Comments on PhoNews Newsgroup Reader for Android

★★★★★ Needs better group handling A hierarchical tree alternative view for selection would b useful

★★★★★ Awesome Works perfectly uses only built-in GUI elements, so it integrates well! Five stars!

★★★★★ Excellent app Simple and usable. It would be nice support for other char encodings

★★★★★ Good newsreader but... I like it for the most part. A few little tweeks would get more stars from me. A reading pane along with the thread pane, keeping the entire thread together - not breaking into a new thread with the same topic for same level replies.

★★★★★ This is the best Usenet reader for Android I've come across so far. It has threaded message views and the reply function works fine. It doesn't do pictures very well at all. A way to blacklist people would be great. Overall, pretty good!

★★☆☆☆ Nice and simple to configure and use, but struggles to cope when a topic has numerous deeply nested threads. Taken a couple of stars off due to the frustration experienced when it loses server connection, then downloads multiple copies of the same messages, making navigation impossible. The only workaround is to delete and resubscribe to all groups.

★★☆☆☆ Nice Interface, Slow Took 5 min to load the group list, and only got to the Bs. Maybe should be search only.

★★☆☆☆ Blah Bought the upgrade so I could post. Still doesn't work. I should have checked more reviews.... waste of money.
