Comments on Sixth Tone for Android

★★★★★ Joe Bellani · Mar 16, 2025
So much in love with this app. What it gives is a positive and mesmerizing view to China and to the parts of world that always been looked at with prejudice and in a biased manner. The quality Sixth Tone provides, both in its content, and it's presentation, is outstanding
★★★★★ Alan Lam · Nov 14, 2021
Big fan. High quality press. Just good humble opinion pieces that I find highly relatable as an expat in Shanghai that gives me an insight to modern life in China.
★★★★★ Bailey Yordnoff · Aug 1, 2019
Good to see news about China that isn't Red Scare, Yellow Peril propaganda (looking at you, NYT).
★☆☆☆☆ Eanisha Fields · May 1, 2023
Not sure want to download free ringtones
★☆☆☆☆ Ben Norman · Dec 23, 2023
Used to be great, but recent BJ crackdowns have utterly neutered Sixth Tone. I'm in morning for what used to be excellent and interesting journalism from them.
