Source labels are our judgment of who owns, funds or runs an outlet, not a rating of any story; mainland outlets work under state censorship. Air quality is the US AQI, not China's own index, and the app sends no official weather or typhoon warnings. Free, one banner ad; a one-time purchase removes it.
