I would argue with his premise that there are no good usenet
 clients on either iOS or Android.  While there are none that are
 as powerful and flexible as some on desktop OS's, there are
 certainly at least 2 on each mobile OS that are very
 functional.

iOS : Newstap, YRNewsHD
Android: Nntp News Rearder, Groundhog.  Note there are many more
 on Android, those are the only two I've actually
 used.
