What's New in The Standard

v4.1.2

March 31, 2026

Stability and performance improvements.

User reviews

Really bad interface and slow.

Definitely needs improvement. Very slow moving app and poor interface. Takes too long for articles to load rendering it near useless. Could use some tips from a well known rival - SCMP.

App isn't working

I am never able to load the app ...

Should update asap

That's good apps. But so far haven't supported the iPhone5 screen size yet. That's quite disappointed.

Great App

The only feature I would love to see added is the ability to share articles via Twitter. I hope to cancel my SCMP subscription this year end as this app have made my HK news browsing a lot easier.

Great App!

All Hong Kong people should get this App for their iPhone!!
