Latest version not working corrected on iPad. It stays in portrait mode only.

Excellent app. The app works very well and I’ve never encountered a problem with it. Also, while I have many apps I almost never open, I open SCMP all the time. It’s ease of use and its probing journalism make me want to use it.

Don’t like the updated app. Prior to the update, it was easy to navigate and see articles that are new and popular. The last update made this app unusable. In portrait only doesn’t work well for me either. Too bad - it was a good source of news for me as I live in HK and like to know what’s going on. Now I am not excited to use it. Please fix this

Please revert to prior format. Prior app organized news much better. Now I cannot easily find the news I want without going thru layers. Classic case of developers changing interface for the worse, like a win8 disaster that will eventually push users to competing platforms.

When the app is opened it slows my phone down 10x. The articles and graphics are good but everytime I use it my entire phone slows down (scrolling takes forever) to the point where I give up using the app.

No problems. App works great for me. I like the stories because they have links to other stories that I like to catch up on.

Awful in the new version. I like the old version better as the new version of iPhone apps does not allow you to logout. Login location is not in Setting either. It’s a very funky design. UI design is full of flaws as well, like extremely high latency of “thumbs up” button and “posting comments”. Maybe it’s due to the rigid censorship in China?? Improvements are needed.

Where are the photos. I downloaded the "improved" app, and opened up to no photos...

Ads!. The app shows an ad when launching. What’s terrible is the ads often play sounds. This is distracting, obnoxious and you don’t know what kind of crazy ads you get. This makes me not want to open the app in public places at all.

Excellent ! Always very interesting and poignant articles. Five stars for you.

Excellent content, easy to use!. If you have any interest in news from Asia, this is a great source. The app is easy to use and I’ve enjoyed it every day since download. Thanks!

Ads ads ads ads ads ads and more ads. Pay for a subscription? Great! You get the luxury of being inundated with ads. On any given screen of the app, up to 80% or the screen is covered in ads. A massive banner across the top: ad. Between every other story on the home page: ad. Every third paragraph in a story: ad. A mobile app has reduced screen space, but SCMP shamelessly saturates it with ads that make the app nearly unusable. All of those screenshots you see above are just renders, not what you’ll actually see. Why am I paying for this?

Pop-up ad on opening is not acceptable. Do not like design a full audio/visual pop-up ad on opening. Sure, thats good advertising space for you but I’m just not going to open the app anymore

Good, with some flaws. Overall, I enjoy the content and the generally balanced reporting of news on China. However, there are several suggestions and room for improvement in my opinion: 1. The app should support dark mode so that it makes it easier for readers to read at night or those who want to read the news after they just woke up. 2. Better UI design for iPads. Right now, it is very awkward to operate on iPad, especially when one clicks on an article. The half menu half content display is very uncomfortable and unnecessary. 3. Comment section should be integrated with the page, not be directed to another page

Much improved production value. I use this app every day to keep abreast of news of Hong Kong, my hometown. I also enjoy the Long Reads and the Infographics.

Still charge you full price if you cancel during trial.. After seeing a lot of ads even with the paid version, I decided to cancel. Then I realized that the trial period perhaps is not a trial. IOS says I will still be charged $100 and more. Sounds like some kind of scam, if we think about it. Watch out! Also, the editors need to learn how to be objective on both sides of their stories, and make the headlines less sensational. Even if I still have access to the product, I chose to delete the app. It’s bad mental health.

Used to be good until forced ads. Used to be a good app for checking daily news until they force ads at you at every turn. Now, the first thing you see when you open the app, or even the loading screen is an ad. The ads plays at volume even if your phone is on silent. No more checking news if you are someplace quiet. I deleted the app.

I need the app to be landslide on iPad platform. Although I enjoy the content and of the news and also the new formate changes. I need the app to be LANDSLIDE available on iPad platform!!!

