App switch to internet web
I received notice several times asking me to switch to internet website. That’s not right.
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.
置入的廣告讓人很不舒服
已經用了好幾年很不錯 但這幾個月的置入廣告圖都讓人很不舒服 原本想點開新聞看 但匆匆一瞥嚇到就想趕緊關掉
There’s a bug in your app
I think there’s a bug in your app because every time after I read a news, it will log me out of the app. Please check the app, thank you . Sincerely, Cheryl Chen
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。
UDN News
Fast and accurate news
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.
多元觀點，但標題和內文字體比例常不一樣，影響閱讀。

So annoying- too many ads popped up all the times
It’s rally annoying to use this app ads keeps popping up the cover the screen when you launch it and after you click the links to read news every single news would come up at least 2 ads, you can hardly review the news.
畫面不穩
最近兩個月畫面顯示會跳動
Thank you
I have enjoyed reading your articles and comments for many years. Please keep going and glowing.
New design
Why the news redirect to web side? Creating issues!
通知無法進入該新聞
現在看到手機udnnews的通知，都無法進到通知顯示的新聞，超麻煩的，還要找半天。我用iPhone 11
暗黑模式下無法閱讀
iOS13.3 暗黑背景設定下無法閱讀新聞。
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.
This APP is too fat, so it looks slowly on response time
Thanks
廣告的插入方式太惡劣，騷擾正常的新聞閱讀

請新增深色模式
希望可以增加深色模式，白底眼睛看了真的很痛欸。 另外幾年前從下載app時，那時都有很多暖心社會新聞可看，和其他家電子新聞有差別，現在都大同小異了，一直搞紛爭，很可惜。
請把廣告拿掉
請把動畫的不懂為什麼
constantly crushed before ads popped up
plz fix it thx! from long time reader
Great work on news

4.4.0 版更新瘋狂閃退
前兩天更新的版本造成閱讀時不定時閃退，請快修正。
新聞標題打錯了
是川普挑了萬斯，不是拜登
Whoever designed this app are not thoughtful
Who would remember to “swipe TOP to go back to previous page” and “swipe CENTER to switch pages”? We people use SO MANY apps everyday. This app challenges people’s memory. High tech drives people crazy if every app has its own UNIQUE way to use. Complicated high tech had made our life hard enough. Can’t UDN make our life EASIER? Plus, the app crashed no reason the second time I used today. No way to report the crash. And, the app doesn’t refresh itself. I switched to the UDN app that was “already opened yesterday” and stayed the same page today. There is no “refresh” button. I had to literally shut the app and reopen it again to see today’s news. It is so inconvenient.
新版本
新版本的黑底白字導致內容根本無法閱讀，請問更新前，有沒有在手機和平板上評估過？
Can’t Read in iphone Dark mode
Can’t Read in iphone Dark mode. The contrast is too low. Hardly to read anything!!!!!! Hope it could be improved ASAP!!!!
無法好好閱讀
這個問題一直出現很久了⋯⋯幾年前就一直存在 看沒有多久就當掉似乎是沒有真正解決問題
Dark Mode please!
I really love the app and the content, but if you can include the dark mode feature, that will be fantastic!
Going backwards
Slow, crashes from time to time, content would disappear. Getting worse than previous versions.
中国大陆打不开
在中国大陆打不开，只能看到标题，点进去，就是空白
聯合新聞網 讚！
報導中肯。
軟體有問題. 經常新聞看一半，App就跳掉，必須重新打開。一則新聞經常要重新開啓四到五次才能看完。
無法點進App，一直跳出來，必須一直刪除App再重新安裝才可以使用。這個問題已經發生很久了卻不見改善。再不修改，就要永久刪除這個無用的軟體。中國時報和蘋果日報就沒有這個問題。
老款iPhone一直開屏頁無法略過
產品設計太差了，老款iPhone一直開屏頁無法略過。「略過」那個button頂到上邊框了，點擊不識別，然後開屏介面一直卡在哪裡，不會自動進入資訊頁。也真是服了，一家那麼大的媒體居然做出來的app這麼差勁！
Crash too often
Crash or frozen very often during using and have to force to close. Could be loading AD. I am in the US
廣告太多
太多廣告
Sandman88yhghhhff
Too many pop up ad
Too much advertisement
Too much advertisement
App Crashes
UDN app is my go-to Taiwanese news outlet. Unfortunately, the app has been unstable for some time now. Especially it will close itself after viewing several news.

Crash a lot and drain too much battery
Crash when read every couple articles Drain more than 80% power after reading for around 10 minutes Never improved for many updated releases So disappointed about the quality Never understood how a company can make such disaster quality software for so many years

請校對
Ad covers the whole page without an option to close the ad
There is no way to bypass the ad when first open the app! The ad would cover the whole page and unable to close the ad, making it impossible to read or click into any news. Basically a useless app now. 首頁上被大廣告全遮蓋住，無法關閉廣告，無法點入廣告後方的任何新聞。在螢幕上點頻馬上被帶去廣告的連結網頁。這app如今只能點入廣告連結了!了解UDN想用廣告點擊來賺錢，不過被騙了幾次後，讀者一定卸掉這app，騙點閱次數並不是長久之計。
越來越差
會自動當掉跳出 廣告不斷重播 很容易就點到廣告
Not as good as 聯合報plus
The old version, 聯合報plus, is much better than this one. Unfortunately udn decides to replace it with this new app which is not as good. I am somewhat disappointed. Hope udn can still keep the old version. I am an iPad user. The new version can only be read while holding my iPad vertically, and the layout is very boring. The old version can be read either vertically or horizontally, and the layout is much nicer, similar to the layout used in USA Today. This is a bad decision by UDN. Update on 2017-05-13: the old version used to be the best Taiwanese newspaper app. However, they got rid of that version and replaced with this current version, which may be ok for iPhone but very unfriendly to iPad user. It forces u to hold the device vertically. In addition, old news stay for many days. U are forced to read news you had already read before. I don't recommend this version.
留言工能
留言好像不能跟網站連結。
Like it. Keep me informed.
Really love it check in almost everyday.
字是灰色看不到
更新後背景變黑，字是灰色的完全看不清楚
Great news app
Keep me connected with my country, however the updates could be more efficiency.
Crashes every 2 days
Terrible app! Crashes every 2 days.
Good Taiwanese news
I'm really glad to have found this app. If you want to catch some news from Taiwan this app is great. I wish the speed could be improved a bit though.
