A Usenet client for your android device that downloads your fav ISO files, hell yeah!! Plus it's free, but please buy the premium version, not only because you receive premium features, but to support future updates
★★★★☆Mike Butler· Dec 12, 2024
Very poor UI. You often can't read file details as the syllables overlap. Also freezes regularly, and I have to force close the app and re-open to get full function back. That all said it does work. I added my NZB indexer and Usenet credentials without too much fuss. Only 2 connections allowed in the free version, unlimited in premium. Download speed isn't perfect, but it hasn't dropped out so far. One plus point is you can stream a media file whilst it's downloading.
★★★★☆Daniel Eberle· Jul 10, 2023
So far so good! NZBLeech stopped unpacking the files reliably for some reason, so I tried out Usenet Panda. So far seems pretty reliable and easier to use. I would like it to delete the nzb file after import, but it's not that much of an issue if you just use the built-in indexer function. And I could see the ability to stream the files while downloading very useful sometimes.

App looks great... If you know what you're doing... but certainly not user-friendly for rubies. No clue how to configure any of the server stuff, or how to go about finding that info. Complete lack of instructions or how to find guidance on set up / terminology so that without a decent working knowledge of the nuts and bolts of usenet, I doubt anyone's going to get very far. Pity as The app looks really well put together and well-designed otherwise.

Can't view files, can't view settings can't view anything except the search without seeing the forced message to upgrade to premium. You really expect me or any user to upgrade after that kind of experience? Mental, absolutely mental.

Wanted to try this since it looked promising. But it's not working properly. Keeps insisting that I'm running adblock on this phone, which I do not. After that it disables all functionality. Can't even access your data.

Boox palma permissions do not work granted acess or use of storage but doesn't work its probably due to android 11 wish this would work be so easy to get what I want to read

Subscribe to see full permission and library details
Trust & Safety: The app requests standard network and background operation permissions (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, POST_NOTIFICATIONS, READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, WAKE_LOCK) plus licensing and ad-identification permissions. It also uses a dynamic receiver permission. This profile aligns with typical download-manager behavior and background update/licensing needs; no highly sensitive permissions beyond what is expected for a download/streaming app.
Each subscription will automatically renew 3 days before the expiration date for
the same time period. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time before the renewal.
