Not a good source of news

Free Asia may be a good radio station, but this app is definitely not a good one by any means. The content is not refreshed timely. UI is poorly designed. The comics column has only one author, and always the same one.

The journalism here is incredible quality that gives a truly hopeful vibe for betterment to come.

TY RFA - Your work is deeply appreciated on my part.