Not worth paying for. If you’re looking to get the mostly official China perspective and an English language window into China, the SCMP is worth a look. It’s predictably biased with respect to pushing China’s foreign policy and taking an anti-West editorial approach. To avoid having readership completely dry up, It does so in a soft manner rather than the old Pravda hardline approach. Did try a subscription to get around the paywall limits but didn’t find much worth looking at beyond the front page. The limited free version is enough to get China’s perspective but don’t waste your money paying for it.

Looks Nice But Definitely Needs Improvement. Not a fan of the newly updated format. It looks nice but it’s hard to find & search for articles. I prefer the older (& what probably seems to most a more boring & outdated) version/format because it’s a lots easier to scroll through the content & find what articles I want to read. The older way of navigating through the “Tabs” is a lot easier also. Now, it seems like I would have to scroll all the way back up to the top of the page & go thru the Menu to get to the other sections. Please fix these issues in your next update.

Thomas L Hill. Well researched and well written news of the day! SCMP seeks to inform and enlighten! Your reporters are a breath of fresh air!

Too Many Ads. Used to enjoy using the app to browse the news. With the addition of intrusive ads, however, I’ve been using this app less and less and just directly going to the website instead.

Good app, but the future app stinks. Assuming that the soon to be released upgrade to this app looks like the website, the new app will be absolute trash. The website is hard to navigate, its performance is pitifully slow. Your web developers are obviously third rate. They certainly do not test their work. Do not update the app to function as the website. The performance is so bad that I might entirely stop using SCMP as a news source.

Issue. Can you please STOP with the advertisement playing sound whenever the app is opened? It’s such a pain to open the app and the advertisement plays with sound, especially when it’s an advertisement about some goofy children’s app. This is a professional app so I would expect a lot more in terms of professionalism. Please have the sound muted by default for advertisements. Thank you

Terrible UX/UI. They tried to make it work nicely with gestures, however due to poor implantation, the swipes don’t actually do what you want them to do. Easier just to use the website

Ads remove please. As a yearly paid subscriber, I cannot stand that ads are very common. Please remove them.

Forced update. Too bad, always pop an update dialogue to force me update this app. But, the content is pretty good. 4-star.

Informative. SCMP is quick with news arising from China. The “Opinion” is objective, unbiased and informative for understanding of development of news.

Just updated the app an am not to pleased.. The previous version was more intuitive and easy to use. Now you are forced to scroll scroll scroll ..........................scroll. Sometimes it is best not to fix that that is not broken. 🤔.

Ads …. I do not understand why there are still ads with a paid subscription. Even give us a tier that is more expensive without ads ? It’s so bad I completely unsubscribed.

Ads with Audio Enabled Upon Opening App. There I am, in my quiet but crowded work office when I get an interesting news article notification from this app. I click the notification expecting to be taken straight to the article, when instead an ad with a literal screaming person starts going off and breaking the office silence. To add, my phone was on silent mode! I don’t know how I could have prevented that from happening, and I no longer trust opening this app in quiet environments in fear of causing me embarrassment.

Annoying AD Banner. The top Advertising banner always takes a part of UI. It would distract me when scrolling down. I can accept Ads appear among pages or articles, but the top Ad banner now fixes on the top so that I can only use part of screen of the app all the time. That’s really annoying.

Great source of information. Having an interest in current news and information that I had previously been unaware, SCMP has been a consistent and reliable source. Initially my concern of biases, which when cross referenced with other information sources, happily has been minimal. Thanks for providing another source for interesting news.

New update - terrible!. I have used my IPad Pro(setup horizontally)to read SCMP for years. All the news was well organized and the user interface was great! This new version is slow, horrible user interface, and the news are awkwardly organized. I can hardly describe how bad it is. My suggestion for future improvements is to test throughly the new version against common mobile devices before releasing it. Thanks!

