Epoch Times: Live & Breaking for Negative User Reviews
✓ Only for paid subs nowYou have to pay to read now..Version: 2.30.15
✓ Hard to see or find itemsNeed to offer more views, including index of items...Version: 2.32.1
✓ Steals data from your clipboardThe first thing this app did was to paste data from the clipboard of another app I had used earlier. Just like any Chinese software. Be warned..Version: 2.28.19
✓ Cross App Tracking, spying.If you don’t agree to allow the app to track your behaviour across apps it will not work. It’s sad that a name as reputable as Epoch Times (which bangs on about freedom of speech and has ties with NTD who constantly highlight how oppressive the CCP is and how it constantly tracks its citizens) disabled it’s app if you don’t allow it to track your behaviour across apps. It doesn’t even allow you to agree to cookie tracking within the app, the loading page will freeze and won’t allow you to do anything until you go into settings and activate cross tracking. It’s the first app I have used where I have encountered this behaviour including the more ‘aggressive’ social media apps which happily work with cross app tracking disabled. Until the Epoch Times app upholds the Epoch times alleged respect and defended of privacy I will have no option but to uninstall it..Version: 2.27.3
✓ Most Ridiculous Far Right PaperThis is the Fox News of newspaper. The most ridiculous, far-right conspiracy theories that have extreme racist, xenophobic, etc foundations. I could literally get my 3 year old nephew to write something more coherent..Version: 2.26.6
✓ Was good until ...They started blocking all articles and demanding money. Sharing information should be free. There are enough ads in this app to pay for it. What a waste and another example of commercialism gone bad..Version: 2.26.5
✓ Claims of unbiased journalism over ratedI want unbiased journalism! I don’t want to be emotionally manipulated by irresponsible headlines. The Epoch times sometimes delivers this …but pick up your game, Editors! You need to do a lot better!.Version: 2.30.11
✓ What is this evenHorrendous..Version: 2.26.1
✓ Very misleading and biased mediaI would recommend all countries be weary of this source of journalism. Their coverage on the US election is misleading showing Trump leading Biden 232 to 227. Most other media’s have projected Biden as winner including Fox News and countries congratulating the new president elect. It doesn’t show Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia in Biden’s favour but rather grey and showing Trump as leading. I vote either direction but this news media has me very wary of their intentions to mislead and divide the public. Their readers mirror their intentions, very anti-liberal, anti-left, anti- progressive, anti-Muslim, anti-universal social benefits, pro- gun, pro-life ....Version: 2.26.2
✓ Highly Biased and Disseminates Conspiracy TheoriesAre you looking for impartial news to subsequently form intelligent, informed opinions about the world around you? Definitely look elsewhere. Epoch Times is not even close to proper journalism, with no due diligence and loaded agendas and interest. Look for centre sources of news and use your own brain to form your own opinions..Version: 2.26.3
✓ UninstalledWas ok for a right biased news source. Started charging a subscription fee. Uninstalled..Version: 2.26.0
✓ Free, but… if you don’t pay, you can’t read.The app is free to get but the content is not. As simple as that!.Version: 2.31.3
✓ Was a great news app, until….Enjoyed this news app, read it often. Now, I can’t even open a good news article without a subscription notice flashing across the screen, blocking EVERY news article. What is this? I doesn’t make sense! I want the Epoch Times news, not these other subscriptions that I have to pay for! Not even worth 1 star….I’m deleting app and email notifications.Version: 2.30.13
✓ New app has bugsNothing but bugs since the last update. Getting repeats when I scroll and can’t get past four or five articles without a repeating same content . Other than that Epoch Times is awesome and a great source of real news and information..Version: 2.33.1
✓ Doesn’t play will with iOSI have had Epoch Times for 3 months and access it through either an iPad or iPhone, both of which are on current ios versions ( ios 14.4.1 ). My download data speed is in the 55-75 mbs range. I have never had download issues with any other app. The problem is that many, and actually that should be MANY ( pages and pages ) of the article titles are not available. You can click on the article title but it just goes into a spinning mode that never resolves. Epoch times offers an extensive guide of trouble shooting this problem, none of which are permanent fixes and all of which are time consuming. I conclude that that problem is not with the user’s individual device, but with Epoch’s servers. With the plethora of news resources that do quickly, consistently, and conveniently work on iOS it is hard to imagine why anyone would want to be frustrated by this problem, no matter how “good” the Epoch article may be. I would have rated it at Zero if that were an available rating, due to UI issues..Version: 2.26.9
