C-SPAN Now for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great App! Very functional and smoothSometimes when networks release apps they are buggy, video streams do not load well or the app crashes. The C-SPAN app is just incredibly functional, smooth and easy to use. I love the live events being right in the home page, so when I want to see a vote in the House, it is right there and plays incredibly well. I like C-SPAN (even though many callers are incredibly misinformed) it provides a great public service to the country and this app helps make that service a lot easier to access..Version: 1.5
✓ An App for All CitizensC-SPAN is a great American institution to keep citizens informed about government and public affairs. This new app means you can be informed wherever you are. Informed citizens are the best safeguard of American Democracy..Version: 1.5
✓ IPad support please!I love C-SPAN, and it would be great to watch it on the iPad I have next to me while working. The iPhone view shrunk onto a horizontal iPad screen leaves much to be desired. Edit - iPad in landscape mode doesn't automatically rotate iPhone apps, but there's two gray buttons on the lower right of the display. One rotates the iPhone app to horizontal, the other zooms in. With both of those I can get full screen video on iPad 😃.Version: 1.7
✓ Almost perfect appPicture in Picture mode is awesome to have finally. Now please make the app fully optimized for the iPad and an Apple TV would be a bonus. Thank You..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Wish it was available for iOS 12My backup device is an old iPhone 6. Perfectly functional but Apple and all the developers are withdrawing support.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Not working on iPod Touch?I love the new app. I have an iPhone 6S Plus. That’s a pretty old device, though it runs the latest version of iOS. The app runs just fine on this device. However, I also have an iPod Touch, 7th gen. This is a much newer device, released in 2019. I’ve had mine since 2020. It also runs the latest version of iOS. Oddly enough, video clips from the “Watch” page don’t play on the iPod Touch. Live stuff will play. But if I tap on a video from “Featured Clips” or “Washington Journal” or “Q&A”, the page loads up, with a blank space where the video player is supposed to be. If I tap on that blank space, I can see the video player, with the start and end time and the play button. I can tap the play button, but the video never starts playing. I hope you can test it on an iPod Touch and figure out the problem. The iPod touch is my goto device for consuming media around the house..Version: 1.5
✓ ImpressiveFor a new app streaming multiple channels, it’s very impressive. Clear and easy to use. (Needs to run audio in the background.) Bravo, very well done..Version: 1.5
✓ EVERY LIVING ROOM IN AMERICA!Please develop and release a TVOS, Roku, and other versions of this app to help expand the access of this platform. The live and raw broadcasts without corporate twists is what Every Living Room in America needs— NOW! Thank you for many years of service!.Version: 1.11.7
✓ Longtime SupporterWhile being a longtime supporter of C-SPAN, I was so excited to find the app. It gives me the experience I expect with on demand access regardless where I’m at during my day. The app is easy to use and understand..Version: 1.5
✓ Great app but missing a few thingsThe app is fantastic for being able to watch so many hearings and other events. What it lacks is a way to save where you are at on a given video. What would also be useful is to have the ability to move ahead or back up a little, say in 15 or 30 second intervals. What might be nice additionally would be to be able to receive notifications to remind you that something you started hasn’t been finished. At present, an awesome and indispensable app..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Intuitive and on the goIntuitive and simple to use. Clean design and most importantly helps keep me informed on the go in C-SPAN’s unique unfiltered way..Version: 1.5
✓ Staying informedLove it, so glad it has finally been offered. Seeing our Government at work 24/7. THANKS!!!.Version: 1.5
✓ This is what I’ve been waiting for!I’ve loved my C-SPAN radio app for years and am glad that we finally have an app with videos of not only the long-form programming C-SPAN is known for, but also the highlights from the week too!.Version: 1.5
