Editor's review of Giganews Binary Newsreader

This Usenet reader expertly accesses a variety of media files, in a simple fashion suitable for any level of user. While the interface has a simple and uncluttered design, its simplicity may hide its usability from first-time users. However, the help file and some practice using the app will quickly fill in any user's knowledge gaps. The initial search through newsgroups for those that fit the user's specifications may take several minutes, but Giganews Binary Newsreader functions quickly thereafter.

The buttons and menus are clearly set up for simple use to select files, view images or video, read text messages, or listen to audio. The app makes saving selected files to a separate folder very convenient. The occasional appearance of the nag screen (to encourage registering the app) is a bit disconcerting, but not so distracting that the tool isn't useful.

All Usenet newsreaders have their quirks, and some suit users to differing degrees. Giganews Binary Newsreader offers users of any level a robust and reliable tool for accessing a variety of file types according to the user's specifications.