Can u eliminate the open screen ads?. The open screen ads are really annoying especially because it has sound by default

More distracting than the web version. I tried this because I was tired of the “click more” and blue “subscribe” bar of the web version. However I can block ads on the web version and can’t tolerate them on the app, the are distracting because they are animated. Also when scrolling if swiping on a picture it will misinterpret as a tap and the picture opens. App deleted, back to web.

After update, app is loaded with adds. After the most recent update was “forced” to all users, the app is now “saturated” with adds all over every news page. I have been using this app for a long time and the adds used to be reasonably placed on pages. Now, I’m considering completely deleting the app. I have to say to South China Morning Post: you made a terrible mistake to follow what US apps do. I’m done! Deleted the app. Good bye SCMP.

Ads everywhere. Not worth paying to be inundated with ads. Better off reading China”s news streams without paying for it.

new UI is poor thinking. Excellent news source wrapped in a poor UI—now you will find far fewer stories. Perhaps tough competition from the HKFreePress has led SCMP to lay off journalists. This UI change will cover up the reduction in content. (OK, that last bit is only a rumor I’m starting.)

How Much??!. USD125 per year??! For the SCMP this is extremely high. It’s generally good reporting, but it is very regionally focused. The opinion pieces are mostly poorly written and pointless. If the price were 40% of this, it would be worth it. Otherwise, pay slightly more and get the Times of London, or the Wall Street Journal, or the New York Times which are all far superior to SCMP.

Recent update a downgrade. I wish I had never been lured to update by the “performance optimisation” description. Now I get more mindless ads and am forced to accept cookies before reading anything. I refuse to use the app until these changes are fixed—remove the unnecessary ads and provide an option for people to refuse cookies if they don’t want them. I hope a better version comes out soon

One of best news apps available. Very clean and crisp interface. Embedded videos work and it is easy to save articles you’re interested in for a later time. As for the quality of the journalism itself I have always been impressed by the wide range of viewpoints. Including articles critical of their owners -alibaba- or national government.

Ads ads ads. Google ads on the top of the screen in the latest update, rendering the viewing experience 50 times worse

Topical. Paid version should remove ads. Obviously a staple source for news in HK. However, the app is fairly expensive for maintaining ads - especially ticking-clock ads. Decided not to renew based on this feature.

Digital experience well thought out. With another news app I use, notifications stop coming on some devices at times or led to missing articles altogether, but I have never encountered it in this app, so the experience is comparatively superior by far. The interactive graphics and videos embedded within many articles are great work too.

Great resource for academics. I really enjoy the variety of useful photos, videos and reading materials that cover a wide range of subjects by this app. I regularly use these as one of many tools for my class HIS 216 Modern China. Dr. Erick J. Mann, PhD Professor of History and Fulbright Scholar

Terrible. No matter who claims to be the owner, publisher of this app it is completely controlled by China’s communist party. Any opinions on articles that are not deemed to go along with the narrative that they want you to believe will be removed. Disagree enough times and they will kill your account. Don’t help any members of the ccp, that should include all those that tell the falsehood, that the ccp has no control over them!! It’s time for all freedom loving people of the world to stand up to China, and say enough of your state sponsored terrorism!

Update makes it unusable. The new update forces you to buy a new iPad as it won't let you use the app unless you have iOS 10 or above. Even though it says you don't. It's hopeless. What used to have balanced HK and East Asian news is gone.

Update is awful. Until recently, App was very good (5 stars). There is a mandatory update and app is not usable until you update. New version is awful. Using a iPad, entire site is in portrait mode only, very difficult to navigate or just find anything. Pages that were fast loading are slow and freeze. Change for clear improvement is good. In this case change seems to be for no other reason than to move things around. If it’s not broken, don’t try to “fix” something. One more thing; this is not just this app but most in general. Graphics folks need to be taught layout. Style and order have become a thing of the past. Fonts that are too small, images that don’t fill an area, grey text on grey or light white background needs to stop ASAP. Young folks generally have good eyesight but for majority of folks, vision is not what it usto be. Take this into consideration when creating

Watch out for background usage. The last version I used was by far the biggest drain on my battery. 66 hours of background usage during the last 10 days. Compared to 32 minutes of screen time. That is a creepy large amount of background time and battery drain. No way to contact the app developer.

