CNN: Breaking US & World News for Negative User Reviews
✓ Too many commercialsThe stories are good , the content in general is reliable. The biggest gripe is the amount if commercials. You will literally spend 40% of your time watching the same 6 commercials if you want to browse the videos. The worst part is the click bait that “the most trusted news source” uses, they give you an X to close commercials but it’s impossible to click the actual exit portion of it, instead every attempt redirects you to some terrible product page. I hope the sponsors wake up and see that likely 98% of the traffic they get from CNN is people just trying to close the commercial by clicking the X and are duped into a redirect because it’s actually a nano sized exit spot and don’t actually care about the product and leave their site immediately. Really a totally scammy thing to do CNN. At this point I just avoid the videos and get what I need from the text stories. If I'm forced into a video for lack of a written version, I just turn the volume down during the commercial and ignore the content (focus on the timer at the bottom). It's only natural to want to avoid watching the same commercial for the 50th time ....Version: 6.17.1
✓ ClunkyNot judging the contents of CNN (which is great!), the app is pretty terrible. Enabling PIP Video should be a standard these days (it doesn’t work, at least on iPhone, so the app always has to be open to listen/watch, you can’t respond to a message or email while listening). Also, just scrolling through the headlines makes any audio output on your iPhone (eg if you play music) pause even if you don’t click on any video. This is bad software design. Many apps behaved like this years ago, CNN’s app should really be updated..Version: 6.14
✓ Stories should deleteI like CNN, however your weekend reporting is really an artifice. Every seems to leave at 4 pm Friday and forget any real refresh. You leave up stories I am not interested for months. Just wasting space and makes you look Lazy. Ads popping up in my read are so annoying I may go back to a newspaper..Version: 7.20
✓ Biden’s low ratingYou really do not want to discuss that the low ratings that began this summer were tied to the economy (?) and Covid-19. Forgot all about Afghanistan, did you? You wonder why your network has very few fans anymore. You’ve gone to the Dark Side. You have no journalistic integrity left. You’ve helped to turn Americans against each other. Now, you’re reporting on an administration that suddenly thinks, as they avoided with intent all along, that maybe it’s the hospitalizations that are important, not the number of cases. Anyone with a few brain cells and even a little sense of what’s best for the Country, knows that this entire pandemic was utilized by Left Democrats to remove a sitting President. It was worth it to them, and, I guess, to you and the rest of Main Stream Media to install a vacuous old man in the throes of Dementia into the Office. You are participating gleefully in the demise of a great Nation. Congratulations! By the way, I used to be an ardent fan: that ended a couple of years ago when your biases started to show. I shall, now, uninstall your Contaminated App: I want nothing to do with traitors..Version: 6.18.2
✓ App is brokenDownloaded it to my Apple TV and iPhone, tried to watch the live streams (there are three channels to choose from) all of them said they’re unable to play. I’m located in New Zealand if that makes a difference. If it only works in the United States then should say so in the description rather than me, as the user, only find out after wasting time downloading it..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Poor newsNot accurate fox has the news before.Version: 6.16.4
✓ Can’t use at all......app is not optimised for people who have on their phone set font larger than standard. The initial screen that lets you choose notifications has the buttons that should close it off screen..Version: 5.21
✓ Horrible... Sick of the biased newsI'm sick of the biased news like we need more fuel to the covid 19 crisis, or the elections, or the riots?? So a new article says Trump "knew that covid 19 was 'deadly' in February and kept that information from Americans"... First, I'm pretty sure nobody knew the virus would come to America, as far as anyone is concerned NOBODY CARED, nor nobody took the proper precautions to keep it from spreading, they never thought it would come here, they NEVER thought we couldn't handle it. Heck they weren't gods! It's like someone who blames (put-your-favorite-mighty-entity-name-here) is to blame for all their misery. No Republicans don't have all the answers, but if they don't, I'm sure as heck that Democrats don't have them either. Democrats used an injured ARMY veteran to throw dirt on Trump saying he didn't care about them... Until the ARMY veteran stood up to say "that's not what Trump said and stop throwing dirt on Trump using my image and my name!" Those are facts, not opinions. Sadly, CNN is looking everyday more and more based on opinions than facts. Sick of this. Time to check out Epoch times or fox rather..Version: 6.12
