Top and up to date news appear quickly in their own section. The search function works very well.

There is little here worth wasting your time with. ### 1/5 — Just pathetic *2022-03-15, version 3.0.2* It is not for humans but for brainwashed individuals ### 1/5 — Inaccurate news. *2022-03-12* One sided and poorly written, using basic English and limited vocabulary. Missing in-depth journalism. Typical Chinese reporting. ### 1/5 — Ukraine war *2022-03-04, version 3.0.2* Your coverage is minimal and doesn’t convey the whole story. Look at Al Jazeera’s coverage. You should be able to do as well as them, but you aren’t even close. ### 1/5 — Worst news app *2018-01-25, version 1.1.1* Numerous typos. Confusing content. ### 2/5 — Embarrassing *2025-06-17, version 4.1.0* I expected Chinese journalists to be more objective. Instead the article repeats Natanyahu interview comments with no analysis or counterpoint. It’s a shame that this great country is still bashful about confronting realities of today. Strategic thinking is replaced with immediate financial interests. ### 2/5 — Bad order of newsfeed and font color in dark mode *2024-02-13, version 4.0.0* Please sort the newsfeed in the order of updating time. I usually miss the updated news, which are placed below the old news. I have reported this issue 3 times, this one inclusive. But there is no improvement at all. And please change the color of font in dark mode to white not light grey. ### 2/5 — 张 *2019-06-18, version 1.3.0* 分享出去的链接点不开，据说很可能是新华社客户端生成的网页共享链接有问题所致 ### 3/5 — Embarrassing *2026-05-17, version 5.3.1* I expected Chinese journalists to be more objective. Instead the article repeats Natanyahu interview comments with no analysis or counterpoint. It’s a shame that this great country is still bashful about confronting realities of today.
