Decent overall
As others have said it’s the best USENET reader available. It has many good functions and works well overall. Honestly it’s one of the main reasons I’m not switching from iOS to Android at this time. I would like to see a few enhancements though: — quote selected text. This is a vital function of newsreaders which helps trim down long messages. — the internal browser has stopped working reliably. It will bring up a website but never complete rendering it. — an Android version.

Can’t see articles
The app does a ton of work downloading groups and showing how many articles are in them, but it stops there. I’d like a simple way to see a list of those articles and then read some. Those areas do not populate.
