Reviews of NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader)

Leave a Review NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader)
  • 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.