Great. Having left hk and lived in Australia for almost two decades, I still love to see what’s happening there. SCMP provides me a great platform to be on top of all the latest news and interesting stuffs happening in Hong Kong. This app is absolutely fantastic. Wish the team utmost success.

Slow loading news and images. I have been using this app in Mainland China. The app layout seems to be designed well however all the images take forever to load and when clicking and article it takes a while for it to open.

Ms. Hopeless. You cannot get into the app without clicking 'download' and when you have done so and click 'open' you go straight back to the notice which requires you to click 'download.' Can I just have the old functional app back?

Well structured cross Asia update. SCMP presents information clearly & succinctly with excellent content on China, Hong Kong & Sth Asia. I read 5 online newspapers each morning & SCMP is one of the best.

I love ❤️ this news channel best south China morning post. I I love this news news channel I love this news channel

Subscriber based content. You’ve lost a long time SCMP reader, disappointed you can’t find other ways to make revenue other than forcing readers to pay to read your content. It’s been a good ride. Bye

Bad design. The new app is TERRIBLE! Half the articles are days old and all mixed up with new reports. Very bad design.

Ads are annoying and intrusive. I get that the paper needs ads to survive, but please have a better way of displaying them and especially not to have pop-up ads like those ftp games. If not, then at the very least have paid option.

A very good insight into Asia’s news. Reporting on Asia’s perspective is missing with lots of bias from western media. Keep up the impartial reporting and for spreading news from an Asian perspective.

SCMP is the only place I read my news from. A big thank you to SCMP. Always impartial. Always insightful. Unparalleled Asian perspective that no other media compares.

Excellent app design. Great app and wonderful content. Use it daily!

Bring back landscape mode please. I can’t use this anymore in portrait mode

Dark mode please. Please add dark mode!!!

New version is laggy on iPhone 8 Plus. Updated to the latest version today because I was FORCED to do so. And this is precisely the reason I don’t update apps. The app is literally unusable on IPhone 8 Plus on IOS 11.4.1. There is big blank bar at the top of the screen and scrolling on the home page is extremely laggy. Please fix ASAP and don’t force users to update next time. Regards, Dan

Informative. Comprehensive reporting,so many topics wonderful!! Good layout,easy to navigate Enjoy reading it every single day App works very

Well done guys🙏🏽👍🏽😀. I have been reading SCMP since 2015. I’d like to appreciate all the people working hard to bring us the news from every corner of the world. I like the new app, nice design & very easy to use.

Thanks. A great source of local and International information. Especially interesting to decipher the variation in spin between Post mainland, and European based publications. From a practicable perspective, your innovative digital design is outstanding.

Clipboard snooping and low value subscription. Every time I open the app, iOS 14 kindly informs me that SCMP has pasted from my clipboard. On top of this, their new subscription model does not remove the countless ads on their app / website. Why would I pay then?

Scmp is not accessible anymore on my iPhone with this latest update!. 团62号四楼已约给看,请你问朋友几时要看?林

Screen top ad-banner annoying. Always love SCMP and the app but the latest update having the ad-banner on top of the screen caused a bit of annoyance.

Good content and platform, too much annoying ads. I loved the content and paid for the subscription but there’s just so much ads especially the one that’s taking out top reading space.

Excellent. Excellent reporting

Terrible journalism. Low quality garbage

Excellent. It works. That's what matters. Clear, stable and timely. Thanks, SCMP.

