Is Sing Tao down right now?
This page tracks the live Sing Tao status for singtao.com and the Headline app. It pulls together Sing Tao down reports from readers facing a stuck feed, a frozen live show or a missing favourites list. Fresh reports bunching together mean the fault sits with the platform.
The app mixes news, live video and member tools, so one part can break while the rest still runs. Match your broken part to the notes below before you reset the app.
Is Sing Tao down for me or everyone?
Test the text feed first, then a live show, then your Personal Center. If only one part fails, the fault is narrow and often tied to your account or connection. If every part fails at once and reports rise here, the platform is down for many readers.
Where Personal Center stores favourites and live reminders
Personal Center holds your saved stories, live broadcast reminders and sharing tools in one account space. Signing in on a new phone pulls the whole set back down.
An empty Personal Center after sign-in usually means the sync stalled, not that your saves were wiped. Pull to refresh the page and give large lists a moment to land. If the website shows your saves while the app does not, the app copy is the stale one.
What PLUS columns and live shows add to the free feed
PLUS gathers named columnists and partner pages in a blog style stream apart from the main news feed. Live shows cover news, finance, property and lifestyle topics on a set schedule inside the app.
How live shows and replays run inside the app
Live shows stream inside the app player, and finished shows stay up as replays. During a Sing Tao outage the live player can spin forever while text stories and replays keep working. Test a replay to split a live fault from a wider video fault.
Why Headline Daily stories sit inside a Sing Tao app
The Headline app grew into the Sing Tao Headline app, so Headline Daily stories now run inside the Sing Tao brand. Readers kept their habits, since the free daily mix of local news, offers and lifestyle pieces stayed.
Common Sing Tao Problems and Fixes
Live streams, reminders and Personal Center sync cause most Sing Tao faults. Work through the fix that fits your screen, then test the same feature again.
Live show spins without ever starting
Close the player fully and reopen the show from the live list. Swap to mobile data if Wi-Fi stalls the stream at the same point. If replays also refuse to start, the video service is down rather than one show.
Reminder set but no alert before the show
Check the app holds notification permission in phone settings. Open Personal Center and confirm the reminder still sits on the show. Reminders set while signed out save to the phone only and can vanish after an update.
Favourites list empty after signing in
Stay signed in and pull the list down to force a sync. Check the website with the same account to see if the saves exist there. A list that is empty on both points to an account fault worth reporting.
PLUS column page loads as a blank screen
Open a standard news channel to test whether the fault is PLUS only. Clear the app cache, since PLUS pages hold heavy local data.
Rewards page spins and never shows offers
Sign in first, since the rewards page needs a member account to build its list. Turn off any content blocker for the app session. If the page fails for all members at once, the rewards service is at fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if a live fault is mine alone?
Play a finished replay from the same channel. Replays use stored files, so a replay that runs while live spins points at the live feed.
Why did my Headline app change its name and icon?
The old Headline Daily app was upgraded into the Sing Tao Headline app. Your account, favourites and reminders carried across with the change. Sign in with the same details you used before to pull your settings back.
Can I read Sing Tao stories without the app?
Yes, singtao.com carries the same channels in a browser, including finance, property and entertainment. The website lacks live reminders and some member tools.
What is the PLUS area inside the app?
PLUS is a stream of columnist pages and partner channels written in a blog style. It sits apart from the breaking news feed. A blank PLUS page is a fault in that stream, not in your account.
Does the app charge for any news content?
The Headline app feed is free to read, with member tools that need a free account. Offers and rewards sit inside the member area.
Where do Greater Bay Area stories live in the app?
Open the channel list and pick the Greater Bay Area section for policy, business and lifestyle coverage. You can pin it near the top of your channel order. If that channel alone stalls, its feed is at fault.
