in latest version 1.64 on Nexus 7 2013. Always shows all threads and posts. Please fix!

Pretty good, even if it lacks some of the features usually found in a full-fledged desktop-PC newsreader.

What good is it if it does not decode yenc. Most jpg posts use yenc

Crashes when trying to open a newsgroup on Android N

Body text no longer wraps at screen edge for me which makes reading articles very difficult . Using Nexus 5X with Android 6.0.1 and February 2016 security fixes

Thank you for fixing download problems in version 1.61. All is well again.

Won't load article bodies

Cool

I've tried a number of Usenet readers for android and this stands out as being the clearest and most intuitive (for me at least). Really impressed with this though there are a couple of things that could be improved a little (capitalising the first letter of a sentence). When I've had questions, these have been answered very quickly

The latest update, introducing the "improved" interface, pretty much killed this app. It went from lean, clean, and well written to somewhat confusing and unpolished. Update: the new release(s) is much, much improved. Back up to 4*

Has more functionality than I expected. The ability to mark all posts "read" when catching up is particularly useful. having tried several newsreader apps this is the one I've settled on.

The latest update, introducing the "improved" interface, pretty much killed this app. It went from lean, clean, and well written to somewhat confusing and unpolished. The ubiquitous warning message was never finished and passes a blank variable meant to notify what action is being performed. I paid for this and now have a very rough beta version. I gave it a second star for potential.

Pretty good, even if it lacks some of the features usually found in a full-fledged desktop-PC newsreader.

This is the best Usenet client I have ever used, not only on Android either, but windows as well. The only usenet reader you will ever need. Excellent.... Try it and buy it...... The developer deserves your support, because this client is wonderful....

I'm giving it 4 stars because my Usenet provider doesn't use port 563 for SLL, but that seems to be the only SSL port that functions with this app. It seems the textbox for the port is ignored and it still tries to use 563 anyway. If this minor issue gets resolved, this is easily a 5 star app and I will update my review appropriately. Still well worth the purchase!

Been using the (free) version for several months and liked it better and better the more I used it. He's packed all of the features I need into a small package, and, while some of them may take a while to "discover" they make nntp access not only possible but easy when mobile. I've reached the crossover point where I prefer accessing the groups I participate in on the Nexus7 over treking to my desktop and firing up ThunderBird as I have been doing for almost two decades. This "paid" version has additional benefits plus no ads which is a nice step up from the free version. In addition, there is a server settings "save" and "restore" option in both versions that makes upgrading painless, but, I suggest taking screenshots of the settings screen as that does not port when upgrading.

The program is incomplete and needs further development of headline download, message display, and yEnc file naming routines. So far, so good, but lots of rough edges need attention. The author responds to questions and presumably is continuing development, so there's hope that it will eventually be ready for prime time. I am prepared to upgrade my rating when the author finishes this good but incomplete program.

This is by far the best newsgroup app available for Android devices. It's well worth the small charge!

yEnc reads much better now thank you. Have adjusted my rating now. Thanks...