✓ Love CNN hate the AppI love cnn and it’s content. The app always freezes, crashes, has a hard time loading, will drop signal and send you to commercials in the middle of a program. Makes you watch adds over and over when trying to regain access to live streams even when it’s the app that is failing. Audio cuts out unexpectedly and randomly. They use to update Inside Politics or State of the Union over the weekend but for a few months now you can no longer access that content except when using an actual television set so the mobile app is limited by comparison. I’ve used this app for years and very often but it’s always been on the struggle bus regardless of “bug fixes” or updates, the core of whatever is wrong continually gets worst. Disappointed by the decline to say the least. I know I can’t be the only one dealing with these issues regularly. *And full transparency I am writing this after over 10 failed attempts and over 20 minutes of waisted time just trying to get the live stream to load.*.Version: 6.5
✓ WAS catastrophicThis app has gone from being my go-to app for world news, to the app now bottom-most of the pile. Recent updates mean the slightest touch to the screen now sends the app skittering from one news item to another. It’s currently a waste of space on the iPhone - and for the user, a waste of time. UPDATE: Come home - all is forgiven. The latest iOS 13.2 update seems to have solved the problem and returned the app to full functionality. But the question remains - how did the CNN app developers not spot the original problem? Were they not engaged with the 13.1 beta? And if not, why not?.Version: 6.4
✓ Too crashy and too many adsFor a news org as large and well respected as CNN this is one crashy freaking app. I regularly have to close the app because it freezes and does nothing. Perhaps it’s not tablet compatible? And the content on the Politics tab is far too much, it goes on forever and I do believe is the reason for the app’s constant crashes. And the ads, yikes. I just tried to watch the Don’t Miss Videos section and every darn video had an ad, even though some of the videos were less than a minute long. Please improve this app!.Version: 5.10
✓ TerribleWorst news ever, switched to Fox News..Version: 6.11.1
✓ Background audio kills batteryAfter checking the Battery section of the phone’s settings I noticed that CNN had 1 minute of on screen usage and over 23 hours of background audio usage!! That is unacceptable. Beware of this app if you notice your phone battery draining faster than normal!.Version: 6.0
✓ Too many videosToo many video news . Doesn’t anyone read anymore ? I get a lot more information from reading a story than listening to a 2 minute video ..Version: 7.5.1
✓ What happened to live TV access in the App!?Can’t access it anymore on the App through my TV provider after uninstall/reinstall, phone reset….live TV has been wonky for over a week then it completely stopped working..Version: 7.4
✓ Fine, But Abuses Push NotificationsI downloaded CNN last year to get the US view of the 2016 election (I'm a US expat). Since then, I have been frustrated at the alerts CNN push through to my phone. The most egregious thing is the loose definition of 'Breaking News'. Today, to pick one example among many, I checked my phone to read 'President Trump focused on tax reform at a lunch with GOP senators and didn't talk about his bitter feud with sen. Bob Corker'. How on earth is 'man doesn't talk about something' Breaking News!? This is a consistent themes of CNN push alerts, using a breaking news headline for analysis and the absence of events..Version: 5.7
✓ Contents are not loadingDownloaded 6.11 version about 5 times in last few days. Issue is all articles or contents in a page are not loading up on my iPhone. Under each news category first couple of articles will be displayed but scroll down and then cannot see news articles just get blank screen..Version: 6.11
✓ Please Lose the LinksI switched to CNN News from other news apps for two reasons; 1) The commercials are only 15 seconds prior to a video as compared to 30 seconds for others, and 2) the other apps had these annoying underlined links to related stories or media that always got in they way of scrolling through a news article. Now it seems that CNN has adopted these annoying and inconvenient “links”. There is no way for me to scroll through a news story without unintentionally activating one of these links. I have tried scrolling along the side with varying degrees of pressure to no avail. I have tried to avoid the links by scrolling several lines of text above or below the link, but it still invariably activates the link. It has gotten so frustrating, that I am now relegated to watching the videos while I search for a new news app. CNN, please lose the links or stand the chance of losing more frustrated users like myself..Version: 5.21
