The version on iPhone Ain't the same as iPad and android. It's much userfriendlier on my iPhone. The rest are PC versions. An app should not be PC version.

C70%
by C####:

Please consider providing a mobile version instead of scanned paper version for small screen device. Also the zoom feature will be restored to original size while the app switched to background. Very annoying.

Needs to be a real app where we can click and just stroll to read the news...not download and zoom in and out...

Why don't you give an electronic version? It's so clumsy and frustrating to read such tiny texts while scrolling left and right. iOS has electronic one why android doesn't?

B70%
by B####:

Almost impossible to use on a 5in screen even with full HD. The zoom needs to be a lot higher.

by Y####:

Im glad this app finally came to android, but the zooming and panning around a page feels sluggish and not how you would expect it to move around. Also, if this is a english newspaper, why are the settings all-chinese?

V70%
by V####:

For an English language paper to produce an app that defaults to Chinese characters in all menus is ridiculous. At the very least there should be a clear option to show language preferences and the default interface should be in English.

Q70%
by Q####:

It's good to have the mobile version of this newspaper. Unfortunately all the app instruction is in chinese which not inline with the content. Please the developer change all to English. Thx

Why advertise in the paper in English if not available to download in English?

C70%

Is there any articles separately? It's hard to read now.

Thanks singtao for making app of the standard for andriod, now i don’t need to run for printed version and comfortably sitting or standing elsewhere to check the news!

U70%
by U####:

It's a great way to keep updated with the news. But would be better if you could zoom in more to make the text bigger so you can read easier

Limited zoom option. I have a phablet & finds it hard to read. How can you read with a 4 ish inch screen?

I only use SII and i can see it all by zooming it, thanks now i don't need to run to get the news paper.

R70%
by R####:

Ported crap directly from iTunes. Can't even be bothered to change the support website to show both iOS and android links. Pretty much unusable with a high res screen even with '200'% zoom. Its like they took a flash app and just recompired directly to iOS and android. Utter crap.

by S####:

I like reading standard, if i can read text version instead of scanned version that would be perfect!

S70%
by S####:

The "zoom ceiling" setting is really stupid; I thought this app was useless until I changed it. Otherwise this is a great app!
