NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader)

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!

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.

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.

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

Disconnects without loading articles.

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.

I used to use and recommend this app; but can no longer do so. Starting a couple of updates ago, I started getting the authentication issues and even after contacting the developer could not resolve the issue ( he could not duplicate it). I'm sure that I'm ever ring the user name and password correctly, as I can manually enter them on my laptop and access my newsgroups.