Restored to Its Former iPad Glory!!. UPDATE: 2019-05-25 Thank you. Thank you! THANK YOU!!! Thank you for restoring this app to being one of THE best iPad news apps in the App Store. It’s glorious. And, it’s back to deserving FIVE (5) STARS. UPDATE: 2019-04-18 NONE (0) of the updates since this new version was released at the beginning of the month have fixed these issues. This is NOT a universal app: This is merely a blown-up, high-definition version of the iPhone app. This app is NOT an iPad app. Do NOT bother installing on an iPad. iPads are NOT phone-less iPhones; nor, are they large iPod Touches. iPad users work almost entirely in LANDSCAPE mode and rarely if ever in portrait, unless forced to do so by a poorly designed app like this one. It is so sad that this app, which used to be beautifully designed for iPad, is now so badly implemented for iPad that it has become unusable. ORIGINAL REVIEW: 2019-04-02 The SCMP app was one of my favorite news apps. It WAS truly worth every bit of FIVE (5) STARS. It is NOW barely worth the ONE (1) STAR the latest update has reduced it to. This update has made the app virtually unusable on iPads. I’d like to say that I could switch to reading the SCMP via a browser, but that will never happen because without receiving iOS notifications, I’d never think to go to the SCMP site. Specifically, the app has been ruined for the iPad. In fact, it appears that the iPad has been completely disregarded in the creation of this new app. As it is now, the app is presented entirely in portrait mode. iPads are NOT phone-less iPhones; nor, are they large iPod Touches. iPad users work almost entirely in LANDSCAPE mode and rarely if ever in portrait, unless forced to do so by a poorly designed app. Here are some lowlights of the update: • new app is PHYSICALLY AWKWARD in portrait mode, and extremely so. • new app is VISUALLY AWKWARD in portrait mode, and extremely so. • moving through the app is cumbersome and complex. • there is no well-populated compact display of multiple articles from which one can make choices. • the vast space of the iPad screen that is available for useful and coherent layout is wasted. • the previous version of this app, in LANDSCAPE mode, was infinitely superior to this latest layout. It is such a shame that the new version of the app has been rendered so useless for iPad users. I will certainly miss reading and sharing articles from the SCMP each and every day has I have always done, until now. Turning away iPad users, means we will no longer be reading and sharing your articles. Our not sharing your articles means iPad users will no longer be driving traffic to your site. It seems to me, then, that alienating iPad users is a market not worth losing. Thank you.

Night mode. Would be great if the apps can include night mode

SCMP listened to my review. I’ve been using the app for a few years. In early 2019 SCMP changed the layout making it difficult to use en enjoy as mush. I wrote to SCMP to convey my review. And to my surprise they actually replied back afterwards inviting me to return, I just did and it’s back to perfect, easy reading and important news of the world and Asia at my fingertips. Thanks SCMP.

New layout awful. The new layout and design makes the app frustrating to use. On iPhone and iPad. Go back to the old design. You need to click on 3-4 menus just to browse through the headlines.

Bring back the old version. It used to be the best news app out there and then you killed it. Only has portrait orientation on iPad now? It’s like regression. Please bring back all that made the app the greatest. In the meantime, you’re missing out on my pair of eyeballs.....sorry

Ads are overbearing. I appreciate that news media needs to find ways to make money but these ads that blast out over the phone’s speakers are overbearing.

Good to see both sides of the story. With all the talk in the western media of a US - China Cold War it’s nice to see both sides of the story. It’s also a good way to realize that the media is just a game of winning people’s opinions in order to justify a cause.

SCMP Rocks !. Always enjoy reading SCMP , I live in Canada but Hong Kong is my favourite city In the World ! Keep up the great work !

Nice to get an Asian point of view of the news.. Well organized and informative. Obviously a bit biased towards China but a good offset to usual western biased media.

Mandatory update over LTE. Stop making me update to use your app Let me do it when I want , when I have wifi Next time I delete your app

New layout is terrrible. It’s an iPad app, not an iPhone. I don’t want to have to hold my device sideways.

Good paper. Every single paper and word has been controlled by the center government( it could be communism or anything else what they wanna it to be) but that still can not stop Chinese to seeking a way to speak the truth.

