I love this app. My only gripes are that it doesn’t allow you to use the portrait (vertical) mode on the iPad, and you can’t use the look up word feature within the app. Typically you can highlight a word and select the “look up” button. This would be a massive time saver when looking up an unfamiliar word. Otherwise, I have zero complaints. Would love to see those two issues resolved.

A thumb up for NYT to bring the professional journalism to Chinese community. Many of its members are subjected to media distortion and disinformation campaign on social media such as WeChat. Time for people to read something real and know the difference between high-standard journalism versus self-made “news” that creates rumors and confusions. Need more efforts like NYT outreach to ethnic media, as it is dying without enough support.

New York Times has always been one step ahead of other newspapers. Making this Chinese version app is one example. I love this app and its China tailored reporting. My petty grievance is the landscape-only mode in the iPad version. It would be nice to support the portrait mode as well. Keep up the good works!

My dad loves this app and the news reporting from New York Times. He especially enjoys the dual language feature of English and Chinese, as he is learning English while also keeping up with the current event from US and the world. Highly recommended.
