NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader) Reviews

Excellent NNTP news app.

This is an excellent app. Makes reading newsgroups while travelling a breeze. The offline design on the app is reminiscent of offline Mail on old fashioned BBS systems, but much slicker. If you want to keep up with your favourite newsgroups while on the go, get this app, especially if you have unreliable or intermittent Internet service.

Latest version is VERY slow and buggy on iPad2

Old version worked fine. New version(Sep 2015) is confusing, hard to configure, keeps crashing, and is very slow. Not happy. IPad2...

Better than most

Very good news client. Has a few peculiarities but better than most. Haven't found any bugs yet.

Good value

This little app does exactly what it says that it will do, easily and efficiently. It is quick, works very effectively with a small iPod or iPhone screen, it is easy to configure and simple to operate. I wish more apps were as well designed as this one.

Great

Best Usenet reader I’ve found for IOS. Does everything I need it to do (reading, posting, browsing) in a simple, easy to understand and smooth interface. Thank you!

Well, it works at least

Unfortunately, it lumps EVERY message on the server into EVERY group. Example: I subscribed to only 3 or 4 groups. Every single message on the server shows up in each of the groups I subscribed to. Kinda pointless.

Loaded articles once, then they disappeared

After that articles won’t load again, tried following steps in the support section and no luck. Wish I could get my money back.

Works just fine

I have no idea what others are complaining about. Possibly setup wrong. Anyways, I use this every day now, after being away from Usenet for many years. It’s fast, the layout is fine on the iPad screen and it is easy to navigate. A bargain at $4.

Doesn’t work

Connection keeps closing without retrieving any articles.
