This post is specifically for Android users who prefer NzbDrone over Sick Beard. If you fall into that category then you’ll be happy to hear that the latest release of NZB 360 v8 supports NzbDrone. The app is no longer available through the Google Store but you can learn more about it at nzb360.com. The developer is now distributing the app through the nzb360 site. He offers both a free and Pro version of the popular Usenet app.
The latest version 8 release of NZB 360 added support for NzbDrone. Making it the first mobile app to support the service. It also supports other popular Usenet clients and services including SABnzbd, NZBget, Sick Beard, Newznab, CouchPotato, HeadPhones and now NzbDrone. The user interface is really nice.
How do you get the app? First you download the free version from nzb360.com. From there you can upgrade to the Pro version from inside the app using PayPal or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover). Purchasing the app will grant you a full license to that includes future upgrades.
Those who previously purchased the app in Google Play are out of luck. You will have to buy it again to enjoy the premium features. I know this is a raw spot for some and understand the tension. You can read more about it on Reddit. My personal opinion is that the developer should figure a way to honor past customers licenses but the development of features like the addition of NzbDrone would have been delayed.
We’re glad to see NZB 360 available through it’s own distribution. The developer is clearly dedicated to adding new features as shown by the latest v8 release supporting NzbDrone. We look forward to the continued progression of the Android app. We’ve heard from a few iOS users asking when the app would be ported over. As of now we haven’t heard of any plans to do that. You could always add an Android tablet.
For those new to Usenet you’ll still need a provider to use NZB 360. We can help you find a good one with a full list of Usenet providers along with free trials and discount offers. As for other automation tools we recommend SABnzbd, Sick Beard and CouchPotato. The Newshosting client also provides some nice automation features.
