Switching apps causes all entered text to disappear

Makes it hard to set up servers and connections. Not user-friendly, cannot recommend.
Only usenet reader app on iPhone

By dieburnbot (Pcmac user)

I think this software is great and the bugs with connecting to news servers have been fixed in this new version and it works fairly stable. It is a little difficult to use for instance if you want to go to the next and previous posts you have to slide your finger across the screen as opposed to pressing a single button to go forward and back. That's only a minor setback though. Also there should be an option to delete read posts without having to reconnect to your newsserver in order to process it. It would also be nice if it supported SSL and multiple connections to speed up header downloads. Other than those minor things it has everything I was looking for.
Odd Modal UI

By Marcushasfun (Pcmac user)

OK, so I enter a newsserver in settings and the app launches and since it's the first time it downloads all groups, right. Well not quite. Instead I go to a screen called Connect with a bunch if settings and a download button. Pressing this starts downloading the groups... MODALY!! Other tabs on the tab control are DISABLED!! But wait, it's a tab control? Huh? Well maybe initial setup is a bit odd... let's add a group to My Groups and dive into some articles. Adding makes sense, a plus button in the NavBar takes you to a list of all groups, tap one, and there it is in the My Groups list. OK so now I tap it and it takes me to the articles, right? Wrong. It takes you to an empty list. Hmmmm. What to do?No Refresh button in the NavBar. Maybe that odd Connect tab will help? Ah. That's it. Back to Connect, hit button... articles start to download... and WE ARE LOCKED OUT OF THE OTHER TABS AGAIN!!! Hey developer! Downloading content like the articles in a newsgroup is an action in the context of the current view (of the newsgroup), NOT a navigation to another tab and definitely not a modal operation!!!! Read the UI guidelines, they are extensive and very well written.
