South China Morning Post users say on Google Play
Truth....I thought it was something of a Bygone, when it came to the news media. The app and functionality are beyond my expectations. For unbiased news and a great user experience. SCMP should be top of your list. I have my opinions and have been ignorant to the world around me. " That was hard to say " Recently though, I've started to doubt what I've been hearing compared to what I was witnessing and living also. So, I thought I would start by educating myself at the source.
The content is really insightful and offers alternate viewpoints. But it hurts my eyes to read in full glare of the white background. Can you please offer a dark theme in the next update?
Why do i have to login into the app every day to use it. Why does it not stay logged in?
Update: the forced 5 seconds full page ad at the start of the app is super annoying. I just stare at the countdown completely oblivious to the ad. A waste of money for your advertisers. Previous: Huge improvement since my last negative comment. Well done! Very good layout design and ease of use. Much better than the BBC app. 2014: The rolling advertisements that occupy a fairly large area below the news story are extremely annoying! Hey I'm already paying an annual subscription! Not good.
The only app on my phone (besides banking) that needs me to log in every day....Just super frustrating.
