Very Nice An excellent newsreader and interface. My only suggestion would be to display connection error messages so that initial setups are understandable. In my case, I had forgotten that the group's port number had been changed and it took about half an hour of unsuccessfully trying to get a section list before I rechecked the port number. In addition to that, it took several tries before I noticed that the "login required" checkbox was cleared when any other changes to the newsgroup settings were made. Minimal help, such as explaining the "Filter" screen would be beneficial as well. Once connected, nice.***6/18/13 just upgraded to the "paid" version... cheap at the price!

Has quirks but works Had to manually create the Attach folder it was attempting to save files to before downloads would work. Increasing settings like # of headers seems to work after clearing the cache. Hangs once in a while but it does the job once you get things set up.

Excellent newsgroup client! This is by far the best NNTP and Usenet newsgroup client available. Go ahead and get the full version it is well worth the small charge for the app!

Scammer ads Phone is infected ads. Anyone that would use usenet I would think is smart enough not to fall for that crap anyway...
