C-SPAN Now for Negative User Reviews
✓ ArchivesI wish it were possible to access older recordings of congressional hearings and the like. Otherwise I really appreciate being able “to hear it from the horses mouth”..Version: 1.11.6
✓ GlitchingThe app itself used to work great but I don’t know what happened. After about 1/2 - 1 hour into Wash Journal, the screen goes black and stops working altogether. Deleted the app and re-downloaded, did the same thing. Please fix this. With regard to the content, CSpan Washington Journal has turned into a right-wing mouthpiece for the ruling class who want to turn us away from Democracy and toward Authoritarianism. No longer fair and balanced..Version: 1.11.7
✓ Love CSPAN, but horrible app!!Wow. That's all I can say. There are so many glitches but worst of all is you do screen mirroring and instead it switches to picture - in - picture on your phone. This means on a frantic work morning at 6 am all I want to do is watch a few minutes of C-SPAN and instead I get a frozen screen, can close the app because the little Picture in Picture is bouncing around and it won't allow me to shut off my alarm, check other apps or even check the time. This app is horrible..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Lee commentsThe on-demand feature seems to have disappeared from a few weeks ago. And no search function for what is available. very limited offerings. Two of the most important debates in the nation tonight and neither available live or later. New York or Pennsylvania. and very difficult to post comments. Every single nickname I tried was “taken“.Version: 1.11.0
✓ No Apple TV appThis app is great when you are on the go but needs ported to the Apple TV OS. I used to love watching C-SPAN in the 2000s when people paid for cable tv. But, cable and satellite are dinosaurs, find a new funding method and modernize your viewership. *Updated to 2 stars for canned response of no value..Version: 1.11.6
✓ Quite the improvement!It’s shocking how much of an improvement this app is! No cable just Sling tv, but I can still at least view Washington Journal live in the app or just listen to audio. The portrait to landscape transition is awkward, compared to other apps, but it does work on iPad. It still has room to get better and be more intuitive, but I’m looking forward to more improvements..Version: 1.5
✓ No more BookTV weekends - it’s all US History now on ch2&3!I used the old app for book tv on CSPAN2 weekends, but they stopped it now with this new one except Sunday and even that is just the same as the CSPAN3 American History..Version: 1.5
✓ Data Hungry AppThis app uses a lot of cellular data when not connected to Wi-Fi. I had hoped it would offer the ability to download recorded programs for offline viewing or listening, but it does not. Furthermore, playback just stops when you sleep the screen. It should keep playing so you can listen to the audio, say, when walking or driving. Disappointing app. Removing it from my phone..Version: 1.7
✓ Saving your placeAs far as I can tell, there’s no button to save your place in the middle of a video and have the video appear in a folder of bookmarked videos. This would be helpful..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Great app, with a significant bug or flawLove the app, but one issue I have is that it doesn’t use the media controls that integrate apps like this into the rest of the iPhone, making it a little awkward to use. It doesn’t appear in Now Playing in Control Center, the notification screen, or on the Lock Screen. I thought it was just a problem with my iPhone, till I installed the app on my iPad, and have the same issue there. Would live to see this fixed..Version: 1.6
✓ Search feature?CSpan has history programs but there’s no way to find or search for them. There is NO search feature at all. Search feature which allows one to search across ALL of the various channels for any given program. Please work on that..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Couldn’t search or connect my tv providerI know it’s a free app but… in my iPhones tv settings it says the app already has access but the app keeps asking me to sign in again. After 5 days of deleting and reinstalling the app, allowing the app to use my provider I’ve given up..Version: 1.5
✓ This app version less features.The most recent app version is less flexible. I cannot watch easily on iPhone. The image won't rotate 90 degrees for a better view?.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Not listeningTo developer who responded to my original review below… Please reread it. What I’m saying is that you’re asking ppl to sign in to a cable provider in the LISTEN section of the app. Why would you have to sign in to LISTEN? I understand the watch part. I won’t bother with commentary on how C-SPAN should be provided to EVERYONE with no boundaries. That’s not the point. I’m saying your UX is wrong. Listening should have nothing to do with cable providers. Watching, maybe, but not listening. When I go to the Listen section and select a stream, it asks me to select a TV network provider to watch live. This is under the LISTEN section. What’s that about?.Version: 1.7.3
✓ Cable provider not listedCannot watch since my cable provider is not listed. App does not show complete list so I cannot watch Washington Journal live. Also support link is not functional. Deleting this app since it does not work. Could not locate More page or Technical support to report problem..Version: 1.5
✓ IPad only version please!I second Steve Jones March 16 assessment as to overall iPad functionality. The iPad is not an iPhone. Current complaint: Cannot return to main page after viewing video. Click video to view and the app remains stuck (no Back buttons, etc) on this page. Close/reopen the app several times without refresh success. I have to completely shutdown and restart the iPad. Device: iPad Air, 3rd Gen.Version: 1.7
✓ DisappointingIt would be nice to actually watch C-SPAN via this app. Unfortunately, that is not what this app does. I wanted to watch a segment on C-SPAN 3, but couldn’t get it to open. I also wanted to see what was going on on C-SPAN 2. Again, couldn’t open it. It seems that if you want to view or listen to anything other than what is featured, you’re out of luck. And that is very disappointing..Version: 1.7.3
✓ So much potential …As one of the first to download this app, I was enthusiastic about its potential, but it seems like they launched it and then largely ignored it. There are months-old clips in the limited menu while the actual channels continue to feature a lot of great content. The app needs to drastically expand its menus to include many more of the author interviews, history lectures, and discussions found on the cable channels..Version: 1.6
✓ I-pad support wantedIt would be nice if I could watch this full screen on my I-pad. It is the size of a phone screen as is. When I switch to horizontal view it gets even smaller. Time for you to catch up with tech although it is nice you have gotten somewhere you have a ways to go….Version: 1.11.8
