Great application and is stable and doesn't hang. However some info graphics should be easier to scroll and more intuitive as it's hard to use sometimes without a scroll bar or button.

My review is not just the app itself but for SCMP. I like it that I can always see news that I'm interested in: the trend of global development, contemporary culture and also insight comments on topics. I would appreciate it if the app maker can include function of "bookmark for read later" like what Google Newsstand is offering.

Hi Lunwen, Thanks for your feedback - we agree our old app was too slow. The good news is that we've rebuilt the app from the ground up making it much much faster to load (seriously). I hope you'll give it a try and let us know what you think.
Ben Abbotts - Digital Product Development The latest version of this app is very user friendly and each new update is worthwhile. Great improvement!!

Hi Peter! If you liked our previous version I hope you'll take a minute to update to our latest version. We've rebuilt the app from the ground up optimizing the layout, adding a few handy features as-well-as making it lightning fast to load. I hope you'll give it a try and share your thoughts.
Ben Abbotts - Director, Digital Product Development Great East Asia & world coverage! Unfortunately, the 'comments' section has really gone down hill over the last couple of years. There used to be thought-out, respectful debate here.
It really would be better if it could display articles in its own font (as on the SCMP website) instead of Roboto.
Awesome. Insight on asia . A must get app if you are into major and trivia topics happening in the Far east .
The new update seems to not allow for easy reading as in the past. Stories looked packed like hawkers shop
This app have always been closed by the loophole when i copied the word few times
Glad scmp had listened and made layout improvement on 10" tab. next may make the page cleaner and organized. only real top stories should be on the page of top story. do not crowd too many less important stories on the top page. picture and small texts are always good companions for readers to get to the story quicky. i see some are texts only currently.

Hi Marc, Thanks for your great feedback! We agree, so we've gone ahead & optimized our app for tablets. If you update your app to version 4.1.0 from the play store you should it. I hope you'll take a moment to download it - we'd love to hear what you think! Thanks for your ongoing support. Ben Abbotts, Digital Product Development SCMP is now just another communist mouthpiece with highly politicalized news. Uninstalling after 3 years, no regret.

Hi Marcus, sorry you've been experiencing problems with our app. The good news is that we've rebuilt the app from the ground up making it much more stable, adding a few handy features as-well-as making it lightning fast to load. I hope you'll give it a try and let us know what you think.
Ben Abbotts - Director, Digital Product Development I feel that SCMP (And Bangkok Post also) is difference from many media. It's balance and fair for every reader.
Great source. Disagree with political articles from U.S. media in regards of Trump policies. AP, WAPO, NYT, CNN, MSNBC, are no trustworthy sources but fake news. SCMP should know better.
Great source of news and trends in China, HK and East Asia. Well written and with good political balance.
There's a bug ever since this app changed to the current UI a few months ago, when users were notified of new articles on our phone's notifications (outside of app). Most of these headlines appearing on our list of notifications do not come with it's cover picture but I do understand this is a new feature... More importantly, the headlines only partially appear in our notifications - where the scrolling function to view the entire article's headlines doesn't work at all. Can the app developers fix this bug asap? This wasn't a problem in the previous UI.
Terrible app. Can't post comments,always something wrong and can't open. Deleted!
Good news delivery. The app is well layout, news articles are comprehensive but not overwhelming. Sufficient enough to attract readers attention and discreetly inviting readers to explore more. Thanks to the SCMP good work to present news well.

Hi Hong Wing, Thanks for your rating and feedback. We've just updated the app squashing a few more bugs which were causing the app to crash for a small portion of our users. I hope you'll update and let us know what you think. Ben Abbotts, Digital Product Team Compared to a few months ago, the design is much better - both in user-friendliness and functionality. However, the reason I am giving this three stars is more directed at the SCMP editors. I receive updates (which I have now turned off) about so called "breaking news". In all the instances this has happened, not once has it been something I would deem to be "breaking". For example, the number of people at today's (July 1) protest can't really be considered to be a breaking story.

Hi Adrian, Thanks for your feedback, glad you're enjoying the new app design, features and experience. Will make sure your thoughts are shared with the editorial team. Ben Abbott's, Digital Product Team Review deleted
