Ratings and reviews

I would have loved to have given this app 5 stars for making credible and authoritative news available to Chinese-speaking readers around the world. The critical problem is that there is no tool for increasing the app character font size. The default character size in the app is so small as to make the text nearly illegible. The irony is that the web-browser version has such a tool, but it actually doesn't need the tool. Whereas the app desperately needs such a tool.

I have noticed a technical issue with the application. When I select traditional Chinese as my preferred language, the news articles are displayed in simplified Chinese instead. Could you please look into this matter and rectify the issue? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is a terrific app for learning Chinese - use a character identifier like Hanping Popup to read the characters and compare them with the English translation. Great for improving your knowledge of the syntax of longer sentences, as well as getting some reportage from China. A big thank you to NYT for this!
