About this app

As Hong Kong’s English-language newspaper of record, our international team of Asia experts, reporters, journalists, photographers and filmmakers are dedicated to providing breaking news and analysis from Hong Kong, China and beyond.

Our unique home base of Hong Kong allows us to have in-depth understanding of the China story from an insider’s perspective, while enjoying a high level of press freedom and independence granted by the city’s special constitutional principle of “One country, two systems”. Today, our dedication to representing the region with our editorial motto, “truth and fairness” is more relevant than ever before.

As with all news sources, there is a taste of their political bias in their articles. Even with this bias, I trust it as a source of reliable information, although i use it in combination with multiple other news outlets to get the complete picture. The app itself is pretty great, with a sleek and simple interface that mimics but is not a cut and paste job of the desktop website.

This used to be a really good app. All the news items were clearly ordered one after the other according to different categories. You could page down and pen the itens you were interested in. Now it is very confusing, large headlines obscuring other articles, then you page down, and articles you've just read keep reappearing. It gives the impression it has been designed by a monkey. I wish I could go back to the previous version. It says so much better.
