It's a usenet newsreader ...
... in 2026, with recent fixes, on iOS. I mean, that should be enough, but it's also pretty pleasant to use, obvious to configure, uses proper newsrc files and ... really, there is nothing here to complain about.

Update problem
Unable to reply any posts after recent update, please have it fixed.
Good but isolated
It's a nice app. An oldie too.
One thing I think is curious is that it still doesn't have a url-scheme, so you can't share a post with someone else. I'd like to see the developer create a url-scheme that can be used to jump to specific posts on specific servers, and also add sharing of posts and servers to the iOS share sheet. It can't be that hard. I get that it's niche but the whole app is niche. Own the niche I say.

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!
Zoom in original layout
Works terrible- scrolling of the zoomed text is impossible (Linux kernel newsgroups)
Articles saved in favorites do not contain links to relevant topics/replies and thus do not allow tracking discussions development.
Strange delay (~30 seconds ) in logs between successful save of config in cloud and news server connection

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.
Il “punto a capo” non funziona
Quando si visiona un post, i “punti a capo” non fanno andare a capo, ma fanno continuare sulla stessa riga.
Però ci sono, perché con Google group gli stessi post, si vedono con gli “a capo” funzionanti.
Inoltre si vede che ci sono anche quando si risponde al post.
Per il resto, tutto funziona benissimo.

Errore di connessione
La versione lite funziona perfettamente mentre quella a pagamento da errore di connessione allo stesso server.
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.
A perfect mobile NNTP client
This app’s offline-first, explicit sync connection model is perfect for the way NNTP works. It even has newsrc sync. I love it.
My one big big feature request that would make me happy beyond words is the option for a monospace font. I use NNTP for technical mailing lists with lots of code snippets or ASCII diagrams and those just don’t render properly with the single proportional font the app allows.
Thank you so much for keeping NNTP alive on iOS!

Works on the M1 !!
So reliable, very happy it works on the M1.
Doesn’t work
Connection keeps closing without retrieving any articles.
Super News-Programm
Tolles Programm vom iCab-Entwickler. Problemlos einzurichten und einfach zu benutzen. Mit diesem Programm machen Newsgroups wieder Spaß!
Killfiles need attention
As a usenet application it’s ok but the filters (killfiles) need the option to Delete posts. As it is, simply marking them as read still leaves them cluttering up the timeline.
A kill filter should do just that, kill the posts, ie delete them.
By definition they are not wanted, not just marked as read.

Easy to use
This app works well for my needs on both my iPhone and iPad. The developer is very quick with support.
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.
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.
Słaby jest
Nie możnadodać kilku tożsamości do jednego serwera.
W filtrach brak możliwości ustawienia by niepobierał określonych wiadomości. Jest możliwośćtylko oznaczenia jako przeczytanej oraz zawsze dostanie jakis kolor.
Dopóki autor czegoś z tym nie zrobi, to nie pobierajcie. Szkoda czasu.
