It would be very helpful if you could make the font size adjustable, the current size is too small for my eyes. Otherwise it's a good app, one of my go-to sources on current events in China. Thank you.

Used to be great, but recent BJ crackdowns have utterly neutered Sixth Tone. I'm in morning for what used to be excellent and interesting journalism from them.

Big fan. High quality press. Just good humble opinion pieces that I find highly relatable as an expat in Shanghai that gives me an insight to modern life in China.
