Reviews of Sixth Tone

  • Nice topics but the app is unnecessary

    For someone who already follows their WeChat page, I wanted the app in order to follow certain authors, topics and save articles I liked . But these features don’t seem to exist which rendered the app useless for me
  • DARK MODE PLEASE!

    Very good app, yet dark mode is strongly suggested.
  • Very informative, good stories

    We have news sources from the west. But no good choices from the inside. Now, this is the one.
