This is because the English is sometimes so poorly written that it is really difficult to comprehend what they really meant without going back to the Chinese version. Just reading the news issued by the Civil Service College issued on the 5 August 2026, makes me wonder what goes through the minds of these people. ### 2/5 — Becoming obsolete *2015-12-16, version 2.1.5* This app is no longer useful: - there is broken page - it doesn't support the display resolution of the new iPhones or those new features - the notification just won't work - the UI is too old style, we need to click tab by tab and scroll I would rather use the web version. ### 3/5 — problem of the app *2015-10-14, version 2.1.3* Dear Sir/Madam, The mobile phone app for IOS always closes automatically. It may be due to the incompatibility with the latest IOS version. It is urgent to make improvement. Best Regards. ### 3/5 — 請更新iOS 7版，螢幕太短 *2013-11-10, version 1.3* 在iPhone 5上顯得畫面太短。 ### 3/5 — Pop out *2013-03-29, version 1.3* 一按進新聞公報就彈app ### 4/5 — 彈app *2011-09-16, version 1.2.3* 一禁press release就彈 搞搞佢 ### 1/5 — Completely Rubbish *2011-08-31, version 1.2.3* Completely Rubbish ### 1/5 — Update 埋個政府！！！ *2011-03-29, version 1.2.3* Update 個 app 有咩用？！ 垃圾政府施政永遠冇 update ### 1/5 — Not updated, a complete waste of time. *2011-01-30, version 1.2.2* The 'instant news' is always 1 or 2 days late, and all the news is from the view of the government. Even the radio is better. A complete piece of RUBBISH, just like the government ### 1/5 — Not up to date news app *2010-12-16, version 1.2* Absolute rubbish, news doesn't get update ... waste of time! ### 3/5 — can *2010-10-25, version 0* The language (Chi / Eng ) should be changed by user in app but not by default setting. Can it be more user-friendly? ### 3/5 — Exactly as described *2010-10-17, version 0* This app provides what it promises, government press releases. Unfortunately these are all very boring and I would much prefer to read about these on my regular newspapers with additional commentary. Would prefer some interesting exclusive content or features. Minuses: App prompted me to update even though I had just downloaded it from app store and there is a large internal advertisement on every page. ### 4/5 — Let us change the apps language *2010-10-13, version 0* Suggest to let us to change the language in the app instead of base on iOS default language. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crushed *2026-02-06, version 2.3.25* Only show the small ad.

No sign of loading. ### 1/5 — Please improve the app immediately *2020-05-18, version 2.3.6* Generally speaking, I feel perfectly fine before updating the app. Yet, I have no idea why those words changed from white letter to black letter, with the backdrop in black colour before clicked into deeply read the detail for each of content. Honestly, those black-letters revealing in the backdrop in black colour could not be easily read. Please fix the problem immediately!! Many thanks!! ### 1/5 — 沒有支持iOS 13 *2020-05-13, version 2.3.6* 剛剛下載最新版本，發現沒有支持dark mode，字幾乎看不到。點用？ ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2016-05-10, version 2.1.6* The app is about government news but even cannot issue weather warning signals and arrangement for schools.
