The Japan Times

Enjoy the perspective

The app does what it needs to do and provides great coverage. The audio posts are fantastic for long reads. Needs a Dark Mode and the latest update added an “Up” arrow when reading an article. Not required and needs to be removed. Wasted space and covers parts of the page. On iOS tapping the top automatically brings you to the top of the page. So it is a waste update.

Don’t download this app because the developer/owner allows third party scammers to harm you. I have been “invited” on many occasions while using this app to take party in online surveys by “google” for rewards such as Samsung tablet or iPhone 12. Think about it, why would Google give away iPhones instead of its own for rewards?! I’ve contacted Google and was told these are scams. I never fell for the tricks but some might feel tempted. Beware!

-Add a feature to change font size -Add a widget -The pop-up video ads are annoying.

記事が分かりやすいし、タイムリーだし、英語と時事の勉強ができて最高です！

英語の勉強のため、新聞・ニュースの英語サイトを探していましたが、テキストだけでなく音声でも聞ける理想のアプリでした。国内外の幅広いニュースを取り上げていて、一つの記事の長さもちょうど良いので、隙間時間に勉強するのにぴったりです。

使われている英語が比較的優しいので英語学習兼情報収集に使えていい

It’s really helpful and trustworthy to improve my English language skills through this app. Everything is absolutely authentic, especially the voices read aloud articles. Really appreciate it!

Recently I started the subscription for Japan Times, but I noticed that this app is not feasible for iPad, so that I request to add iPad version of the app ASAP!
