### 4/5 — Diversifying news

Updated SE Asian business news.

### 5/5 — Excellent Service!!!

Excellent and good quality news with good insights

We truly appreciate your positive feedback. It’s great to know you value the quality and insights in our news content. Thank you for your support!

### 1/5 — Terrible space management on app

*2024-11-29*

Too many ads on news and the latest version shrinks the pieces further away from the edges of the ipadOS screen. Worst news app on the street!

### 1/5 — I device limitation in this day and age!!

*2021-03-30*

I cant believe i am still limited to one login device in this day an age. Most business persons have at least 2 or if not 3 devices.
Business Times if could pols look into this and update this

### 3/5 — Buggy app...

*2015-01-04*

I don't like the fact that ads are embedded in the news article itself, which limits reading space and proves too much of a distraction. 
Also, the app experience is very buggy to the point of irritating when it frequently syncs itself automatically or failed to download any content.

### 1/5 — Frustrating user experience

*2014-11-12*

The pop up ads are a major source of irritation and frustration; especially for a paid subscription. You don't find the FT or the NYT resorting to that to drive revenue growth. It's self defeating. Everyone else is minimizing clicks and making easier for users to get to the information they want. And perhaps charge for it. The BT is doing the exact opposite. Putting in a roadblock and reminding users what a hassle it is to use the paid app. It's sad because the content can be quite good, at times. The latest update is also "laggy" on the scroll function.

### 1/5 — Unable to launch

*2014-11-02*

After updating, unable to launch through my iPhone 5S with iOS 8.1. Please investigate and fix the possible default as early as possible, please. Thanks.

### 1/5 — iPhone 5 optimization?

*2013-06-29*

Is there ever going to be an upgrade to accommodate the iPhone 5's larger screen?

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2012-12-30*

Crashes

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2012-10-25*

Crashes during opening on iOS6 / iphone5
