### 4/5 — Govt controlled news

*2021-11-06*

Decent app.  Can swipe left to change page.  Can pinch to zoom. Newspaper provides good insight into mainland China propaganda machine, censorship and USA bashing. All articles are pro China. No negative news about any issues within the country. Business and economy oriented.

### 1/5 — 怎么打不开啊？？？？？

*2019-01-02*

打不开啊！！！！！

### 1/5 — 根本打不开

*2018-08-29*

重新下载也打不开，一直是黑屏

### 1/5 — 看不了

*2018-08-03*

为什么看不了呢，是因为收费的原因吗

### 1/5 — Slow and Rubbish

*2018-01-22*

Better use a good pdf reader instead. Could not even login with a china e-paper only account.

### 5/5 — 这个咋登陆啊

*2016-10-15*

邮箱搞好几次都登陆不了

### 1/5 — Current version has problems

*2015-04-02*

In the current version, after you select an article, it will be shown when any other article is selected.

### 4/5 — Functional

*2013-02-04*

Already a China Daily subscriber, this app is just one more way to read the newspaper.  Whilst it can seem a bit clunky it actually has some innovative features which, with practice, can significantly enhance reading.  Works well on iPhone.

### 1/5 — 产品做得足够好，吸引用户足够多了再收费不行吗？

*2012-12-14*

我就纳闷了，着什么急啊？你的产品做得尽善尽美了吗？你的用户多得足够忽略收费后即将流失的用户了吗？你们是想把这些客户端的用户全部赶去买你们的纸质版吗？

### 1/5 — 部分功能不能实现

*2012-10-02*

我是花钱订购的，可是已经有一个星期产品不能听新闻，给客服写信也没人理，要求解释！