Lots of Information💕. I use this to catch up with news about the Hong Kong protest, which is quite useful as there are multiple entries and text about the protest! Keep up the good work!

Chinese controlled media. All of Asia accept south China post as a communist controlled and influenced media outlet. Beware of these reviews, this media outlet is not where you should get news if you’re looking for truth.

Stop advertising your new team by force. Did you really have to put a GIANT BANNER in EVERY NEWS ARTICLE to advertise your new morning studio? The space literally covers a quarter of the phone display and ruins reading experience. Terrible work SCMP. Idiotic layout. Seriously considering deleting app now

great content, bad layout. The content is always first rate. The new layout - not so much. Please bring back simpler content navigation and landscape rotation.

Unstable. Won’t even stay open on iPad 7 as of late!

Forced update is crappy business model.. Your excuse about the EU notwithstanding, (I’m NOT in the EU), Forced updates that block usage is bad business and indicates massive decline in respect for your users. It looks bad on your good reputation. If I see another, I’m deleting this app, no matter what your weak tea excuse is.

Informative. Best news application regarding Asian matters.

Way better than western mainstream media outlets. You want to know Asian and China, read this one.

👉 Are you looking for an Adsense alternative advertising platform?

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Unable to thumb up or down on selected comments. Unable to thumb up/down like/dislike comments after most recent update

Free. I have always considered SCMP as the most complete source of information for asian news and now available for free. Great!

Update is trash. Updated SCMP, can’t open the app without it logging out of itself

It crashes immediately after opening. IPhone XS Max last public iOS version

“Honest, True Reporting, Factual.”. “Love It.”

I am cheated!. There is no way to log on. This app does not work. I want my money returned

Can’t figure out search function on new app. Help!

SCMP is easy to read and has HK and Asian news. I abhor news sites that are complicated an complicated. SCMP's stands out for being easy to access and scan through for articles that I might be interested in. I don't know why the Straits Times has a paywall on their website when you land and face an advertisement right away - a case of because they can, being the only local English language newspaper? SCMP is also miles easier to navigate!

Format. Prefer the old format. Cannot find all articles. Feel it is limiting. Feel boxed in to a few feeds

Too expensive!. Over $200 usd for a year subscription??? That's crazy to read online!!!

Best news app for China news. This is by far the best news app in English for news on Hong Kong and China!!!

Pretty useless. It does not work offline, you are constantly subjected to annoying ads (ever hear of infeed ads which blend with content?). I wonder why SCMP does not seems able to get the digital world right... Ps I am a subscriber...

Still no dark mode ?. Waiting for dark Mode .

Lack of iPad support. This app works on iPads before recent update, that is no longer the case. The app lock you in portrait mode, no landscape support anymore. Update (2019/04/17): This remains true after today’s update. Update (2019/04/18): This remains true after today’s update. Update (2019/04/25): This remains true after today’s update. Update (2019/05/08): This remains true after today’s update. pdate (2019/05/09): This remains true after today’s update.

Best News Mobile App. This is one of the best news app l have used. The app is very intuitive and user friendly. I usually read WSJ and NYT but their apps pale in comparison to SCMP. My favorite utility is the ability to curate my newsfeed. Thanks you so much. With love from MA, USA !!

Good, but should be moved to newsstand. Love this paper. I wish I could see what each day's cover looks like, like with The New York Times.

Best Hong Kong News App!. Love that this App is for free. Used to cost a lot just to subscribe. Thanks SCMN for your generous gift of free news!

Good overall. I find news pulse a much more convenient way of following SCMP on the iPhone when traveling internationally. The app design is good. I find dealing with ads annoying at startup and the screen bottom when I am already an authenticated paying subscriber - this isn't right. It also crashes occasionally. Fix the ads and the crash and it gets 5 stars!

Too small. I wonder if I am doing something wrong? The window is soooo small! It is hard to read the news when you can't enlarge it! Am deleting...

