HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (15 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

可以更好

廣告算少的，但是留言功能難用，也很不明顯，無法激起讀者互動。

★★★★★Feb 8, 2026
Disappointed app. Countless Ads shows up every news

This news paper app is sick and going crazy. Several Advertisements are showing up on every news. Avoid using it.

★★★★★Jan 17, 2026
App switch to internet web

I received notice several times asking me to switch to internet website. That’s not right.

★★★★★Nov 17, 2025
Poor audio management and lots ads

Video Ads pop up automatically without click. Very annoying. When open the app, it starts to use audio, so you can listen to music and read news at the same time. Those ads audio would play automatically. Very bad experience.

★★★★★Jul 15, 2024
新聞標題打錯了

是川普挑了萬斯，不是拜登

★★★★★Dec 3, 2023
Need to keep up with the new IOS

Hope someone is monitoring the reviews. In the last 2 months, more and more articles display a warning message instead that instruct viewers go to the UDN website. This only happened on my iPad.
