Very fun and applicable
As a long time Chinese learner that has looked into many ways to improve my Chinese, this is one of my favorite tools. The stories are interesting to read and very informative on relevant and compelling current events and traditional and cultural topics. Also, they have connected stories that are also entertaining and I really appreciate the creativity. The Ben and lili saga right now is so great.
The app also color codes level of difficulty of words according to the HSK which is very helpful, and you can save words as quasi flash cards to practice with. Love this app so much.

Great App, Too Expensive
I love this app. It has a lot of what I need in it: Short articles I can get through quickly, different levels, flashcard support... And the free version still has plenty of content. I would love to upgrade, but there's no way I'm paying $12 a month for it. Great for anyone looking to improve their reading (and a little bit of listening).
The only thing I can think of to add would be post-reading questions, probably multiple choice.

A great way to revise with interesting, relevant articles
Great app filled with short interesting stories all tailored to different Chinese levels. Can toggle pinyin on and off, has audio and also accurate English translations. The free version regularly adds new articles and they're all relevant to current affairs or interesting aspects of Chinese culture. A really great way to practice Chinese without the formalities of a textbook or newspaper.
