NewsGroup Reader

Doesnt work

Installed on Galaxy Note 2 - went to Test Connection - and received error "Unfortunately, NewsGroup has stopped".

I just tested it on many images coded in yenc. It is not something I would give a high rating yet but it is in early development. It works

Does not work. I finished all configurations, but when sending a new post to server, it says Failure: Illegal character in local name... And hangs without any reaction to any buttons. The only way to go back is to kill the app in app manager, and start again. Which character code table to choose from the list.....????

Had to manually create the Attach folder it was attempting to save files to before downloads would work. Increasing settings like # of headers seems to work after clearing the cache. Hangs once in a while but it does the job once you get things set up.

Usenet is mainly unmoderated, which means is crawling flooders, trolls and spammers. You need to be able to filter this garbage out easily! So beats me why anyone would make a Usenet reader without a "plonk".

So far so good, setup pretty easy that's if the user can read.

There is a problem when posting attachments. They will not be correctly decoded when viewed with e.g. Thunderbird.

Maybe I am thick but I couldn't get it too work:-(

Using Samsung S7 Edge. Tested the newsgroup connection is okay. Can load the message header but cannot load the message content

Login credentials of news servers including the passwords are stored in plain text file config.ini. This free app places an advertising banner into each and every posting sent to servers.

Any text I type in a new posting is cleared out when posted to the NewsGroup. Only good for reading NewsGroup postings

Now if I can figure out how to combine and decode this will become a 5 star app!

This is not an easy app to set up or use. Not sure what's happening or why. I am using my regular news server and typed in the name of the group I wanted (which begins with rec) but only three choices appeared. There should be one hundred at least.

In the groups manager, it should mention that a long press will also allow you to edit the server and user settings. Not clear how to mark a group or all groups as read.

Phone is infected ads. Anyone that would use usenet I would think is smart enough not to fall for that crap anyway...

The "show unread button" no longer works, I now need to go through all those "read" threads to read new posts...

Doesnt work anymore since last update from September 6th. Could not load the article. Shame. Before that worked perfectly.

Does the job nicely, best there is for Android. Thanks.

An excellent newsreader and interface. My only suggestion would be to display connection error messages so that initial setups are understandable. In my case, I had forgotten that the group's port number had been changed and it took about half an hour of unsuccessfully trying to get a section list before I rechecked the port number. In addition to that, it took several tries before I noticed that the "login required" checkbox was cleared when any other changes to the newsgroup settings were made. Minimal help, such as explaining the "Filter" screen would be beneficial as well. Once connected, nice.***6/18/13 just upgraded to the "paid" version... cheap at the price!

No yenc? And you call yourselves a news group reader... shame on you!

Love its functions of saving attachment n sharing.

Good job! It would be better if theme setting can be added in the coming version. I prefer dark theme reading white words on black background

會無法進入,FC!

...the support is first class, two bugs were corrected in a matter of hours... Try it!!!! Fabio

Latest update to v 1.6 doesn't work. Cannot download posts. Worked well before the update. PLEASE FIX IT!

This is by far the best NNTP and Usenet newsgroup client available. Go ahead and get the full version it is well worth the small charge for the app!

Doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy s5.

I cannot even configure the app. It just keeps on crashing every time I enter the configuration data.

May 2014 release no longer crashes and works with all servers I tested. So far so good. I will now give it a longer shakedown before giving 5 stars and purchasing :-) (July 8: done both)

Unlike the upgrade from 1.53 to 1.54 (which wiped all my newsgroup settings - ouch!), upgrading to 1.56 preserved them all.

!!!WARNING!!! Updating completely erases all settings & server info as if you have just installed this app for the first time. Now I have to figure out which server I use (I'm using a free one at the moment) plus all server settings needed & reconfigure this app to access my currently unknown nntp server. I honestly don't feel the time to do so is worth it & my time would be better spent finding a different app.

Supossed to be a new reader i setup my account with bintube but dossnot allow search or download anything at all its a complete waste of time paid version why when free version does nothing at all. Sad so much potential wasted in a useless crap app.

just like the other reviews, will not seup up my account and says it has stoped working...Oh well, time to uninstall and move on to another program...

Just crashes when i try to set up the nntp account.

Found my news server. But refuses to download anything. Then after a few minutes crashes forcing a restart. Uninstalled.
