Description
NewsTap is a powerful Usenet Newsreader for the iPad, iPhone and the iPod Touch.
Features:
- Optimized for offline usage, so you can read and write news articles without an internet connection
- It's easy and simple to subscribe, manage and read news groups.
- Filters (also known as "Killfile") can automatically mark articles as read or mark them with a certain color.
- The application fully supports the portrait and landscape mode.
- Support for binary groups (photos and other files). Photos and pictures can be displayed directly. It's possible to add photos into the photo album or open them in other Apps.
- Quotes are displayed in different colors. Colors are also used to distinguish between read and unread articles, filtered articles.
- Hyperlinks are automatically detected and can be opened in a web browser.
- Optimized article layout for the small iPhone display. The original article layout is also available.
- Navigate within the articles from within the thread view or simply by flipping to the next/previous article with your finger.
- A graphical „tree view“ visualizes a complete discussion and makes it super-easy to follow and participate discussions.
- It's possible to hide articles that are already read and to hide quotes.
- Sync the read/unread states of the articles using a „newsrc“ file with other usenet client. The sync can be done via SFTP, WebDAV, Dropbox and iCloud.
- Post new articles or send followups.
- Build-in help, which explains all the application features.

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
Fantastica
Es una de las pocas aplicaciones que he pagado y no me arrepiento de ello, funciona a la perfeccion, nunca me ha dado un error, y la actualizan continuamente para adaptarla a los ultimos firmwares.
Llevo ya muchos años usandola primero en el 3G y despues en el i4 para conectarme a las news de la uni y de verdad que no puedo decir nada malo sobre ella.
Un eficiente cliente de Usenet sin igual en su ámbito
La verdad es que agradece que alguien se haya molestado en desarrollar un cliente de Usenet para el iPad. Cumple notablemente bien con su cometido y luce un innovador método para visualizar los mensajes de los hilos en forma de organigrama, al más puro estilo de un árbol genealógico. Sin embargo, se echa en falta una opción de auto-refresco para los grupos y opciones por defecto para los grupos a los que te vayas a suscribir. Por otro lado, no estoy seguro de que cargue realmente todos los mensajes pertenecientes a un hilo, de modo que pueden influir bastante los parámetros de carga y visualización de cada grupo.
Por lo demás, puedo decir que es de lo mejor que te puedes encontrar para el iPad, por no decir que es prácticamente lo único. Vale cada céntimo que cuesta. Lo considero una compra recomendada —aunque es más bien una inversión por lo bien que cunde— si eres novato (como yo) o adicto a los grupos de noticias que pueblan la red de redes desde hace más de 30 años.
Probadlo, no os arrepentiréis.