✓ “Subscription”If u want ppl to subscribe to u then put it as voluntary not mandatory to subscribe… shame….Version: 2.30.9
✓ News is goodThe problem is too many emails, but worse is when you tap read more instead of opening the article in the app it opens in the browser asking for a payment. Ruins the whole experience..Version: 2.30.27
✓ Forced to accept tailored adsWhen I opened this app I was forced to agree to my data being used for tailored adverts in order to access content I paid for. This is illegal in the UK / Europe under GDPR. I uninstalled the app, but Apple should remove it from the App Store until it complies with GDPR..Version: 2.30.35
✓ Pure MoronismTitle says it all.Version: 2.26.4
✓ GREAT, truth news! But they make you buy a subscription to read it all :(GREAT, truth news! But they make you buy a subscription to read it all, so only 1 star..Version: 2.26.5
✓ TV Menu is empty now!It just looks like an empty skeleton for a single video, with nothingness nothing else. other features look OK Sometimes if a video is left open (previous version) and the app is reopened, the screen is black, forcing three button restart to recover. M I keep having to delete and reinstall because it loses track of my subscription. Often, after videos it leaves a completely black screen that is unresponsive, forcing me to restart- no other application behaves this badly..Version: 2.36.1
✓ GarbageNews outlet is pushing the corporate agenda. Be wary of anything from this source..Version: 2.30.19
✓ Still receiving pop-up ads etc,Just completed my trial subscription and began using the Epoch Times app. Still getting pop-up ads trying to up-sell me a better subscription which I have to close before proceeding to the article…getting tedious. Also certain articles are requiring me to create another account before I can proceed. Update: received note from developer indicating “bug was fixed” but had to delete app and reinstall update, which I did. Still receiving subscription pop-up ads which I can’t close out. Have to close and back out to main page over and over until the pop-up goes away. Can’t even enjoy my current subscription because the ads block my ability to read articles! Why would I want to continue my subscription?.Version: 2.29.3
✓ Ok if it was free..........It’s ok —- worth reading if it was free— but not worth paying for. Disappointed with it..Version: 2.26.5
✓ Very terrible appFull of fake news..Version: 2.26.2
✓ Stupid AppStupid app. I used the wrong email to log into it and I can’t find a way to change it or log out and try again. I receive far Too many emails from ET I thought if I used the App it might put a stop to them. Not Happy E T AND it tracks you!!!!.Version: 2.37.3
✓ WowThis is like reading a paper straight from the Kremlin. The future is dark if people are reading this garbage..Version: 2.30.21
✓ App works but features and articles are blandWhile the app works flawlessly, the articles generally do not cover top stories more popular mainstream media covers in order to give a non biased view of stories. Inside the app, you’ll find some general stories but they’re pretty bland. Nothing to write home about usually. Rarely any interesting enough to share. The riot stories are good but they won’t cover anything breaking news. Perhaps that’s because they don’t have enough people covering stories in person. I don’t know. As far as app features go, commenting is useless. You can comment as much as you want but there are no notifications to respond to someone. You lose your comments. It’s a waste. Not sure what the point of liking a story is either. It doesn’t seem to pull those up to any category of most liked or most read. They need to do some updates..Version: 2.25.5
✓ MoneyI payed for the subscription All I’m getting is news blocked by adds for more money.Version: 2.31.3
✓ This app STEALS your personal data!Why would a news site need to access the clipboard data from the users phone ever? This app copies this data to its database everytime you open the app..Version: 2.25.9
✓ Flogging SalesI am tired of having my news feed blocked by sales specials with no easy way to get around them. It is also hopeless to navigate the website/app. Russell.Version: 2.39.1
✓ Latest upgrade no goodSince the last upgrade I can’t read any of the articles, just the headlines. I have a subscription. This is really annoying - it went from being those most user friendly snd efficient application for news to bring virtually unusable. Not a happy customer!.Version: 2.30.11
