NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader) Reviews

Loaded articles once, then they disappeared

TheShok on

United States

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

naddy6969 on

United States

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.

Works on the M1 !!

So reliable, very happy it works on the M1.

Doesn’t work

fcardoza59 on

United States

Connection keeps closing without retrieving any articles.

Works for me

MJH-! on

United States

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

Beernut66 on

United States

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

xyz_ on

United States

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

AirForce MSgt on

United States

Disconnects without loading articles.

Is it any good

Cybersco on

United States

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.

All the features they list work well, except one, viz., "Filters (also known as "Killfile") can automatically mark articles as read or mark them with a certain color.” This is not quite right: every article filtered to be marked as read must also be color labeled. I would rather not have articles that I want to ignore stand out in the list of articles. I wish it weren’t necessary to have articles marked as read automatically color marked; but I also wish there were an option to have certain articles automatically deleted.
