User Reviews

Most users praise the app for fast, accurate news and engaging content, with some long-time readers loyal to UDN. However, the app is plagued by major problems: intrusive ads (including auto-playing video/audio and full-screen overlays) that disrupt reading; instability with crashes, freezes, and unexpected logouts; frequent redirects to the website and warnings to switch to the web version; and dark mode/readability issues, with poor contrast or unreadable text on iOS devices.
Pros
  • Fast and accurate news
  • Engaging content that keeps readers coming back
  • Long-time trusted source for Taiwanese news with a loyal user base
Cons
  • Intrusive ads and aggressive ad behavior (video ads, overlays, pop-ups, auto-playing audio)
  • Instability: frequent crashes, freezes, and unexpected logouts/closing of the app
  • Redirects to the website or warnings to switch to the web version
  • Dark mode/readability issues with poor contrast and unreadable text on iOS devices

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

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

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.