✓ Battery drainYear after year, update after update the CNN app remains the biggest battery drain after games. It’s hard to explain an app that just shows a few images and some text that drains the battery so much with just an incompetent dev team; one cannot help but think about something more sinister..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Fake newsFake news.Version: 6.13.1
✓ Useless for multitaskersReasonable app, good content. But hopeless if you’re someone balancing feeds and streams for all round coverage. As soon as you scroll down on videos you haven’t even loaded, it kills your audio from any other feed. Annoying and frustrating..Version: 7.15
✓ What's happening?About two weeks ago I started to find that my ipad had lost about 80% of its battery power overnight. Thankfully the ipad has a facility to see what's using that power. Turns out that CNN app is using over 70% of my battery on background refresh, even though background refresh is turned off. No other app does anything like this, and CNN app didn't use to do this. Yes, I can turn my ipad off overnight, but I've not had to do this in the past, so what's gone wrong now?.Version: 6.17.1
✓ Good app but...Whenever I scroll through an article on my phone & my finger brushes past an embedded link it takes me out of the app to a different article. I swear this happens 4 or 5 times while Im trying to read, & its frustrating. Disruptive, and not in a good way. Not sure what you’ve changed in the last few months but it never used to do this (its not me, my finger, or the way I scroll by the way). No other app/news site does this either. Please fix!.Version: 6.3.1
✓ Pure Mind Manipulating PropagandaI used to love the CNN news and trusted them. Everything changed when Trump was elected and than COVID feardemic embraced by the news. Despite not being a fan of Trump’s it became obvious that the news was not about the news anymore. Its only purpose has been to force a very negative approach to everything that was not a part of the network’s agenda. This is mostly related to who benefits financially from the propagated manipulated information. Nowadays the CNN news is like Hitler’s propaganda viciously attacking anyone who has different opinions. Science is being used selectively and medical journals research completely ignored so the population beliefs that the News is science backed but it is nothing more than a commercial propaganda to sell more vaccines. So, many people has fallen for this narrative of fascism imposing on others who have different preferences. Now fascism embraced by the president is the new world order. However, as one knows well from history, people would always ultimately choose freedom. A society with a fascist propaganda cannot last. Freedom will be restored..Version: 6.17.1
✓ Freezes after a few secondsUsed to be great, but for last week has become unusable. Freezes up and have to close and restart. I reinstalled the app without success. I have latest IOS on fairly new IPad.Version: 7.33
✓ Login Problems and Article Selection Still a ProblemThe CNN app provides written news articles, short videos and live TV. It does this well but with two app-killing problems: (1) in order to watch live streams of CNN, one must login to a cable network over and over and over again. This increases the time it takes to get started and makes me use the app less. Complaints have gone unheeded with each update. (2) low-brow journalism heavily populated the articles and videos with such items as “Mother stays up all night after finding this in baby’s crib.” Its like the editors of buzzfeed and national enquirer choose every other article. This degrades the CNN brand and makes them less credible when their hosts decry the entertainment journalism of a certain other news network. All in all, I love being being able to watch CNN on my phone but these two problems greatly reduce my use and have led me to find other news apps..Version: 6.3.1
✓ The app keeps crashingWhat’s going on why can’t we use the app it keeps crashing I tried everything.Version: 7.24
