What users say about NZBVortex

MacProCT
By MacProCT on Mar 24 2024 for v.3.4.3

Value: 5.0

What a great value. I get so much usefulness out of this app. Ten bucks and I use it nearly daily. I actually bought again after a few years, to support the developer. It's fast at grabbing from my Usenet service (Eweka currently, which I recommend). There are times that it doesn't UnRar some downloads properly and i have to do it manually. But that's a minor issue that only happens once in a while

I submitted a bug report over a month ago, as well as emailed the dev. I received no feedback, apparently this is an abandoned app.
