Awesome service and support.
Awesome service and support. I've been with Newshosting for 18+ years and will continue to remain with them exclusively. They have always been very responsive to any concerns with which I've contacted them.

Retention is great.
Retention is great.
The User Interface for the News Reader needs to be improved.
Lots of postings have unsearchable titles as they are scrambled. Not sure if they are hashed or encoded in some way.
I have 1G Fiber to the home. Using 60 threads, it only ever gets to about 250 Mbps.
Biggest bug that I hate is that if I minimize the app while downloading, it crashes. If I don't minimize, it does NOT crash.

'Newshosting' is Fantastic!!
The 'Newshosting' site is always reliable, fast, and I can't recall a time when it ever went down. It retains posts for a very long time, and I have never received any virus's or malware of any kind. My only constructive issue is with many of the posters that feel it necessary to add a suffix-(numeral), and/or a suffix-(personal moniker), to the end of each song title. This leave me/us to have to delete each one manually, which is a huge PITA. But as far as 'Newshosting' itself, it's fantastic, and I would be devastated if it ever went away!! Keep up the great work!!

Shady billing tactics
Shady tactics! These thieves tricked me into purchasing a year's worth of their service by listing the MONTHLY price on the payment page and only listing that I will be paying the full year's worth of service in small text down below. Any company that needs to hide their terms like that are thieves and untrustworthy. Do not trust this company! I got a refund but I should not have to ask for a refund! The sign up process should be clear and plain as day if you have a product that is worth buying!

The price for what you get is the best feature.
Wish the software could be worked on a little more. With Win11, I need to manually expand the preview pic window, on Apple it takes one click. Also would be nice to copy text from the posts list by highlighting them.
Three years later I'm still here, no need to say more.
