### 1/5 — Filled with irritating adverts!

*2024-07-24, version 3.4.2*

Don’t bother using this app at the office or coffee shops as loud irritating adverts will keep popping up at the most inappropriate hour. You are not even allowed to mute the ads. This developer is taking its subscribers as fools!

### 1/5 — Advertisement Pop Up Disturbing

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2011-05-22*

Thanks 頭條曰報!

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2011-04-01*

As a migrant with family and friends still in HK, this newspaper enables me to keep in touch with my birthplace. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — The best newspaper app in HK

*2011-03-08, version 2.3*

Excellent function, intuitive interface, fast content load and update. Please carry on. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

*2011-01-29*

I actually don't mind the fact that it is just a scanned version of the real newspaper. The HD quality is good enough for easy reading and I can actually take snap shots of articles to email to friends. This has enriched my daily life since living in China I have very few sources of HK news. Thanks!!! 

I also don't mind looking at the ads. :)

It doesn't take that long to download, at least acceptable. Once downloaded, I can read it during the day even when there is no Wi-fi. This app may not suit everyone, but it sure suits me.

### 5/5 — Great improvement

*2010-09-02, version 0*

Much better than before. Updating is fast.

### 5/5 — Work great now.

*2010-08-11, version 0*

Need to delete the app.  Download and install again, then no problem.

### 5/5 — jwlee11

*2010-08-06*

Good performance and Easy to use interface.

### 5/5 — Version 1.1.1 actually works pretty well

*2010-07-14*

I found it disturbing that people could be so critical to a free app that provided very nice services on a daily base. I don't understand why people had to be so mean.

Update: The app turned out to be much better than I thought.  Yes, it takes a while to download a 40 to 130 pages newspaper.  Actually, the download speed was not bad compared to the Wired app.  Both apps use similar approach ( taking an upfront lengthy download, but allow you to read at your own pace later ).  The Wired app only gives you 1 trial issue.  Additional issues cost $3 each.  The Headline News app let you keep the latest 6 issues ( 1 week ).  Each issue is usually much bigger than Wired, and it is completely free.

Once the issues are downloaded, the reading experience is very nice.  The issues are exact replicas of the printed issues.  I'd buy an iPad just to use this app.

More update: I actually prefer exact replicas of printed versions of newspapers and periodicals. The fact that you cannot mess with the content has a certain appeal. I do think that turning the pages to PDFs will be a very nice enhancement to the app. Hopefully, the developer will eventually implement this type enhancement that reduces bandwidth requirement.

However, the app offers much more than just the pages. It is a content management system. As long as I started the app ( with the iPad plugged in charging ), the app will fetch the newspaper when a new one is available. It always keeps the last 6 issues. Old issues are deleted automatically. So, when I want to read HK newspaper, I just pick up the iPad and read what's available. My wife can do the same. Not much user interaction is needed. I just don't see how I can be critical at such a nice workflow.

In fact, I'm considering getting an extra iPad so that it can do this ( newspaper fetching ) full time.
