Needs improvement I hope in the near future we will be able to zoom or increase font size.

No content loads App opens to blank screen with only the header displayed on the latest version of Android.

A good improvement over the previous app. However not able to copy and paste parts of an article on a mobile device to share. Can only share the entire article. An option to increase or decrease the font size would be helpful too. As many readers do travel and read from our devices, this app would be great to have offline reading capability option (eg. whilst in the air) with a pre-loaded cache of all the current day's articles . The Economist app already caches all the current edition without any fuss.

Finally an app worthy of using I lost all faith in SCMP's former app for being far too slow and cumbersome to use, resorting instead to the mobile website to read the news. This refreshed app, however, is a strong step in the right direction. Only complaint is that there are WAY too many "breaking news" alerts. It's like the editors are trying to make a big deal out of small news stories to try and lure you back into the app.

Problem with bug fixes Why so many updates? The latest update dated 19 May 2016, has caused a conflict with "X-plore" file manager culminating in an irritating error which is unable to display the home screen properly and therefore shows HTML script... I have been using this app since 2014 without many issues but this really gets the gold medal for the app with the most dubious update!
Much better than the previous app!! Two things though: Please get rid of the exit confirmation (Leaving so soon etc), it's silly. Secondly please tell your content guys to review what deserves a breaking news notification and what doesn't. A doping lab in Beijing having their license suspended is NOT... (22/04)
