★★★★★
The Best Avail. for Text Groups Better than the Google Groups interface, IMO. A "collapse all threads" option might be nice... and "Go to first unread." But maybe it's best left as is... simple, no bloat.
★★★★★
Very good effort, needs some work, but best reader for Android overall
★★★★★
No sorting capability Works okay until you realize you can't sort it, not even by date. Please fix. However, other than that, it is a good client.
★★★★★
Not perfect, but overall the best Android usenet reader available. The author is very responsive to feedback and comments.
★★☆☆☆
Not what a news reader should be. Downloads entire bodies instead of headers, fails in spring threads. Have a look at the late David Wong's work on SourceForge for ideas on making this right.
★★☆☆☆
Simply doesn't work. Connects to news server but can't find newsgroups
★★☆☆☆
RETARDED! Only downloads full articles, not just headers. Downloads OLDEST articles first. Takes FOREVER to get to current articles. Optimus V
★★☆☆☆
Crashes while threading groups. Unusable on my milestone. Happened after banning some authors in a group if that helps any. No BG fetch. No unread #.