✓ Please make an ipad app?I downloaded this app to my ipad to watch the Jan 6 hearings but it for sure is meant for a phone. It would be nice to have a dedicated ipad app that works the same (but in landscape mode) Thanks.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Convenient!A great way to catch up with what’s happening in Congress while on the go.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Hope for AppleTV app soon!So excited that C-SPAN finally has an app to view live government events on my phone and iPad! I’m very much looking forward to the AppleTV version of the app. Is there an expected timeline for it?.Version: 1.5
✓ EssentialAbsolutely essential to view unfiltered footage of official events. The interface is a bit jumbled, but it’s still very much worth it..Version: 1.7.3
✓ CustomisationI’d welcome customisation in settings. Move what I do watch (WJ) to top of display order, featured clips and the rest of the noise to the bottom or off screen all together..Version: 1.11.8
✓ Great app. I needs 21 century featuresSpecifically, it needs to be able to be played in picture in picture mode so one can listen to C-SPAN 1, 2, or 3 when doing other tasks on the iPhone. It’s available in the latest iOS..Version: 1.7
✓ Spanning radio and TVC-Span Radio app allows audio for radio AND television channels. This app doesn’t. Its listen function only allows for C-Span radio, opting for C-Span 1, 2, or 3 requires a service provider. Being in the UK I don’t have one so rely on the radio app. The radio app doesn’t provide a broadcast schedule based on my location unlike this app. I’ll keep both apps until an update makes one of them have all the features of the other..Version: 1.7
✓ FantasticGreat to have both audio and video options for the live channels now.Version: 1.5
✓ Great app!Very user friendly and easy to find current happenings on Capitol Hill. Also like that you can switch between watch and listen easily. Great app!.Version: 1.5
✓ Need a share link buttonIt would be great if while watching a video I could tap a button to share a link to what I’m watching via text or social media..Version: 1.7
✓ Government unfiltered — and unadulteratedThe new C-SPAN app is slick, easy to use and gives me exactly what I crave: Hours and hours and hours of raw footage from government meetings and hearings. I don’t trust ANY media outlet to bring me the truth. The only way for an Okie like me to really know what the government is doing is to tap directly into the D.C. political hive-mind and inform myself. This app does that! Really hope they make a Book TV app!.Version: 1.6
✓ C-SPAN NOW RULESBest app to stay up to date on what’s going on in Washington and around the world. Flawless design and great features. Do your civic duty and make up your own mind with the C-SPAN NOW app!.Version: 1.5
✓ Loses “focus”This appears to be a great app. But I wish the audio would stay on if I switch to something else on my phone (iPhone). The C-SPAN Radio app does this. I was hoping there might be a setting to enable audio to stay on, but I don’t see such as setting..Version: 1.5
✓ Best way to get newsI really love this app. The push notifications are great and it’s very well laid out which is major for me. Big fan!.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Great but please add Chromecast capabilitiesSmooth, modern UI, and fast-loading. Glad I can finally browse without having to log into Safari. But please add Chromecasting so I can watch on TV!.Version: 1.5
✓ The truth about this app.Excellent. Outstanding. Amazing. THE ONLY PEOPLE who should download this app are 1. American patriots, 2. people who care about democracy, 3. people who believe in Freedom, 4. people who are opposed to corruption, and 5. people who care about other people. And 6. anyone else who is planning to vote at some point in the future or who wants to find out what’s going on..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Custom start times for video would be greatAlways reliable video coverage nowhere else has.Version: 1.11.7
✓ Great App! Finally a mobile app!This app is smooth, it’s elegant, it’s well laid out. However, I would love a way to make the video Picture in Picture so I can browse Twitter and other apps while watching C-Span. If you can do this the app would be perfect and I can update my review to 5 stars..Version: 1.5
✓ Unfiltered news in your pocket - C-SPAN NowWay to go, C-SPAN! Finally an app to watch political events without TV talking heads or commercial interruptions. I love how C-SPAN just lets you see the whole thing and this puts it all on my phone to watch. Quick take: it's easy to find live coverage of events, and the Featured Clips are timely and a great way to catch-up on what's newsy each day. Best of all you get free, live access to the big political events. As with other TV nets' apps you have to sign-in to watch the actual 3 C-SPAN TV channels (I guess that's fair because that's how C-SPAN is funded). All in all I'm giving this top rating for its simplicity and for giving me what I most want to watch from C-SPAN..Version: 1.5
