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
It doesn't support yEnc
I dunno why make a reader that doesn't support yenc especially when 90% of the binary files are yenc encoded. It's like making a web browser that doesn't read jpeg. for a half-done reader.
Ne fonctionne plus
Depuis la dernière mise a jour, impossible de récupérer les articles avec iPad sous iOs 7.
Latest Version is broken
I used NewsTap for several years and found it a solid nntp news client. Then a major update came out, and since then it has not worked at all for me.It would connect to servers, download group lists, and subscribe to groups, but it would never download any news.
I deleted and reinstalled the latest version (updated within the past week) and now it won’t even download the group list. Just sits and spins trying to connect to the server, and finally gives up. I’ve tried multiple servers and ports that work fine with my Mac news client.
