4★Lowering my review. The app works well 75% of the time. Too often, you're reading news, and it goes to a, sort of, dark theme. the background goes black, making it illegible. I close it, open it, and then itngoes back to a white background. Today it has done this three times within 10 minutes. It appears to do this when a photo is opened from an article; when the photo is closed the background turns dark.

1★I don't mind paying for this service. I like the Epoch times alot. I hate downloading a "free" app knowing I will get commercials and advertising and thats fine. But then none of the articles are readable with out a subscription. It feels like a bait and switch. If I can read the articles for free with advertising GREAT! If I need to subscribe! Great its a great value. But don't have me download a "free" app with advertising and get me scrolling through headlines only to find out that I c

2★I'm having a hard time even verifying my email! I was trying to sign up for a subscription but if they can't get this straight, it makes me leary. Also, how come you can't watch this on Apple TV!? Are you stuck in the app? if it's $100 a year, at least let us stream on Apple TV, Roku, etc. Lastly, the app doesn't sync between Android and Apple devices!

2★I really wanted to like this app. But within 5 seconds of opening an article, a pop-up ad covers the article without a way to dismiss it. It demands a subscription, which I will not agree to, until I see how I like the app. I'm sorry, but I got so aggravated, since several articles I read the first three sentences, got into it and BLAM! POPUP! So I uninstalled it.

2★I enjoy reading the articles. I dislike the app. I have paid for a 1 yr digital subscription but the app does not allow me to access all of the articles. It requests that I sign in but reads that my name and pw are not valid. It recognized my name and charged my cc wthout a hitch. I am frustrated!!! Update... Epoch Times responded to my concerns and now I can read all the articles without a problem. Thank you for you prompt intervention