✓ App version is terribleThis version of the app is awful. The app doesn’t hold your place in the feed when you click into an article and then go back to the feed. It also doesn’t hold your place when you are in an article and leave the app and quickly return. It starts you back at the beginning of the article even if you were out of CNN for less than 30 seconds, that is if it will even load. When it doesn’t start over the article for you, it puts you back at the top of the main news feed. This app is becoming unusable. Lastly what happened to the scroll bar in the articles? I like to know how long an article is going to be and how close to the end of it I am. I am frequently reading articles while in between things and not knowing how long/how much longer an article is and not having the app save my place has made this app unusable. I work in tech and am incredibly curious as to how this version got released and how there still hasn’t been an update to fix basic usability after weeks..Version: 7.37
✓ Research: Operation MockingbirdCNN is deliberately distorting and twisting facts! Watch the investigative reports by #Projectveratas! CNN clearly admits that they are not for political truth!!! Edit: how do you have nearly 5 stars with so many negative reviews? Apple how stupid do you think we are ?.Version: 5.6.1
✓ CNN live is crap10 minutes free and at least 6 minutes of commercials! App is slow and closes at any time. Not impressed.Version: 6.6
✓ Privacy - NOT!Just deleted this app because CNN insists on using all your data for their benefit.Be be sure to read the full Ts and Cs of their privacy document. If you don’t agree to the terms they don’t allow you to use the app.Version: 6.16.3
✓ CNN App for Apple TV Box (128Gb, 4K)Does NOT work (will not even open), in UK for MY Apple TV box (updated to TV OS 16.3.3), so it is not about TV OS version being out of date, so perhaps CNN app has not 'caught up with' Apple! I have no idea, nor do I care much whether it works (or not) on iPhone or iPad or Apple Watch, except that if it says it works then it SHOULD darn well work! Obviously any Apple customer with any of those 4 devices (or 'other brand' smart device device user), with an interest in 'unbiased, good news reporting', WILL possibly want to use the CNN App, won't they? But THAT will possible depend on the circumstances of 'their belief system', which MAY lead them to think that they prefer 'other news outlets', who according to THAT different opinion, may think 'their choice of news outlet' is the one NOT being biased, with 'the other' being the biased one. So ANY app in the Apple App store that does not even open should not be there right? Did this one slip through some invisible crack then?.Version: 7.22.1
✓ Good work CNN - keep it upEven in NZ, you provide a source of fact based news. Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon are great communicators and backed up by a classy group of professionals in Alisyn Camorata, John Berman, Rosemary Church and Dana Bash. And the Facts First segments are just so sharp and clever. Your reporting is an essential staple of my daily life. As long as your work goes on, the dream will never die. Bravo Richard Wood (69) Lawyer Auckland NEW ZEALAND.Version: 6.11.1
✓ Why Crash?I use to love reading CNN daily. But since an update ago the app just crashes or freezes when scrolling. I’m sick and tired of this app behaving this way. Why is a simple scroll so hard to fix? I’ve deleted the app, reinstalled the app and time and time again the same issues keep happening. Why CNN? The amount of resources you have at your disposal is immense! I’m moving on to another news app. Tired of this and nothing being done to resolve it..Version: 5.18.1
✓ Poor App - slow and Ad focusedThis is one of the worst apps on my phone. If it wasn’t for the desire to read news that provides some balance to the likes of Fox I’d delete it. The opening screen containing the ‘front page’ articles can take a minute or more to become usable. In the meantime the ads have already been served, suggesting the problem is with CNNs back end infrastructure. In inadvertent touch leads to an ad providers page all too easily. CNN need to scrap this app and re-design it. Very poor..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Why my ratingOver the years, CNN has moved from being my primary source of news to a lot less. There’s less news and more opinion. I find most stories to be leading rather than factual. There are 2 basic problems for CNN. First, there is simply not enough news to fill the daily news cycle. Recently, the network reported that the election results would take 4 or 5 days to tabulate, but CNN promised 24/7 coverage. Secondly, credibility is diminished because the network relies on advertising. The ratings battle for all news programming has risen to such a level that the structure of reporting has moved beyond informing its viewers to leading them. Journalistic integrity of the day is sacrificed for keeping the interest of the viewers so they stay tuned. It is much easier to maintain good journalism when a network has an entertainment component for revenue to offset the costs of providing information. Without this, news networks must find a way to lure viewers in order to maintain ratings..Version: 7.14
