NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader) Reviews
Fantastica
Es una de las pocas aplicaciones que he pagado y no me arrepiento de ello, funciona a la perfeccion, nunca me ha dado un error, y la actualizan continuamente para adaptarla a los ultimos firmwares.
Llevo ya muchos años usandola primero en el 3G y despues en el i4 para conectarme a las news de la uni y de verdad que no puedo decir nada malo sobre ella.
Un eficiente cliente de Usenet sin igual en su ámbito
La verdad es que agradece que alguien se haya molestado en desarrollar un cliente de Usenet para el iPad. Cumple notablemente bien con su cometido y luce un innovador método para visualizar los mensajes de los hilos en forma de organigrama, al más puro estilo de un árbol genealógico. Sin embargo, se echa en falta una opción de auto-refresco para los grupos y opciones por defecto para los grupos a los que te vayas a suscribir. Por otro lado, no estoy seguro de que cargue realmente todos los mensajes pertenecientes a un hilo, de modo que pueden influir bastante los parámetros de carga y visualización de cada grupo.
Por lo demás, puedo decir que es de lo mejor que te puedes encontrar para el iPad, por no decir que es prácticamente lo único. Vale cada céntimo que cuesta. Lo considero una compra recomendada —aunque es más bien una inversión por lo bien que cunde— si eres novato (como yo) o adicto a los grupos de noticias que pueblan la red de redes desde hace más de 30 años.
Probadlo, no os arrepentiréis.
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.
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
