In the last 2 months, more and more articles display a warning message instead that instruct viewers go to the UDN website. This only happened on my iPad. ### 4/5 — Dark Mode please! *2023-10-10* I really love the app and the content, but if you can include the dark mode feature, that will be fantastic! ### 4/5 — Dark Mode please! *2023-09-24* I really love the app and the content, but if you can include the dark mode feature, that will be fantastic! ### 4/5 — 老款iPhone一直開屏頁無法略過 *2023-05-21, version 4.14.1* 產品設計太差了，老款iPhone一直開屏頁無法略過。「略過」那個button頂到上邊框了，點擊不識別，然後開屏介面一直卡在哪裡，不會自動進入資訊頁。也真是服了，一家那麼大的媒體居然做出來的app這麼差勁！ ### 3/5 — constantly crushed before ads popped up *2022-03-09, version 4.6.0* plz fix it thx! from long time reader ### 2/5 — There’s a bug in your app *2022-01-30* I think there’s a bug in your app because every time after I read a news, it will log me out of the app. Please check the app, thank you . Sincerely, Cheryl Chen ### 4/5 — App Crashes *2022-01-24* UDN app is my go-to Taiwanese news outlet. Unfortunately, the app has been unstable for some time now. Especially it will close itself after viewing several news. ### 2/5 — So annoying- too many ads popped up all the times *2020-06-01* It’s rally annoying to use this app ads keeps popping up the cover the screen when you launch it and after you click the links to read news every single news would come up at least 2 ads, you can hardly review the news. ### 1/5 — Ad covers the whole page without an option to close the ad *2020-03-08* There is no way to bypass the ad when first open the app! The ad would cover the whole page and unable to close the ad, making it impossible to read or click into any news. Basically a useless app now. 首頁上被大廣告全遮蓋住，無法關閉廣告，無法點入廣告後方的任何新聞。在螢幕上點頻馬上被帶去廣告的連結網頁。這app如今只能點入廣告連結了!了解UDN想用廣告點擊來賺錢，不過被騙了幾次後，讀者一定卸掉這app，騙點閱次數並不是長久之計。 ### 2/5 — 暗黑模式下無法閱讀 *2020-02-07, version 3.4.0* iOS13.3 暗黑背景設定下無法閱讀新聞。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed app. Countless Ads shows up every news *2026-02-08* This news paper app is sick and going crazy. Several Advertisements are showing up on every news. Avoid using it. **Developer response:** Hello: Thank you for your feedback. We will investigate whether there are other more user-friendly modes. Have a nice day! United Daily News App Customer Service Center ### 1/5 — Poor audio management and lots ads *2025-11-17* Video Ads pop up automatically without click. Very annoying. When open the app, it starts to use audio, so you can listen to music and read news at the same time. Those ads audio would play automatically. Very bad experience. **Developer response:** Dear: Thank you for your feedback. We will study whether there are other more user-friendly modes. Thank you for using the udn News APP. Have a nice day! United Daily News App Customer Service Center ### 1/5 — 新聞的更新速度 *2025-10-18* 觀察很久，聯合報新聞即時性像「慢郎中」，遇到連假或Overnight ，更是”舊聞”高高掛，相反的「中時新聞」更新和反應的速度都超前很多!貴報網路新聞收費，應該要有更好、更即時的表現，期待你們改進一下吧！ **Developer response:** 您好： 謝謝您的意見反映，建議您轉至同一款APP的 udn news 閱讀，這裡的即時新聞更新速度很快。感謝您愛用udn News APP。 祝您有美好的一天！ 聯合報系 App 客服中心 敬覆 ### 1/5 — New design *2023-11-23, version 4.18.1* Why the news redirect to web side?
