Description
NewsTap Lite is a Usenet Newsreader for the iPhone, iPad and the iPod Touch.
"NewsTap Lite" is the free version of the "NewsTap" App. "NewsTap Lite" is a fully functional Usenet Newsreader, but it does not support all features of the "NewsTap" App. The Lite version only supports one server and can only subscribe to two group.
Features of NewsTap Lite:

- Supports filters to mark articles as read or mark them with a certain color.
- 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.
- A „tree view“ of a whole discussion makes is super easy to follow even large discussions.

Please check out the full version if you want to read more than 2 groups, need newsrc syncing and if you do not want to see iAds.
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
Not very "iPhone" but good otherwise
Applying the complicated, nested nature of Usenet to an iPhone app wasn't going to be easy - and it shows.
Despite this, I like this app, and use it regularly - I will be upgrading to the full version.
Photo Album?
where is that? I can’t save any pics now, have to save via other app.
Having brought back saving to photos this update has removed that function and even the view full screen.
still have no idea how to view/save a picture that is too large to post as single file and is split in multiple parts eg …jpgA[1/2],…jpgA[2/2]
Limited but useful free version
Free version is limited but still does what I need.
