Wrecked Format

On the whole, ET is a 5-star journalism organization and for years I’ve had no complaint with the app. However, the recent update to the Opinion section is horrific. It’s now impossible to find anything by your favorite writers. I’m missing a lot of content that I would definitely read, not to mention content I’m paying for. This all happened on the previous update and I’m now writing this because I was hoping this update would have the fix. It did not.

Hard to navigate

Every time i start to read a story an ad pops up. When you close the ad you lose the story. I think i will delete this app and find another news source

True news

Nice to have news you can trust!

Reliable sources

I read the Epoch Times news before I am going to work every day. Very reliable news!

The Epic Times

Outstanding honest reporting

The best of the best!

The best of the best!

I’m a paid subscribing member

I don’t get the benefits offered in my promised paid subscription. I’m not privileged to certain articles posted like the tape of the man who died went to heaven then returned. This is also my 3rd attempt to get someone who works in subscriptions to look into my issue. I will not be renewing

Fix it!

Your App has some issues after your updates! Clear some sizing that pushes me from sending my comments via iphone!

New useless format in opinion section in app and online

You have hidden the names of the authors in the opinion section. Your new format now limits the new articles to a handful, rather than allowing efficient scrolling through past articles which show authors. Change for change sake is folly.

Widget would be nice

Something that has top 5 stories and you can look at while you unlock the phone

Not Getting What I Paid For

I pay for a whole year subscription and I’m not able to get any of the live news been reported every time I click on the news. I’m only able to see what happened the day prior.

Bad UI navigation

Placement of Back arrow is confusing: sometimes it’s at the top left, sometimes at the bottom, and on some screens - somewhere near the middle left. Last app update placed the top left arrow so far out into the corner that on iPhone 15 Pro it’s impossible to come back from the comments screen.

Timely news without the lies and propaganda

News and much more. Love it!

Real news

I’m so glad there’s a media organization that actually provides REAL news. Please keep up the great work!

All The News!

Fantastic! Simply, fantastic!

Useful and informative

Thankful for the Epoch Times

Very Honest Reporting

I really like The Epoch Times because they obviously do the investigative work that brings a story worth reporting, a rarity in the crazy times we are living in. I only wish I had more time and money. Losing your job at 62 years of age, not an easy transition. Unemployment in CA doesn’t cover groceries let alone all the other obligations we have like home ownership, etc. Since this review is not about me I say “Thank You Epoch Times”, I enjoy the time I
do take to read your reports about happenings in the world, most of all our great United States.
I’ll re-sign when I get employment again.

Censorship

I have updated the stars after Epoch reversed course and restored most of the deleted comments. I hope everyone stands against censorship. Don’t let your voice be silenced. I feel like 2 1/2 stars is the right number now. That’s obviously not an option. So 2 it is.

I have been an Epoch subscriber for about 4 or 5 years. In the last few years I started to notice some questionable coverage. Some misleading articles or articles that don’t tell the whole story. I also noticed some news that was just not covered. I would have to look at other outlets to find some stories. I started commenting on things that I found troubling. I also commented on things I found to be good. I originally subscribed to Epoch because I saw the extreme bias and irresponsible and sometimes downright dishonest coverage from virtually all media. I found the Epoch to be what other media once was. Something has changed in the last few years. I just read a movie review for The Odyssey. I thought writer made excuses for the clearly DEI motivated casting. I commented on what I believed to be true. I was respectful and I never used foul language. Most people on the page thought as I did. The writer responded to my posts. I found him to be a little snarky and sarcastic but I was in no way offended. After a few exchanges he did admit that my points were good. The last thing he posted was something like he enjoyed the debate. I agreed. After returning to the article later I found virtually all critical comments erased, and not just my own. I left a pointed comment stating that this was censorship and the Epoch and ALL media should be steadfastly against censorship. Then that comment was erased also. I thought that the Epoch was all about freedom of speech. I thought the Epoch was founded on the principles of anti-communism. Censorship is a pillar of communism. Now the Epoch is censoring comments? I remember the Epoch having printing equipment destroyed in the middle of the night by the CCP several years ago. I read their comment posting rules (which I find a little over the top) and found no violation with what I wrote. Seems to me the Epoch has lost its way. I have personally sold many people on The Epoch content. I have also gifted subscriptions. Words cannot adequately express how disappointed I am with their actions. I have been close to canceling before but this will be the last year of my subscription. I hope they find their way back. Censorship is one of the first seeds of communism and the Epoch is planting them. I will pass what took place with their paper on to everyone I know. They should be ashamed of the actions they took. They are becoming no better than the other media outlets now.

Love the morning brief

Basic news without a lot of unnecessary commentary is great for this busy persons life so I can get a good idea what’s going on in the world without spending an hour listening and without feeling aggravated by opinion leaking into the report.
