I don’t imagine that the writers of this fiction actually believe what they write rather they just do what the CCP tells them to do. Almost qualifies as comedy. It helps you realise how deluded Chinese media and the CCP actually are. ### 1/5 — China censors US magazines *2023-07-28* If China is allowed to block US majority owned magazines in the AppStore in China then Apple should block China publications from the AppStore in the US. That is only fair. Equal treatment. By not applying the same standard to China publications Apple is showing favoritism to anti-American forces in our own country. Apply equal treatment to China as they apply to the US. Do what is right Apple. ### 1/5 — Censor Reviews too! *2022-04-16* Total China propaganda! Can’t even comment on stories because they delete anything negative about China. I guess it’s difficult to hear the truth. Was a good app 7-8 years ago but now it’s just controlled news that makes America look bad and China as the perfect country. What a joke as I know better being married to a China National. ### 1/5 — Used to be good, now seems to be CPC organ *2021-11-21* China Daily used to be more of an independent voice and less propagandistic. Now it reads like a clone of Peoples Daily. ### 1/5 — such a garbage *2021-10-16* Not adaptive for iPad ### 1/5 — Opinião de quem viveu la! *2021-09-23* totalmente deturpado. Vivi la e sei o q estou falando ### 1/5 — 功能缺少，标题笼统 *2021-01-30, version 7.5.4* 后悔死更新了，我的6.5多的版本。现在想看xi'moment都没有。 ### 1/5 — Very poorly designed. Navigation is terrible. *2020-11-16* Very poorly designed. Navigation is terrible. ### 1/5 — Captivating *2020-08-02* It’s captivating. The raw unadulterated propaganda. I downloaded it to see what crap the Chinese gov’t pushes out. It’s entertaining, but gets 1 star because screw communism. ### 1/5 — One of China’s Propaganda Newspapers *2020-03-31* Read this if you love pro-China propaganda. Notice there are no articles about the head of the Emergency Department at Central Hospital Wuhan. 3 weeks ago she began telling the public what’s really happening in the city, and she was soon after disappeared. And remember that China is an enemy of the free press. Their world ranking for press freedom is 176 out of 180. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Much Needed Perspectives *2026-06-05* The United States needs to find the humility to accept that the future lies in a multipolar world rooted in development and international cooperation, not militarism and barbarity. US propaganda is coming to an end and its empire with it. ### 5/5 — FINALLY *2025-02-05* This American says; a newspaper filled with news instead of gossip, slander, smears, misinformation and a spot of actual news ### 5/5 — 适合学习英语 *2022-10-26, version 7.6.11* 长按单词能显示中文翻译，如果能加上音标就完美了 ### 5/5 — 增加分屏功能 *2020-09-27* 热点新闻更新特别快，可以说涵盖了各个领域，并且所有板块都免费。尤其双语板块，篇幅不长，还有重点单词解析。每次读完都有所收获。不像某贝阅读，现在尽是一堆自说自话的文章。希望以后可以适配分屏功能，我说的是分半个屏幕的哦，这样一方面可以用笔记软件整理生词，二来配合其他词典使用更省力。 ### 5/5 — 特别好的中英文新闻阅读平台 *2020-02-20* 体验下来可以说说是中国目前最大的中英文双语媒体应用平台不但能及时掌握国内外实时新闻还能从中学习英文了解西方媒体记者的一些观点和看法不但实时掌握民生动态又能提高英文阅读理解能力确实是一举多得的好方法 ### 5/5 — 朋友推荐的一款中英联合新闻软件 *2020-01-22* 这款软件能让我们及时了解国内外事件,内容丰富多彩画面清晰而且还完全免费，增加学习英文兴越途径，大大提高了英语水平，还可以看直播互动，非常值得推荐！ ### 5/5 — 这是一款很经典很有意思的手游游戏哦。。。 *2020-01-19* 这款单机策略养成游戏，是一款以同一天下。搜集名将，宠爱三千后宫为题材的皇帝养成类游戏。精心设计的地图.惊喜不断的彩蛋，带你体验一把不一样的皇帝人生，一统天下，太阳照耀的地方，都是帝国的疆土。策略战斗，技能配置，兵种搭配，装备搭配，没有无敌的阵容组合，只有不通点游戏体验，用如神是什么感觉？等待是什么感觉。有很多美女 不同地区，不同的时间，不同的惊喜大家跟我一起来嗨吧 ### 5/5 — 中文对照，英文翻译。 *2020-01-09* 国兵铁粉及时了解国内外大事，确实不错，非常详细，就是希望开发商能够及时更新版本，希望能增加其他新闻的中英文对照及标准的美式英语阅读，而不是只有音频那里可以听，其他都听不了，还可以推荐一些特别优秀的电影什么的，增加学习英语的兴趣和学习途径，总体来说还是不错，值得推荐。 ### 5/5 — 中国最大的英文报业集团，针对外籍提供实用信息 *2020-01-05* 旗下日报均日发行九十余万份！国际国内突发新闻及时推送报道！国际版全面上线，用户根据自身情况选择国内或国际版！阅读打卡并领取金币奖励兑换礼品！精彩直播和段视频可萌可酷的新闻机器人！实时查词功能遍布全球！ ### 5/5 — 这个平台非常棒 *2020-01-05* 希望能增加其他新闻的中文对照以及标准的美式英语阋读,而不是只有音频那里可以听,其他都听不了,还可以推荐些特别优秀的电影什么的,增加学习 英语的兴趣途径,总体来说还是不错,值得拥有。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
