The cursor doesn’t work correctly. ### 3/5 — Not as good as Nikkei JP app *2024-09-28* feels very basic ### 4/5 — In general ok *2024-03-15, version 3.0* The app on mobile devices is working very well. What I miss is the possibility to change the font size while reading an article as the zoom function is disabled, but not leaving the article and go to settings then go back to the article. I also read the News on my PC and there the website is very slow to open and when changing to a different article. It would be good when using a link for a Nikkei article in the email when this would open the mobile app instead the web site ### 3/5 — 経済、などを英語で読みたい、英語を学んでみたい人向けにはいいと思います。 *2023-09-14* ただし、有料ですからよく考えて。 ### 5/5 — Better than western specialised western media *2023-07-22* It’s the most reliable source of information about Asia. The app can be improved and the article can be enriched with charts and stats. ### 5/5 — When can we receive an email?^^ *2023-05-20* Appreciated. ### 5/5 — First rate coverage and analysis *2023-05-11, version 2.6* Excellent news coverage and insightful analysis from Japanese perspectives, which are highly important in Asia and globally. Very important for anybody trying to stay current on events and on the leading edge of strategic thinking about geopolitics, economics, technology, and societal topics. ### 5/5 — Data driven news *2023-03-15* News based on data / graphs / analytics / figures is what we pay for! Keep up the great work. ### 3/5 — Fewer articles outside the paywall than competitors *2022-12-27, version 2.4* I know the internet is not free but the number of articles outside the paywall is a disappointment compared to more widely read/popular business papers. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stop asking for star and review *2023-12-07, version 2.8* Just start using this app, haven’t really been using it much and the app keep popping window asking me to rate it? Well, you will get it, but in a bad way, one star you will get from me! ### 1/5 — Difficulty navigating to sections *2023-09-05, version 2.8* The app does not work anything like the regular website. Accessing the business section returns stories out of chronological order. There is no way to order the returns to display most recent stories first. I am using iOS 16.6. ### 1/5 — I can’t scroll *2023-05-07* I can’t scroll on my iPhone ### 1/5 — Lousy for iPad *2023-02-10, version 2.6* New subscriber. Can’t increase the font size for iPad. In settings supposedly you can but feature doesn’t work. I have the iPad Pro 12.9 inch screen and can barely read the font. Lousy for anyone who needs larger font. Review two years advising of this. Fix it please or I’ll be canceling ### 1/5 — Poor user experience. Please learn from NYT app *2022-11-08, version 2.4* The app is just poor for modern day standard. Loading stories is painfully slow, search results terrible, and stories in email and outside links don’t auto-redirect to pop up into the app. Please hire proper developers to improve the app as it’s not what we should expect when subscription is not cheap. We don’t get what we pay for. ### 2/5 — 2025 update *2025-04-02, version 4.0* Recent update was bad for Apple only subscribers. All my saved articles were eliminated and now asking me to log in to sort news sections Update: still missing old saved articles Usability of app is good tho ### 2/5 — 2025 update *2025-02-28* Recent update was bad for Apple only subscribers. All my saved articles were eliminated and now asking me to log in to sort news sections Usability of app is good tho **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

Many times I try to scroll up or down, and it snaps back to the same position I was reading. Major nuisance that means I can’t read many articles now. ### 2/5 — page often cannot move *2023-09-11, version 2.8* don't know why but my page when reading articles cannot move up or down occasionally, looks like a software app bug ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ownar tha woman world *2025-05-11, version 4.1* my iphone in map protact my iphone 6s no one can tracking aneyowat ### 5/5 — Facts - actual News - Brilliant! *2025-02-19, version 3.0* Hi trust journalism, such a relief after many subsiding into wanna-be opinion makers and Ai slop content ### 5/5 — Great Asia Insight *2025-01-06, version 3.0* Nikkei Asia is my go-to source to be informed on breaking, unfolding, and current news and topics affecting the APAC region, which in turn reverberates around the inter-connected globe. A great publication, with objective, factual reporting. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Most informative *2024-09-29, version 3.0* Great review of what’s happening in terms of Finance and Politics in Asia. A must for keeping in touch. ### 5/5 — Good content for expats in Asia *2024-09-28, version 3.0* It covers a lot of areas, including business and political trends in Asia and globally from Asian perspectives. Highly recommended and the subscription is cheaper than Japan Times. ### 5/5 — Ok *2024-05-17, version 3.0* Ok ### 5/5 — Fundamentally easy to manage data based systems *2024-04-09, version 3.0* Thanks fully for your professionalism in publishing business ### 5/5 — Useful information *2024-02-10, version 2.9* Nikkie news is well written in the language everyday readers can enjoy and understand. I love the wide range of topics and in depth journalism. It gives me insight into what’s really happening in Asia. G. Lopez ### 5/5 — Please add Chinese *2023-11-20, version 2.8* Please add Chinese language or translate. Thanks ### 5/5 — Excellent coverage of Asia *2023-10-09, version 2.8* In many ways complements it’s ownership of the FT with an Asia worldview. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
