SCMP - Breaking Hong Kong & China News

Apps finally stops crashing whenever I opened it. However, I would appreciate it if you could make the typeface smaller and change it to one more aesthetically pleasing

When sharing articles on What's App, the link preview function doesn't integrate well due to the abbreviated web address. It just says "Redirecting sc.mp" in the what's app.

Excellent app delivering Hong Kong, China and world news. Prior to the latest update the app repeatedly crashed when opened from the notification panel on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. This update resolved the issue. Kudos to the developer.

Author notified me that app was upgraded. So reinstalled it, and found that he was wrong. App was REBORN ... a 100% improvement. Thank you for your TLC. Rerated as 5 (finally). Try it and rerate if you have the same experience.

Fast and smooth! Love the "Save Article" function and how you can choose which alerts to receive.

The home screen app present font size and layout arrangement only allows me to view at most 3 headlines per scroll in my 5 inch screen. Previously in the older version I've been able to view up till 5. The font size is too huge in this current version. Please allow adjustment even at home screen

Older fonts were better

Finally I can use google translate inside articles

please have optimization for 10" tab. fonts are small, too much white space, make reader dont want to stay longer. can compare how bbc made theirs.

Notification doesn't expand and the icon in the notification bar remains the same

The app is sometimes difficult to navigate, takes too long to load, and closes too often that moving out of the app in the middle of reading, to check email for instance, will find the app relaunches upon returning and greeted by the article listing instead of the news I was reading.

Great push notifications. Breaking news on SCMP comes out before New York Times! Great coverage of the Mainland too.

Please let users increase font size. The captions on the news list are too tiny. Hope it will add this function soon.

Content is good but the app drains battery

Excellent upgrade!

Very good news

Very concise, good variety of articles,way above average app;one of the best.

Using this app is a real PITA as it jumps automatically somewhere when about to reach the end of an article. So if if one wants to read the full text you have to start over again. This ought to be corrected with the next update!

In my view this is the best news app

Good window to view china...

Noice and free.

Let me know the latest news

please allow copy and highlight functions

Not good not stable

Reasonable

Since the launch of the new app, SCMP has become significantly more user friendly and more responsive. Keep up the good work!

Spat with mainland China.

Great read had it on my other phone as well.

As some of you noted, as of today, only the headline, one picture and one big advertisement are showing. NO MAIN TEXT. Ali ur baba.

App opens to blank screen with only the header displayed on the latest version of Android.

News can not be showed, only headline and an ad are displayed. Please fix this bug on the Android 6.0. Thanks.

User friendly. Informative.

Instantly installed and great reception. No problem. Thanks SCMP.

Great

I hope in the near future we will be able to zoom or increase font size.

A good improvement over the previous app. However not able to copy and paste parts of an article on a mobile device to share. Can only share the entire article. An option to increase or decrease the font size would be helpful too. As many readers do travel and read from our devices, this app would be great to have offline reading capability option (eg. whilst in the air) with a pre-loaded cache of all the current day's articles . The Economist app already caches all the current edition without any fuss.

I lost all faith in SCMP's former app for being far too slow and cumbersome to use, resorting instead to the mobile website to read the news. This refreshed app, however, is a strong step in the right direction. Only complaint is that there are WAY too many "breaking news" alerts. It's like the editors are trying to make a big deal out of small news stories to try and lure you back into the app.

Why so many updates? The latest update dated 19 May 2016, has caused a conflict with "X-plore" file manager culminating in an irritating error which is unable to display the home screen properly and therefore shows HTML script... I have been using this app since 2014 without many issues but this really gets the gold medal for the app with the most dubious update!

Great to see the app getting better with updates. Eg the news notifications now have an icon, and display multiple lines. And opening the app from a notification seems to take me to the actual article now.

Now this is what an newspaper app should be! Big improvement from the previous one. It actually get things done! But I hope I could increase the text size and font. Also please allow me to copy text.
