4 ★ Love the app, just got one question. Is it possible to make the language in the app also available in Dutch?
1 ★ What a waste of time. Only snppiets of programs at best. No search of shows. Not even links to complete on YouTube or weibo or whatever. Great if you want only the latest news I suppose live, haven't really looked. Most of the news are simple text articles or snippets again.
2 ★ News stories load very slowly; videos start playing automatically (loudly) which is very annoying when you want to check the news in the evening and end up waking up your housemates. It also asks for access to cache - not even using the correct English to do so.
4 ★ Great covers, however the app auto refreshes while in the middle of reading a story or watching a video. Would be nice if auto refreshing can be turned off. Improving story page loading speed can also be great help with user experience.
2 ★ Excellent coverage of news, but one major drawback is that I have found no way to save the articles via the share option for later reading. All other apps have this feature. Your comments on this would be greatly appreciated.
3 ★ Apps keep closing automatically and reopening as soon as you read the news. It occurred quite frequently. It's really irritating and discouraging for reading. Please, please FIX the BUG - FREQUENT INTERMITTENT AUTO APP CLOSING DOWN. THIS BUG IS VERY INFURIATING AND IRRITATING!!! PLEASE, PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS LONG OUTSTANDING.
1 ★ Look, I know the belt and road program has you guys over there creaming your pants, but 60, yes, SIXTY notifications in a span of 2 hours is just you begging to be cancelled.
5 ★ Great app with so many features more than other news apps.
4 ★ I like CGTN TV for its documentaries episodes they're beautiful and technology is the best
5 ★ only missing dark mode. being able to watch anytime anywhere is great
5 ★ Love to read the articles the way it is written. All these years I've been reading english news articles from western or indian sources but what i liked most is the chinese flavour in the english haha every country has it's own but to me it is new for instance I read about an article about a popular banyan tree n how it is attracting tourist n bringing wealth to the locals. Now in writing a news article other countries usually avoid the "bringing wealth to locals" part but i like the chinese way.And another thing is the way of address a person as "the man/lady surnamed...." this i like too.Hope though this cgtn i will get to know more about the country.
3 ★ This is a text based app which does not contain videos with voice narrations, quite disappointed. I watched CGTN for about 2 months when I was in China and found it impressive, hope this app will be improved soon.
5 ★ In CGTN News, the news is presented precise and so nicely that I have become addicted to reading !!!. I was tired of negative news that spread anxiety more than the news content. But with CGTN, I feel like reading more and more.
1 ★ CCP propaganda. I chose to install this app so I could warn people. Yes, the USA and China are in a cold war, and that this app represents the CCP's attempt to portray its own world view. That's all fine and good provided that this is acknowledged. What I find most troubling is that I found out about it on Windows running a MS store app. The upshot is that the CCP is on a global influence campaign and in bed with the tech companies, while patriots like Alex Jones get their apps removed.
3 ★ Video and written reports seem to be good. However when come to graphic and still photo, which are difficult to read because zoom-in function is not available for adroit phone.
