CNA (Channel NewsAsia) for Android

The tablet version of this app, if you can even call it that, is basically a giant iPod touch version. It’s stuck in profile mode and even “wide” screen video is presented in profile mode. So if you enjoy really large and black cinematic bars on the top and bottom of your videos, this app is for you. I guess what they say is true: once you go black, you can’t go back. In this app’s case, it’s for real.

You can’t listen to Spotify and read the news at the same time.

Where is the landscape mode? More users will flock to this app if it is more usable since the content is already fantastic.

Welcome back to 5 years ago in terms of ease of use: Ads will disrupt the flow of reading an article by randomly resetting to the top of the article or scrolling you up or down by a few screen pages. on a tablet it will never display in landscape mode. CNA has managed to create its latest app as a “dinosaur” version which I hope will become extinct very soon for mankind’s benefit and well-being. It is sad to see such a failed upgrade in this day and age. Surely beta testing should have avoided this. Someone in their IT/digital department should be called to account over this. Disappointed as CNA content is one that I enjoy but find myself reading less and less as it is too painful a digital experience on both Mobile and Android.

Wont load in landscape. Mobile Pro on pro keyboard is no fun to navigate sideways. I just read short notifications and ignore. The app.
