-- Ksteven, 2015-07-02

### *---- "Almost unusable"
Too annoying to use:
1.  Loads slowly. 
2.  Each time you move, for example to answer a phone call, the app has to reload.  It doesn't remember where you were. 
3.  The opening screen is bright white and orange, needlessly draining the battery. 
4.  The ads actually cover content rather than have their own area of the screen.
5.  The ads change at a rate of faster than 1 per second, making the screen annoying and distracting. 
6.  No graphics. 
Other minor irritants:
- Op Ed pieces are mixed in with news with no way to distinguish. 
- Author not identified on all Op Ed pieces.
Overall terrible.  Better to get local news from RTHK mobile Website.
