What newsgroup reader do you use on an iPad?



An app called "NewsTap" works well on iPhones and of course iPads. I used
it on my iPad when I had one, and I use it now from time to time on my
iPhone. You can read, post, filter. It isn't as convenient as, say,
Thunderbird for "grown up computers," but it is pretty good.


I use Newstaplite and have not got a reader yet for the iMac. Thunderbird
fails on the latest OS. So much for Apple not causing problems with
software.


I read somewhere that Thunderbird was not supported on the newer Apple
operating systems but have not tried it yet. The OS version I have is
OSX 10.8.5 There's an update to 10.9 something available but I haven't
upgraded to it yet. I read about some horror stories about it on a
couple of the Apple support forums, so until I feel more comfortable with
the iMac, I think I'll leave things as they are for now.

Mine is 10.9 and they remove a transport mechanism that Thunderbird used
from what I read.
