Here is a quick summary of the initial tests, which were simply to add the free nntp server news.mixmin.net on port 563 SSL and then to subscribe to the two newsgroups comp.mobile.android & comp.mobile.ipad by searching for "comp.mobile". Doing that simple task, eliminated instantly three of the five suggested newsgroup readers. So only the first two free newsgroup readers are even worth testing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Android NNTP Usenet newsreaders for posting & reading text newsgroups: 1. NewsGroup Reader, by PiaoHong https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.piaohong.newsgroup (Allows multiple newsgroups.) 2. PhoNews Newsgroup Reader by Christian Grach https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.cmg.android.phonews (Allows multiple newsgroups.) X. Usenet Reader for Android, by Ken Tsang https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ken.android.nntpreader.pro (The free version only allows 1 newsgroup.) X. Groundhog Usenet Reader, by zoldar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almarsoft.GroundhogReader (Crashes every time. Reporting: "Unfortunately, Groundhog has stopped.") X. News Commander, by Flexis World https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flexisworld.news_commander (Reports: In order to use this application you will need to purchase a subscription This subscription can be bought via Google Play and can be cancelled at any time.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have input for choosing between the first two free newsgroup clients, please advise.
