Version 6.2.0

I enjoy SCMC’s coverage. However, at HK$83/month, I shouldn’t be forced to watch advertisement pop-ups with countdown clocks. These pop-up ads in the app really degrade the experience and cheapen the SCMP brand. Additionally, when clicking through to an SCMP article from another website like Facebook, there’s no “Open in App” button, so it’s difficult to get past the pay wall despite being a paid subscriber. Edit: another unavoidable pop-up today with no desirable option – either “add this section to the top menu” or “remind me next week”. I can’t just read the article without choosing one. Why???

If you’re looking to get the mostly official China perspective and an English language window into China, the SCMP is worth a look. It’s predictably biased with respect to pushing China’s foreign policy and taking an anti-West editorial approach. To avoid having readership completely dry up, It does so in a soft manner rather than the old Pravda hardline approach. Did try a subscription to get around the paywall limits but didn’t find much worth looking at beyond the front page. The limited free version is enough to get China’s perspective but don’t waste your money paying for it.

After seeing a lot of ads even with the paid version, I decided to cancel. Then I realized that the trial period perhaps is not a trial. IOS says I will still be charged $100 and more. Sounds like some kind of scam, if we think about it. Watch out! Also, the editors need to learn how to be objective on both sides of their stories, and make the headlines less sensational. Even if I still have access to the product, I chose to delete the app. It’s bad mental health.