✓ Five stars for content but one star for broken linksApp UI is broken - a brief touch on a link (even while just attempting to scroll) takes user off the story. This makes it very frustrating to use the app - the user has to carefully check where placing finger to scroll..Version: 6.3.1
✓ New app version is a messThis CNN app was much better prior to it’s major makeover that occurred a few months ago, which has too many disjunct sections mixed with unrelated sections of articles & underscored ads. -It’s hard to know which articles are news and which are ads disguised to be news. Also, lots of articles aren’t being removed daily, making it feel like we’re reading days old topics. Please switch back to the way CNN’s app used to be where readers could scroll down and know distinctly each section had related topics and were current. It was closer to scrolling down on Facebook with being able to see today’s headline stories. This new version is a mess. It’s confusing, frustrating and wants readers to weed through the massive amount of junk on the “Top News” page because it’s wants everything to be newsworthy. It’s makes the reader have to work to filter through garbage just to get one or two real current headline stories. Remove the advertisement stories posed as newsworthy headlines. Stop with postings of any and everything on that page in particular as it takes away from what’s really news and what’s just advertisements which has created a lack of credibility of what you’re feeding your audience. Please go back to the old app’s version where top news page was primarily today’s headline stories and the ads were more distinct so readers could clearly avoid clicking on them..Version: 7.30
✓ Keeps freezing!My CNN on my phone has stopped scrolling. It’s never been smooth before but now once I open it up and try and scroll through the headlines it doesn’t move! Just stays frozen! Even if I’m able to open up a story, once I try and scroll up to keep reading it doesn’t move! Just stays there hanging! I thought this new update would solve the issue but it hasn’t! Still the same thing! Is it just me or a general problem🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😡.Version: 7.11
✓ Incorrect categoryThis isn’t “news”, this is propaganda. It’s fake news from the liberal clown comedy network. This app should be under comedy, games for kids or alternatively the best option should be to remove it due to inappropriate racism and divisive content..Version: 6.12
✓ Removed CNN app after 15 YearsIve been using CNN as my primary news source on all my phones the last 15 years. Ive always found their approach to news, fair, unbiased, and informative. Your election coverage has been excellent. But the past 2 years the quality of the news has radically declined. Many of the new people they hired carry distrust, even hatred, of certain demographics of people, express ageism, bigotry, and a bias that distorts the news. Every story now tries to dig up racial distrust and inflame division between Americans intentionally. This is borderline delusional and why many people have turned away from the tv version. The quality of the writing has radically declined and is often uninformed or illiterate. There is confusion in the messaging or meaning. And the silly pop culture news events that fill up the app are frankly meaningless. We have wars and earthquakes going on and you guys are writing about grammy dances and arguing on camera about if black police are too white. I hope the new owners figure out what is not working because frankly insulting your audience then asking us to watch is a good starting point..Version: 7.19
✓ Unusable in IOS 13When scrolling through a news item, the slightest touch on a linked story, even if still scrolling and not releasing your finger, results in the app flicking to that story. It is completely unusable in IOS 13..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Great content, terrible appThe content is great but the app is unusable because you can’t read a story without it leaping to another one part way through. Used it for 2 years but a recent update introduced this problem. No option left but to ditch the app..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Please change the hyperlinks to other CNN articlesI have used this app for years and love the content from CNN. However, very recently multiple hyperlinks have been added on news articles which take you to other related articles. The problem is you can no longer just read & scroll through an article without being taken to a different article entirely making the use of app frustrating to the point of almost being unusable. I have submitted a request with CNN but still the problems continue. This is so disappointing for an app that I love and have used every day.Version: 6.4
