Nice topics but the app is unnecessary

For someone who already follows their WeChat page, I wanted the app in order to follow certain authors, topics and save articles I liked . But these features don’t seem to exist which rendered the app useless for me

Very informative, good stories

We have news sources from the west. But no good choices from the inside. Now, this is the one.
