What’s New
Version 5.5
Because of a bug in iOS 14 very large and deep threads could not be read properly anymore. So articles of the groups could not be accessed. The new release will include a workaround for this iOS 14 issue, so articles do no longer get lost. There was no such problem under iOS 13 or older.
Ratings and Reviews
Good but not worth 3 euros
It makes reading newsgroups easy, even enjoyable. Basic operations are effortless. I think the author reads usenet a lot and it shows. It only lacks a usable tree view for threads, which I'm sure will be dealt with in future versions.
Sadly, Alexander made the mistake often made by niche app programmers and priced it way beyond the app's value. Too bad, I'm seeing such insecurity suppressing wide adoption of too many good apps.
