✓ Restored to Its Former iPad Glory!!UPDATE: 2019-05-25 Thank you. Thank you! THANK YOU!!! Thank you for restoring this app to being one of THE best iPad news apps in the App Store. It’s glorious. And, it’s back to deserving FIVE (5) STARS. UPDATE: 2019-04-18 NONE (0) of the updates since this new version was released at the beginning of the month have fixed these issues. This is NOT a universal app: This is merely a blown-up, high-definition version of the iPhone app. This app is NOT an iPad app. Do NOT bother installing on an iPad. iPads are NOT phone-less iPhones; nor, are they large iPod Touches. iPad users work almost entirely in LANDSCAPE mode and rarely if ever in portrait, unless forced to do so by a poorly designed app like this one. It is so sad that this app, which used to be beautifully designed for iPad, is now so badly implemented for iPad that it has become unusable. ORIGINAL REVIEW: 2019-04-02 The SCMP app was one of my favorite news apps. It WAS truly worth every bit of FIVE (5) STARS. It is NOW barely worth the ONE (1) STAR the latest update has reduced it to. This update has made the app virtually unusable on iPads. I’d like to say that I could switch to reading the SCMP via a browser, but that will never happen because without receiving iOS notifications, I’d never think to go to the SCMP site. Specifically, the app has been ruined for the iPad. In fact, it appears that the iPad has been completely disregarded in the creation of this new app. As it is now, the app is presented entirely in portrait mode. iPads are NOT phone-less iPhones; nor, are they large iPod Touches. iPad users work almost entirely in LANDSCAPE mode and rarely if ever in portrait, unless forced to do so by a poorly designed app. Here are some lowlights of the update: • new app is PHYSICALLY AWKWARD in portrait mode, and extremely so. • new app is VISUALLY AWKWARD in portrait mode, and extremely so. • moving through the app is cumbersome and complex. • there is no well-populated compact display of multiple articles from which one can make choices. • the vast space of the iPad screen that is available for useful and coherent layout is wasted. • the previous version of this app, in LANDSCAPE mode, was infinitely superior to this latest layout. It is such a shame that the new version of the app has been rendered so useless for iPad users. I will certainly miss reading and sharing articles from the SCMP each and every day has I have always done, until now. Turning away iPad users, means we will no longer be reading and sharing your articles. Our not sharing your articles means iPad users will no longer be driving traffic to your site. It seems to me, then, that alienating iPad users is a market not worth losing. Thank you..Version: 5.1.0
✓ News from homeWe live in UK, I’m English and my wife of 54 years is from Hong Kong. We get so much information about Hong Kong that helps her to bring back fond memories from the past. As we don’t get back to Hong Kong very often the online news app helps us both to see how much Hong Kong has changed over the years. We see loads of news about Sha Tin as only a few hundred meters along the road is her brothers restaurant (Sai Sha) . Good reading great app,thanks..Version: 4.3.13

✓ SCMP listened to my reviewI’ve been using the app for a few years. In early 2019 SCMP changed the layout making it difficult to use en enjoy as mush. I wrote to SCMP to convey my review.

✓ Good, with some flawsOverall, I enjoy the content and the generally balanced reporting of news on China. However, there are several suggestions and room for improvement in my opinion: 1. The app should support dark mode so that it makes it easier for readers to read at night or those who want to read the news after they just woke up. 2. Better UI design for iPads. Right now, it is very awkward to operate on iPad, especially when one clicks on an article. The half menu half content display is very uncomfortable and unnecessary. 3. Comment section should be integrated with the page, not be directed to another page.Version: 6.0.14
