Maybe this doesn't matter for many of you who are English based readers. But for those in Malaysia who are the readers of one of Malaysia's best selling newspaper, SinChew Daily, and who own an iPad, this is indeed a great news. Since the last time I reviewed about the Sinchew-i app almost two months ago, many have change about the performance and stability of this local Mandarin News app, and I've keeping a close watch on this app regularly. After all the serious tests and observations I've made on this app, I now earnestly re-recommend (if such word did exist) this app to all my readers. The overall layout of this version doesn't really differ from its predecessor, yet significant changes can be felt once you get your hands on it. There are no sign of lagging detected while swiping through the news articles, and the previous issue of the app abruptly turning off doesn't occur as often in this version. As a matter of fact, I didn't face this problem at all for this whole week. There are also no problem in pictures display and videos playback. The only setback with this app is that every time you switch app when you are in the middle of reading a news article, for instance, you suddenly want to update your facebook status, and when you completed the task and switch back to Sinchew-i, it will lead you to the main page again, forcing you to waste time searching back the article that you were previously reading.
Verdict: Overall, this app has made notable improvement in terms of performance, however, I do hope that the developer can solve the issue mentioned above to make it even better. It's a good idea if the developer can add a bookmarking feature within the article which can ease readers' accesibility.
