In my experience, there is one pop-up ad when you first open the app, and within the articles themselves, there are ads scattered between paragraph making the reading experience slightly disruptive. The issue to me however, is how I'm paying for a newspaper service that crashes when I want to read the paper. After scrolling for some time, it crashes and I have to scroll to that article again. TL;DR: 1. Lots of ads but tolerable 2. App crashes often and is inconvenient

The new app layout is unfriendly and limited. E-paper section has removed 2 functionalities. 1. Landscape to read is absent! 2. Full-size, full-screen e-paper used to fill the entire device screen, latest version is showing the icon, status bar of battery, clock etc. Unacceptable and disappointing. Please listen to feedback, survey of your customers, readers. Correct and thanks very much. Update 02Dec2020. A truly frustrating user experience.Unacceptable slow fixes for a paid bundle SPH service

Terrible? The online version in the app is filled with ads that colour the page with a bright colour suddenly which makes it so hard to read and there are just ads everywhere. I am a subscriber by using a student account and yet I still have to deal with the ads and the glitchy loading? Don't know if it's because of the student account or what but it's not great.