Sad decline. Increasingly useless owing to CCP control. Once a great paper

Great for a "fair and balanced" news on China and Asia, now free. Edit: My previous complaint was only about subscription price being too high. Cheers to SCMP for changing to a free model and taking feedback. Looks great, and their reporting and articles are great as always.

Another CCP controlled news publication. The news on scmp has deteriorated dramatically after the national security law has taken effect. Gone are the days of freedom of press.

Flawed Update. The new version released April 10 is flawed. After less than a minute of use, it froze my iPhone completely. Although I've enjoyed the SCMP app previously, I've deleted the app until it gets fixed.

Improvement but full of bugs. Using this app is much better than the mobile site, but it's still quite buggy - articles frequently crash the app and pages are slow to load. The typography is also very rough and hard to read. Comment feature works most of the time though which is a nice touch.

Not a 2015 app. Can't any Hong Kong company make an app for 2015 rather than 2010? Not SCMP.

Awesome app now works for iPad!. Awesome! Thank you for making the app work on iPad! Previous review: This app is awesome but the web version for iPad is not good, please make an iPad version of this app!

Crashes phone, very slow and poor layout. Hard to believe this was the product of a tech company. Totally buggy, crashes phone on kid up, slow, and layout/design fairly poor. The "five star" reviews have to be faked...

Where is iPad version?. The old iPad web version works well but as a paid subscriber, I am forced to use this app which is for iPhone! Please make an iPad version or restore the old one

Smooth app. Much improved over older versions- quick access from overseas as well.

Just deleted your revised app. I can’t believe how poorly you messed up your app. The old one was great and easy to navigate on an iPad. I thought you guys were smarter than this. Good bye.

Free app with objective views. A fair & free news website on our imperfect world.

Stop the Forced Ads. After paying handsomely each month for your service, app users should not be forced to suffer through ads every time we click back to the Top Stories section. I understand the importance of an ad revenue stream, but find another way to display them without making your customers sit and wait for the content they've paid for! It's disrespectful and quite frankly will make me not renew.

App crashes. App crashes when opening

Me. Great app!!!

Crashes a lot. Love SCMP, but this app crashes too often Five stars if issue fixed

Eye opening to the world. Unbiased opinions and unlimited resources to the media for the benefit of mankind, nature and nations.

Top banner not acceptable. as title

A poor replacement!. This new app is a poor replacement for the SCMP's original iPad app. The other one had problems, but it always worked. This new version, on the other hand, frequently just stops! I've had to delete and reinstall several times. That gets it working again — for a little while, then after a while it fails again.

has big heading blank issue. seriously damage user experience when reading

Great paper. SCMP , an insightful paper on HKG and China with global perspectives.

App drowns paid subs w ads. Absolutely no other self-respecting news outlet does this

Landscape mode doesn’t work on my iPad. Lol seriously?

The English mouthpiece for the CCP. There is so much propaganda and biased reporting for the china communist party . This is HK version of the China Daily !

Great app for world news & South Asia too. Great app .

👴花钱就是来看广告的吗. 下个手机app就是为了零散时间看点新闻 这破app上广告这么多 为啥不去电脑端看呢? 为什么不用手机浏览器看呢?烂活 举办了

No more landscape. The new version seems doesn’t support landscape for iPads. So, can’t use it as morning news source anymore...

App uses so much space!. It's a newspaper. Not an HD movie. Optimize storage!

Needs Work. This app has been a real disappointment for me. Simply put, it does not work well. There are pop ups that one cannot escape from and poor linking that is slow or just doesn't work. At a time when other major newspapers have working apps, SCMP does not. I am invariably forced to go back to the website (which ironically keeps asking if I would not rather switch to this app). And there is not even an iPad optimized version. I like the newspaper and since I live in the USA reading online is my only option. The subscription is expensive and I expect better.

So laggy. The app has nice design but it's really laggy:/

ads ads ads. crazy ads