✓ Not worth the frustrationI have been a frequent user of this app for many years, but its most recent update have made it unbearable / impossible to use. I am not complaining about the advertisements nor the 15-second video commercials; I can persevere through those. The problem I have is with the behaviour of embedded links in news articles. These links are a nightmare because it is damn near impossible not to inadvertently trigger the links while reading/scrolling through an article. The links would make the app jump to another article or worse jump out of the CNN app and into the Safari browser. So I find myself constantly fighting with the app — either to get back to article I was in originally or trying to tap on areas without links in order to scroll through it. Congratulations to the CNN app designers of this new behavior. You win. I give up. I have now deleted the CNN app..Version: 6.3.1
✓ FAKE NEWSFake news Russia conspiracy.Version: 6.17.1
✓ The app is great, but the news...App is great but CNN is ridiculously biased so I must delete it....Version: 6.11.1
✓ Supression of the truthCNN supresses voices critical of Isreal. They have one sided interviews with Isreali propagandists but noone on the other side to refute them. They also ask the people they interview "gotca" questions as a deliberate tactic to smear them and discredit them. This is news on behalf of large corporate interests..Version: 6.16.1
✓ CnnThis is one of the most one sided news apps that I’ve had. Had to delete because of all the false news..Version: 6.16
✓ Too many adsYou FORCED to see COMPLETE video ad’s before watching news videos ... I understand if it’s one add or two ad for the whole browsing session but not to repeat same full add on every video click ... unpleasant experience ....Version: 5.20
✓ Fake News & PropagandaTheir own upper tier staff admitting their propaganda, fake news and manipulative. Disregard. 0/10.Version: 6.16
✓ Have had enough - Used to be smoothUpdate: Now Opera automatically opens this app after having looked at a CNN article in the browser, I have removed this app as navigation on the iPad Pro is incredibly frustrating. Don’t know what you did to “improve” the app, but it is now terribly jerky navigation-wise. The iPad Pro should be able to handle anything you throw at it - and it has no problems with any of the other apps on it - but YOUR app is failing badly....Version: 7.13
✓ CNN reviewHi, You guys can make the app more easy to navigate. It seems like more content is tried to be accommodated on the screen. And all the videos (related or unrelated advertisements) makes it even more complex. Colour combination is good, font is good. Need to work on presentation and navigation of the content. Regards.Version: 6.18.3
✓ Ads Make This App UnbearableI’ve had this app for years and used it at least a couple times per week, but yesterday I immediately uninstalled it with no regrets. After the latest update, they’ve now imbedded video ads with sound into the article, which start playing with sound even if the phone is switched to silent, and just when one single line of pixels of the ad is scrolled to. Absolutely unbearable and intolerable. Will never consider installing this app again since this shows the foolishness of those managing it..Version: 5.13
✓ Where’s my sound gone?Content aside, the only annoying thing about this app is its tendency to hijack the audio on my phone when I use it. It’s not related to watching video content in the app, that would be obvious. But if I have music playing on the phone music app and I open the CNN app - whether viewing a text-based story or just scrolling through the headlines - the music stops playing. I’ve had other apps do this and this is usually fixed in a new release, but the CNN app has been doing this for years. I’m really not sure why they can’t fix this..Version: 7.13
✓ DeletedI won’t keep you - there are many reasons to avoid this app, they lost me permanently when they included advertisements that can’t be hidden or reported..Version: 6.10.2
✓ AU inserts an ad in between every short videoTerrible watching experience on what would otherwise be a daily go-to app. I guess CNN staff are not trying to watch the app themselves, or this would be quickly fixed. It might be a problem limited to Australia, who not only insert 1 ad per short video, they repeat the ads, just to make sure you really hate it..Version: 5.15
✓ UK subscription optionNeed to add CNN live option when you pay for it as a subscription in the UK on iPhone and Apple TV otherwise what’s the point of subscribing.Version: 6.18.2
