- Navigate within the articles from within the thread view or simply by flipping to the next/previous article with your finger.

- A graphical „tree view“ visualizes a complete discussion and makes it super-easy to follow and participate discussions.

- It's possible to hide articles that are already read and to hide quotes.

- Sync the read/unread states of the articles using a „newsrc“ file with other usenet client. The sync can be done via SFTP, WebDAV, Dropbox and iCloud.

- Build-in help, which explains all the application features.

## NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader) Reviews in Соединенные Штаты

### ***** "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!
-- fstrelok, 2024-10-28

### **--- "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.
-- WYCowboy911, 2024-09-13

### *---- "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.
-- TheShok, 2021-10-15

### ***** "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.
-- naddy6969, 2021-08-23

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
Connection keeps closing without retrieving any articles.
-- fcardoza59, 2021-03-26

### ***** "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.
-- MJH-!, 2020-01-06

### *---- "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.
-- Beernut66, 2019-06-17

### **--- "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
-- xyz_, 2018-09-21

### *---- "Useless"
Disconnects without loading articles.
-- AirForce MSgt, 2018-08-21

### **--- "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.
-- Cybersco, 2017-02-24

### ****- "oijewrjn"
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.
-- MJF1967, 2016-01-05

### *---- "Used to be a good app"
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.
-- SciFi_Reader62, 2015-11-26

### ***** "great newsreader - love this ipad version"
This is an update to my old review - this app remains 5 stars - it works just fine & allows me to still enjoy the newsgroups I've followed/participated in for decades(!), now. It's unfortunate that people are complaining about account issues and what must be general ignorance of Usenet and blaming the app, itself. It works fine, it works fine for multiple groups, it posts and updates just fine ... 5 stars. 

I've been using newstap on the iphone for several years, now, and it worked fine, for me.  But this ipad version is great - the extra screen real estate is used very nicely.  Now, I don't care about binaries, I just care about reading my favorite few groups.  rmgd lives!
-- jminpa, 2015-10-18

### **--- "NewsTap *used to be* much faster..."
I'm a long-time, relatively happy NewsTap user, despite the occasional scrambled article list or crash. But recently I "upgraded" to the latest version, and what a shock!  

Everything is five to ten times slower, with "Delete old articles" being the most egregious. 

What happened?  Is it now running on a Turing machine simulation?  ;-(

I'd love to be able to "downgrade" to the older version...it wasn't fast, but it was so much faster than the new one.

Update on Oct. 7:
For no obvious reason, NewsTap's speed has improved remarkably. Now it seems that it's a bit faster than the old version. 

I don't know what happened, but I like it!
-- Matterenergy, 2015-10-09

### *---- "Difinitely Broken"
Won't load more than one newsgroup, won't display photos, can't delete groups of unread messages, hangs if any other function selected during a download ... nice try, but no cigar. Eagerly awaiting a working version ...
-- JonsBlog, 2015-10-08

### *---- "Yup, new version broken"
When iOS 9 came out it killed the old version, which I liked very much.   Shortly, there was a new version for iOS9...   it won't retrive articles so it's useless too.
-- Billy3827, 2015-10-05

### *---- "Broken"
Been using it for years, but this update is broken. Not picking up messages, lost messages that hadn't been read, can't scroll through all messages in a group
-- Jloyless, 2015-10-04

### *---- "Broken by iOS 9"
Can't load groups or post to groups since installing iOS 9.       Hope you'll fix.
-- CCCee, 2015-09-18

### *---- "Doesn't work and non existent support!"
After purchasing the software, and the newsfeed connection, I wasn't able to get NEWSTAP to make the connection to the newsfeed, even after following the step by step instructions. The newsfeed company helped confirm the configuration I was using but it still didn't work. I emailed the developer of the over a week ago and have yet to hear from him or his organization.

I'm now looking for another interface for my newsnet feed!
-- midwicket, 2015-01-01

### ***** "Best one"
The only decent NNTP client for mobile.
-- tandauioan, 2014-11-03
