I agree. I've used them all, on both iOS and Android.

They're not as feature rich as the desktop clients (e.g., my newsreader
does both pre and post processing with scripts, which just isn't in the
cards for the mobile Usenet clients.

Plus simply *typing* is a chore on a mobile device. 

So that's why I only set up this method for reading (where, for
emergencies, I also have the other Usenet clients installed on both Android
& on iOS).
