Ads even for paid edition
I hate opening this app. Every time I’m greeted with a 5 second ad - if I’m on free then that’s fine but this is hardly acceptable on a paid edition.

South China Morning Post: News Reviews
Way too many ads
I'd rather pay a little more in my subscription than use an app with full screen ads on timers. It's unusable for me and I will use my web browser instead.
Bothersome
I pay for my subscription, but why do I still get ads that stop me from reading immediately?
i can not split screen
i want to write down the vocabulary on the other apps , but scmp apps does not have split screen function in iPad. Then , I mush pop-up the apps. It is not user friendly
Biased news.
Previously a paid subscriber to SCMP. Recently cancelled the subscription mainly due to all my criticle comments being deleted, how dare we post criticle comments. One of the most untrustworthy news outlets on the market. Another reason was the pop up advertisement when opening the app. I don’t expect to see this when I pay for a service.
Forced update of app in the middle of using the app
The app along with many apps in hk forced you update the app before you can continue using it. Todays experience takes it to another level, one moment I was using the all reading news and shortly after I click on a notification link, I couldn’t continue unless I go to update the app. My SCMP app wasn’t even closed yet , this happens to kmb app, mtr mobile app also.
The forced pop up ads are unacceptable
We are paying a monthly subscription, but still forced to view full-screen ads that have a timer before you can close them. I’ve never seen this on any paid platform before.
News cannot be printed out
Cannot print out the article for reading or studying. Hope SCMP can add a function.
Slow and seems to have a memory leak
The laggiest and slowest news app I’ve encountered and I’ve tried most all around the world. The longer one uses it the slower it becomes, while the phone gets hot. Apart from extreme lag it’s also infuriating while leaving the app for a few seconds and coming back it’ll switch back to the homepage. No way to continue reading the article one has been reading. Amateur work and not worthy a newspaper trying no to play with the big kids.
one million ads inside
