NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader)

Works great now with IOS9

...with GigaNews.

Since the last update, writing has become a lot more difficult. The writing space is reduced. If you have an iPhone 5 it might be ok, but not with previous iPhones. Landscape mode is a disaster on any iPhone (even 5): you only have two "lines" of space available to check the text and write your own. iPad's okay, though it feels weird having the subject at the bottom of the page. Also, activating iCloud freezes the app. I suggest you do not update until a fix to the above-mentioned problems can be found.

Programmet är fortfarande lite instabilt och lite långsamt, men förhoppningsvis kommer det att rättas till. Dessutom tycker jag att delar av interfacet skulle må bra av att vara lite mer välpolerade. Bortsett från det tycker jag att programmet funkar helt ok, och jag kan definitivt rekommendera det.

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

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.

So reliable, very happy it works on the M1.

Connection keeps closing without retrieving any articles.

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.

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.
