PhoNews Newsgroup Reader Customer Insights

1. It displays the article links but when trying to read the post it says article not found.Not able to filter or even delete Spam so one newsgroup displays nearly only Spam and you have to scroll to get to real posts.

2. Very poor design.The only Usenet newsreader you will ever need on AndroidCrashes all the time, ad placement horrible, doesn't work for the most part and can't do much even if it worked rightOk once I had discovered how to get a listing.

3. Every single time the app fails to load it plays an ad, I don't think this is intentional but it definitely feels insulting.Loads the same 50 or so headers with no way to refresh or retrieve new posts.

4. Taken a couple of stars off due to the frustration experienced when it loses server connection, then downloads multiple copies of the same messages, making navigation impossible.

5. Subscription process is counterintuitive -- after checking a group to add it you have to back out and return to load messages.

6. Phone user.great except I cannot post to groups after purchasing the app.

7. It's too buggy and unreliableThe app crashes often and rarely can actually pull up posts, often failing to pull text from the provider.

8. Only problem now is when you are responding, your work disappears if you touch the screen in the wrong place.

9. The only workaround is to delete and resubscribe to all groups.Purchased upgrade.

10. Nice and simple to configure and use, but struggles to cope when a topic has numerous deeply nested threads.

11. Can't delete or sort downloaded messages.
