5/5Nice speech feature
Great app! If you press the audio icon it will read the page and the ones to follow in mandarin. Great when going for a run or when brushing up on my chinese.

2/5Buggy
Cannot search for the app in iOS using Zaobao. Have to type 早报 instead. Not useful to require switching of language just to get into app. Fails to consider practicality

2/5There are a lot of ads
a lot of ads ,if you touch ads carelessly when you are sliding the screen, then the website will jump out. Bad user experience

1/5Display ads to subscribers?!
Don’t buy. They display ads to subscribers. Some ads will pop up other windows as long as you touch them, will regard your drag and scroll as a click. Super annoying!
