NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader) Reviews
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.
Works for me
Been using this app for a while now as my usenet reader. Never had any of the problems mentioned in other reviews. Works as advertised for me.
Disconnects
After downloading all the newsgroups, program disconnects while downloading the descriptions. I’ve tried several times and waisted many, many minutes in the process. It does this EVERY time! Very frustrating! At this point, it’s unusable.
App cant request permissions to save photos
So you cannot save photos. At least it crashes each time i try to save a photo. Which makes this not useful at all. For me
Useless
Disconnects without loading articles.
Is it any good
I have no idea, I have never been able to do anything with this app. I will have to take other's word that it actually does something. If you are stupid, like me, give a pass on this app and find another app which doesn't require a PhD to operate.
