### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-08*

Verygood

### 1/5 — Highly abusive ads

*2023-03-15*

Massive amounts of highly abusive ads that pop up full page and begin to autoplay.

### 2/5 — 종이신문처럼 나오면 좋겠어요

*2023-01-22*

타 신문과 비교하고 싶진 않지만 모바일한경처럼 종이신문 형태 그대로 볼 수 있으면 좋겠어요. 태블릿으로 스크랩해서 모아놓고 싶습니다.
구독료 내는 사람들은 광고 나오지 않는 버전으로 만들어주세요.

### 1/5 — 앱이 먹통이네요

*2022-08-28*

앱이 아무 화면도 나타나지 않고 멈춰 삭제합니다

### 3/5 — 다크모드가 안돼서 삭제합니다

*2022-03-27*

웹사이트와 차별화가 있을까 싶어서 깔아봤는데
다를게 없고 다크모드가 안되니까 웹사이트에서 보는게 나아서 삭제합니다

### 4/5 — How do you login?

*2020-09-10*

Not clear how subscribers can login. 
The dates on some articles don’t match the published paper. 
There is a blank, 1-second video that randomly interrupts reading. 
Font is absolutely terrible on iOS (which is why I was trying to match some articles to the published paper so I can read them on the original Joins app).

### 5/5 — 영어학습하기에 정말 좋습니다!!!

*2020-06-18*

영어 독해 연습할 때 사용하는데..
영어지문과 한글지문이 둘 다 있어서 
참 좋아요~~
