### 4/5 — iPad Adaptive Please

*2025-09-29*

Really need the iPad version this app to read news, please consider adding this adaption.

### 5/5 — People’s Daily

*2025-06-29*

Real News from the People’s Republic of China and the Communist Party of China. Trustworthy!

### 5/5 — Worth a look!!

*2024-09-18*

Solid app

### 5/5 — My morning starts with People’s Daily

*2024-09-12*

Almost every morning I start my news consumption with People’s Daily. I like to see the events of China and the world through Chinese eyes before I start seeing everyone else’s perspective. I also read Al Jazeera, the BBC, CNN, and EuroNews. The reason I read PD first, is that I know I will get a distorted version of it from anywhere else. I do find that the coverage of Xi Xinping is little bit too much sometimes. I would like to see more of what is happening with the populace than with him, but I understand the need to write about him. 

While the “news” is my primary interest, one feature that I really love is the Chinese professor reading poetry. It is beautiful and I listen over and over to each one you publish. I wish there were more written about Chinese literature. I recently discovered the author Jia Pingwa. What a treasure. I think Chinese literature is not available enough here in the US. Literature can change the lens through which we see each other. Please share more about the best authors in China. 

Thank you for reading this and thank you for enlightening me to many new places and things. I wish I could visit.

### 4/5 — Pretty good, technical flaws

*2022-03-03*

The site is good except the headline search bar and keyword search system are clunky, and I saw a few typos on headlines in the English translation.

### 2/5 — Was Great!

*2020-08-29*

Was Great, however the app has become cumbersome and slow. Please China Daily fix it!

### 5/5 — 如果文章可以汉语的翻译就好了

*2020-03-04*

如果中英文都有的话可以方便学生学习及了解国家大事

### 2/5 — 建议改进

*2019-10-25*

要是像学习强国那样有文章录音就好了。有外放对我们练习听力、学习英语有很大帮助。

### 4/5 — 翻译

*2019-09-26*

美中不足、希望可以增加中英互译功能

### 5/5 — 每天看英文版新闻，时事了解了英语也学会了

*2019-04-16*

能搞多点国内有趣新闻更好，现在的新闻都太正规和官方了。比如最近奔驰漏油，整点漏油的采访之类的就很好
