### 5/5 — Great News Network

*2026-05-05*

I read TGT through the website & downloaded the app on my phone. No problems at all & no different to their website. Some comments say they had issues with the privacy & had to give a lot of details, I never experienced that, it was the usual accept conditions & notifications. Could be the usual US knock China propagandists

### 1/5 — Must be a satire app!!!

*2023-11-27*

This is probably the worst excuse for a factual news app in existence!!! This brings deceit and fabrication to new levels of low!!! If satan published a news app it would be exactly the same!! How can anyone who has used this app think it is based on a truthful reality, really boggles the mind, if this was print it would only be good for lining my bird cage, even my birds are smart enough to realize this propaganda piece is simply garbage!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent fact based and nuanced perspective

*2023-05-29*

Biased readers will be disappointed by this balanced reporting that thoroughly accounts for the interests of the large majority of the human population in its contextual analysis. Propaganda can be only as revealing as its cultivators are honest. A communist press requires honesty or its scientific social foundation will be compromised. Global Times excels in be an example of honest news reporting.

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-04-21, version 2.6.0*

good news app

### 1/5 — Privacy an issue

*2023-03-19*

Wanted to use this app but after downloading there was a pop up explaining in order to use it, one had to agree to very onerous handing over of privacy information that includes tracking if use across other apps (there was no opt out as to disagree means the app does not launch). Thanks, but no thanks. Which is a shame as I’m always keen to hear Beijing’s perspective, just not at the cost of bending over backwards for a full internal examination of my browsing history and habits on other apps.

### 4/5 — A prospective from the other side

*2022-10-29, version 2.5.0*

Interesting and informative to see what the other side says to constant Western bashing… just like Al Jazeera, RT and not only BBC, CNN, NBC, Fox.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-08-05, version 2.4.4*

I'm more into reading coz the video section is not stable I found a lot of interesting things to read so far so good

### 1/5 — Sharing is not set up properly

*2022-04-21, version 2.3.1*

Try sharing an article from the app and you will see that the app shares pictures with broken links. Weird.

### 1/5 — 假新闻

*2022-01-31, version 2.3.1*

比假更假

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-09-18*

I like that I am able to see the world from a different perspective
