CNN: Live & Breaking News

I removed the CNN app due to the fact that CNN will be sold to a friend of Donald Trump. And i don’t support anything related to him.

When scrolling and stopping the app is super sensitive. So if you scroll and then want to stop and you hold your finger for a millisecond the app recognizes this as ‘I want to open this article’ but what I actually want to do is stop scrolling and read the headline….and not open the article. You should be able to scroll and stop without opening an article that you stop on.

CNN had a good app with clear subjects, easily to find. Now it is turned into a spaghetti of articles. Your CNN is gone. Not interesting anymore!

The apps constantly opens links when I scroll over items. This means I open ads and articles simple by scrolling over them. This makes the app practically unusable and highly irritating. I enjoy reading cnn articles, but this app I will now delete.

Scrolling is terrible, the articles you’re trying to scroll past keep opening up accidentally at the lightest touch

App completely useless after latest update. Scrolling for articles of interest it keeps opening articles accidentally. Enormously frustrating to use. Moving to other news app.

This is less to do with the app and more to do with CNN International, CNN is a news channel and while I like to be educated about other countries, you don’t have a program called CNN Europe, but you have three or four programs about Africa on the weekends and it’s very irritating to have program after program after program about Africa… Don’t get me wrong. They can be very entertaining and cultural, but do you show those programs in America? Sometimes I turn on the news to see the news and I see inside Africa, African voices, connecting Africa, marketplace Africa,
To top it off you put a bunch of programs on here at night and cut off Wolf Blitzer! I find this very annoying and several people I know that also watch CNN quit watching CNN as a result of your programming choices… It wouldn’t be so bad but it seems on the weekend that you want to give us African culture in Europe why don’t you give us European culture and talk about other European countries?
As an expat, the one thing I really like was to be able to turn on CNN and see the news and now I end up getting all these other programs through the day that are based out of London instead of the USA and that you cut off Wolf Blitzer it’s really irritating and replaced several programs with the program first move quest means business incredibly irritating or Issa Suarez tonight or One World
I’m just curious how many of these programs are showing in America and would like you to consider to bring some of the regular programming back for the Expats who live in Europe and consider toning down all the African Sundays it’s gotten to the point that I watch less and less CNN because it’s so irritating not to be able to turn on the news

How difficult can it be to develop a properly functioning app? This app has been nothing but disastrous for the past years where it’s mostly the videos causing havoc: videos crashing the app, videos halting spontaneously in the middle of conversations, videos just not showing at all, wrong videos playing, videos with sound that’s out of sync. For an app relying on video content, not a great showing… But it got even worse with the app’s latest update: the app refused to start properly and just froze shorting the CNN logo. I got it working again by removing the app and reinstalling it. However, this resulted in all my saved articles being deleted from my account. CNN, seriously? A single star for effort (but that is being generous).

Video's are often cut-off or skipped starting with an advertisement screen with just the cnn logo. Basically you can't watch video's on the CNN app.

Not only requires the update OS16, which iPhones from 5 years ago not have.
Even worse there old app does not work, demands the update, which can’t on OS15.xx
Which makes the old app and thus CNN for millions of users around the world unusable.
Large part of world citizens do not have the means to buy new phones. As long as a phone has basic functionality they will keep it.
It is worrisome that CNN very often reports and thus make money of those people with less means, rights and possibilities, and it are those people who CNN makes it impossible for them to get the CNNnews.
That is against everything CNN says to stand for and delivers only for those who have money enough and excluding the poor.
Technically there is no objection what so ever to let the CNN app work on older phones.
To conclude that it is CNN intent to exclude people.

The app has been a disastrous experience over the last few years. Videos stop playing haphazardly, won’t play at all, the wrong video plays when tapping a link, and now, with the latest update, (some) videos make the app crash (on 15 Pro). And not just videos; even reading a plain text article regularly results in spontaneous app crashes. There’s no pattern, just frequent crashes. How difficult is it to hire a couple of professional app developers? And then, just before you release a new version of your app, have the app TESTED by professional testers and regular users? A single star, for effort, and that’s being generous…

I deleted this app because it blocks all the important news and videos due to my location.

For preferences I choose international news, but then every story says it’s blocked due to my location, I live in the Netherlands. Not a world news outlet after all

Change change change while you still have a chance! You are being beaten and run over from all sides. First off: make this UI/UX top of the line : world class. What you have now is very very bad.

Is it really necessary to use outbrain to promote the most rediculous, idiotic and deceptive lies in advertising?
Its a disgusting smear on your image.

Got the app working again but completely removing the app from my iPhone and reinstalling it. This is the second time I needed to use this approach. The catastrophic effect of this route is that, even as a registered user who’s logged in, you lose all saved/bookmarked content. All interesting stories, stuff you want to read later, etc. is gone. What ever happened to iCloud? Why not have a bookmark collection for registered (and logged in) users? Apart from this utterly annoying lack of user support, the app also shows several other unpleasantries: articles scroll way past their textual end, videos not playing, changing to landscape often leaves the app and video in portrait mode, share button only works when it feels like it, etc., etc. How difficult is it to build a properly working iOS app? The single star given is two too many…

Terrible. Just terrible. Articles scroll way past their textual end, videos don’t play, changing to landscape often leaves the app and video in portrait mode, share button only works when it feels like it, etc., etc. Like I said, terrible…
