The original article layout is also available. - Navigate within the articles from within the thread view or simply by flipping to the next/previous article with your finger. - A graphical „tree view“ visualizes a complete discussion and makes it super-easy to follow and participate discussions. - It's possible to hide articles that are already read and to hide quotes. - Sync the read/unread states of the articles using a „newsrc“ file with other usenet client. The sync can be done via SFTP, WebDAV, Dropbox and iCloud. - Post new articles or send followups. - Build-in help, which explains all the application features.
