I am looking for an android cell phone. One of the projected uses is
reading my favorite newsgroup. I currently use aioe.org as a newsgroup
feed.

Are there programs that will allow me to see the newsgroups on an
android cell phone>

I prefer Groundhog. Go to Play Store and search Usenet.

This is the NewsGroup Reader page on Google Play:

No good ones, it seems. I've been trying to use "Newsgroups Reader",
which seems to have the best reputation. However, it's buggy (crashes
occasionally, doesn't sort or display articles according to its
settings.) I checked at the author's web page and he hasn't announced
the latest version there even though it's been available at Google Play
Store for weeks, there is incomplete and wrong documentation, and he
never answers the questions posted there. It's all very disappointing.

I have to agree, I finally decided I need the PC to read newsgroups, my
cell phone does email (badly, there seem to be no android email clients
that I really like) but the best newsreader I've found, after trying
most of those available, is not even usable IMHO.

As always, YMMV.
