Comments on Usenet NewsReader for Android

★★★★★ The newsreader itself is great. Probably the best one for Android. Problem is, Usenet died long ago and only it's ashes remain. Facebook killed it.

★★★★★ Great app, some room for improvement I'm giving it 4 stars because my Usenet provider doesn't use port 563 for SLL, but that seems to be the only SSL port that functions with this app. It seems the text box for the port is ignored, and it still tries to use 563 anyway. If this minor issue gets resolved, this is easily a 5-star app and I will update my review appropriately. Still well worth the purchase!

★★★★★ Excellent! This is by far the best newsgroup app available for Android devices. It's well worth the small charge!

★★☆☆☆ Joining multipart messages does not work. If you try to combine and decode a multipart yEnc post, it just freezes with the time wheel. Message says, sync: 0 or sync:-1. Don't waist you money on this. Joining messages has been around for over 15 years. Big missing function. Stick with the free version for single part messages. Also, no updates in a long time.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't synchronize at all on newer android os. Seems to be abandoned since years. So better don't waste your money.

★★☆☆☆ Since the last update the app will no longer open. It crashes immediately. Longer messages can not be read as there's no way to scroll down to see the full text. Has been one of my most used apps but sadly no longer workable.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work. The free app works better. All I get in the paid version is a successful connection but failures to actually update the feeds.
