HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (0.5 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.4 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.

Diversifying news

Updated SE Asian business news.

★★★★★Nov 28, 2024
Terrible space management on app

Too many ads on news and the latest version shrinks the pieces further away from the edges of the ipadOS screen. Worst news app on the street!

★★★★★Mar 30, 2021
I device limitation in this day and age!!

I cant believe i am still limited to one login device in this day an age. Most business persons have at least 2 or if not 3 devices. Business Times if could pols look into this and update this

★★★★★Jan 4, 2015
Buggy app...

I don't like the fact that ads are embedded in the news article itself, which limits reading space and proves too much of a distraction. Also, the app experience is very buggy to the point of irritating when it frequently syncs itself automatically or failed to download any content.

★★★★★Nov 11, 2014
Frustrating user experience

The pop up ads are a major source of irritation and frustration; especially for a paid subscription. You don't find the FT or the NYT resorting to that to drive revenue growth. It's self defeating. Everyone else is minimizing clicks and making easier for users to get to the information they want. And perhaps charge for it. The BT is doing the exact opposite. Putting in a roadblock and reminding users what a hassle it is to use the paid app. It's sad because the content can be quite good, at times. The latest update is also "laggy" on the scroll function.

★★★★★Jun 29, 2013
iPhone 5 optimization?

Is there ever going to be an upgrade to accommodate the iPhone 5's larger screen?