✓ Stand up for Democracy, CNN!Don’t give up on democracy please CNN! You started out so informative and insightful in your Jan 6th committee coverage. The analysis was impressive. You even had a time slot devoted to democracy. That disappeared and now you just seem to be trying to prop up the Republican Party. They created the mess they are in, and you are trying to rescue them while they continue to try to suppress voting rights. This is how democracy dies. Thanks CNN. Moving on to the topic of national security — your clip of Anderson Cooper’s interview with Maggie Haberman left out some of the the most astounding information she provided. The fact that the former guy routinely tried to take top secret documents up to the private residence in the WH and bristled when Kelly (his first chief of staff) tried to stop him. I wonder how successful his next 3 chiefs of staff were at this task or if they even tried to stop him. I gave you 3 stars for the fact that, on occasion, you do point out Republican politician lies. So many lies. The country of George “I cannot tell a lie” Washington and Honest Abe has become a country where lying is big business, and the go-to strategy for getting Republicans elected whether they are Trump candidates or not..Version: 7.7
✓ Old style was betterThe new layout is terrible the story pictures so small , bring back the old one !.Version: 7.25
✓ Democrats rigged the electionCNN is completely fake news it’s bizarre.Version: 6.14
✓ CNN app slow to loadThis app is great but it takes so long to load each time I open it. Very frustrating..Version: 5.15
✓ Background - chewing up my battery!Not sure if this issue is intentional or just a bug but my iPad was chewing up battery usage for some unknown reason, in recent days. I checked and it was the CNN App running in the background and I could not turn it off. The setting option was ‘faded’ and not accessible. My only solution was to delete the App. Have I missed something or are you able to fix the problem. Cheers..Version: 7.37
✓ Recent jumps and diversionsRecently this app began redirecting to other pages outside of the app. It’s really annoying when you’re trying to read and scroll. I get that the redirects are highlighted stories within the story but my gosh this didn’t happen in the past at this rate. Can’t there be a clear “tap” required rather than just gently touching your finger on a link while scrolling. So annoying so I’ve quit using the app..Version: 6.4
✓ Live Channel a JokeCNN’s live feed on this app is a joke. Clicking to watch Live TV often takes 2-3 minutes before it comes up, if at all. That has been an issue here for years. Often times requiring shutting down and starting over. Then, if successful, you’ve got 10 minutes of preview if not logging in via a provider. Unfortunately, you are first subjected to 45-60 seconds of ads. So you’re down to 9 minutes of preview already. But wait, then it informs you they are in a commercial break and the screen is just blank. Yet your preview time continues to click down. So often times the preview you get is 5 minutes or less, and you just might encounter yet another sd break. So taking 7-8 minutes to view 5 minutes or less of programming is asinine. Might I suggest for CNN to retain users & viewers you stop paying your commentators, network executives, & stockholders a hugely lot less and return to being a worthy news outlet…..just sayin’..Version: 7.34
✓ Some aspects are really bad, make the app unusableIt is impossible to turn off captions, every video I watch has captions turned on, they are auto-generated, delayed and downright annoying. I turned them off a thousand times over the last year to no avail. Wrote to CNN on several occasions, they never fixed it. Uninstalled the app today, it’s enough. And one more extremely annoying thing related to videos: the have limited number of ads they play before videos so for weeks, even months I see the sam ad before every video. After a while it just becomes ludicrous. Goodbye CNN..Version: 6.18
✓ Worst News app I have ever usedThe thing is all your positive reviews come from people who politically align with you and whilst I do on about half of your content this is a awful app and this is what people should be worrying about not whether you have integrity (it’s obvious that the organisation probably does and isn’t evil like some people say it is). The app is slow and you can’t continue to listen to music whilst you use it which is different to many news apps. There are advertisements on 1 minute videos but also on videos about such serious issues which just ruins the tone of what your trying to say. You can’t have a video about a air strike and have a advert about energy drinks on it so may I suggest if having a advert on something serious will make it less serious perhaps don’t have adverts on such content. I want to view your content but I often get bored of waiting or scroll off a video by accident and have to watch the advert again which I’m sure you do on purpose..Version: 6.18.3