✓ Not Unbiased by milesI have read these articles for a long time. They are always critical of the Chinese government, because of course they are great supporters of Taiwan. So when it comes to China reporting they will regurgitate whatever propaganda comes out of the west. They will refuse to apply proof, and seem incapable of critical thinking. The paper has largely entertainment value. When a paper is prepared to lie even sometimes, you can never ever trust them again..Version: 2.28.7
✓ App Just Got EvilAfter the last update a couple things started happening that really ticking me off. First of all, I am already a subscriber to the paper and digital version. Previously this was more than enough for the app to function when I logged in. However, now when I opened the app after the last update, I was prompted to not only sign in but then subscribe via the App Store. Being early in the morning and not having thought things through I thought maybe my subscription was already under the App Store and I was being asked to renew it so I did. And then when I realized I was already a subscriber I reached out to them via support channels asking why I was being asked to re-subscribe via the App Store. Their answer was useless. It basically told me they don’t manage App Store subscriptions “here’s how you manage your subscriptions in the App Store.” I replied that this reply was useless and did not answer my question about why I’m being asked to subscribe when I already am a subscriber. I have yet to hear back from them after that. Then, this morning when I opened the app up my phone notified me that the app had pasted from my clipboard. This is some tik-tok level bull crap. Fix it!.Version: 2.28.17
✓ They make it really hard to cancelI like the Epoch Times. But I’m trying to cut back on spending, esp monthly payments. So I want to cancel my subscription. Like the other reviewer said, you have to go through several pages of “are you sure you want to cancel? Here take this better offer” and they don’t give you an option to just cancel. Early this morning I tried for a half hour to cancel. Even HAD to watch a video where the guy talks about how he wants to make canceling as easy as possible. Seriously? And then after them basically begging and offering credits and three free months and then 4.99 a month to stay, you still can’t cancel. I don’t want three free months and then a lower price. I want to cancel. This isn’t that hard to understand. I don’t want to have to call a phone number and talk to someone who’s going to try to convince me not to cancel and then guilt trip me about not being patriotic if I cancel. I’m sure I’d have an easier time canceling a msm subscription. You really want to make it as easy as possible to cancel? Give us a legitimate “CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION” button that actually does what it says..Version: 2.28.23
✓ It’s based on trump and anti ChinaIt’s the worst newspaper ever.Version: 2.25.1
✓ A subscriber alreadyDespite the fact that I am already a subscriber, I am constantly targeted by ads to subscribe..Version: 2.35.7
✓ The Epoch Times is changingI started reading the Epoch Times, because I came to understood it to be the most balanced, fair, and independent source for legitimate news, without bias. But sadly, the Epoch Times is beginning to show more and more articles from biased left media sources, such as the Associated Press, and Reuters. I didn’t purchase a subscription to read those articles. I can read them pretty much just about anywhere else. Even Epoch itself is moving more to the left, with how their articles are being written. It’s subtle, but it’s becoming more and more noticeable. And be prepared to spend about at minimum, 10-20 minutes trying to cancel a subscription with them. They try their hardest to get you to keep your subscription, offering you discounts, then making you watch a video before proceeding to where you think you can finally cancel your subscription, only to find out you have to call them to cancel it. Then, when you get to talking to one of their representatives, they ask you to listen to a scripted message before they actually cancel your subscription. Even telling them that you don’t want to listen to their message, they tell you anyway. I don’t need, or desire to have to go through all that, and waste so much time, just to cancel my subscription. Overall, I’m disappointed that Epoch is going this route. What a shame..Version: 2.28.11
✓ No Chinese languageGood app but where is Chinese support?.Version: 2.29.17
✓ App ease of useThankfully we now have direct access to real news stories via your App. However being in older age group with only access via an iPhone I have great difficulty in ‘copy & paste’ the whole story into an email. I can copy each paragraph separately. Very tedious. I just want to…..Select All…. of the article… please? I understand the hyperlink is there, but I want to send just the total story … in words… It makes for clear easy referencing in later access for me, not having a Computer. Am I just .. old…help 🤔😳🤣🤣.Version: 2.29.7
✓ What a load.I mean, seriously? Embarrassing..Version: 2.26.5
