NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader) Screenshots

Description

NewsTap is a powerful Usenet Newsreader for the iPhone and the iPod Touch.

Features:
– Optimized for offline usage, so you can read and write news articles without an internet connection (important for the iPod Touch and if your news server is not accessible through a telephone line or foreign WLAN hotspots). With a simple tap of your finger, the app will download all the new articles and send your own ones to the news groups in one short transaction. The internet connection is only needed for a very short time.

– 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.

– Limited support for binary groups so photos and pictures can be displayed as well. It's possible to add photos into the photo album of the iPod or iPhone.

– Quotes are displayed in different colors. Colors are also used to distinguish between read and unread articles, locked articles and your own articles.

– Hyperlinks are automatically detected and can be opened in the web browser Safari.

– 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.

– It's possible to hide articles that are already read and to hide quotes.

– Post new articles or send followups.

– Build-in help, which explains all the application features.

Customer Reviews

Limited features (3 stars)
Can't "watch" or "ignore" a thread. It is Annoing to see the headers for something I'm not going to read every time I sync. It takes a few extra taps to delete each one. Otherwise it works no problem.

A good start (3 stars)
This app is promising but has a long way to go before it offers the power and features of a full news package such as Newsleecher. Binary support is pretty weak.

Great newsreader! (5 stars)
Excellent NNTP newsreader. Use it every day.
