Reviews of NewsTap Lite (Usenet Reader)

Leave a Review NewsTap Lite (Usenet Reader)
  • Can’t see articles

    The app does a ton of work downloading groups and showing how many articles are in them, but it stops there. I’d like a simple way to see a list of those articles and then read some. Those areas do not populate.
  • Good news reader

    Works pretty well. The author has done a fine job. It’s not perfect though. And it’s very limited. Below comments are intended to be constructive not negative.

    The limit of one server and two groups is pretty stingy, even for a trial version. I would suggest 2 servers and 6 groups would be less scrooge-like.

    The help function is fairly good but a nice touch would be a downloadable tutorial. This is a complicated app so takes a little study to master.

  • Decent overall

    As others have said it’s the best USENET reader available. It has many good functions and works well overall. Honestly it’s one of the main reasons I’m not switching from iOS to Android at this time.

    I would like to see a few enhancements though:
    — quote selected text. This is a vital function of newsreaders which helps trim down long messages.
    — the internal browser has stopped working reliably. It will bring up a website but never complete rendering it.
    — an Android version.
