CNN: Breaking US & World News Reviews

Apple TV experience is miserable

rgunther

I use this app occasionally to listen in on news events when I’m walking. It stops the feed as soon as I turn off the screen, which is useless if I’m trying to just listen in. But that’s just the tip of the usability annoyances. Have you ever tried using the Apple TV app? Good luck navigating past the Live TV tab. The app insists on switching (slowly and awkwardly) to display live TV any time you navigate past the Live TV tab (which is any time you want to use the app to view anything else). The experience is insufferably frustrating. I’ve ultimately given up, avoiding this app whenever possible. Clearly nobody AT CNN actually uses this Apple TV app.

No way to turn off movie autoplay/automatic animation of story tiles in iPad app

Very Distracting app with the autoplay, and no way to turn it off. So long CNN app.

App not working on iPhone

I keep getting a “ no network connection, try later” screen when I try to use the CNN app. This started over a month ago and I have deleted and reinstalled too many times. Occasionally the app works but more often, not. Too frustrating! This is not happening with any other news app.

After nearly ten years, finally deleting this app

Matt Taibbi’s recent article about CNN is accurate. They’re no longer a “nonpolitical actor”, and haven’t been for awhile. Deleted the app. Bye. Downloading associated press.

Unwanted pop ups

In this device I have this app notifications blocked yet randomly I’ll get a pop up while in the middle of reading an article asking me to subscribe to this or that. Look, I just want to read your news. Stop making it some much of a pain to read an article! You already pepper in plenty of ads that look like legitimate news stories or play plenty of commercials before a video news story. Stop asking me if I want your alerts or your news letters.

Incompatible with VPN

Since the last update this no longer works when my VPN is active, only when I turn it off.

Facts and honest!

CNN is one of the best news station that I can 100% trust! They only report facts and of course they make mistakes sometimes but they will correct if its the case! Love them!

Link Navigation is Too Sensitive To Touch

LLM QS

I cannot scroll through a complete article without navigating to an different article or add that is included via hyperlinks in the original text. It seems like I barely have to hover over hyperlinked text—not actually touch the link—for the app to open a wen browser and open another website. Beyond being extremely annoying, it disrupts the limited time I have to look at the news I want to see!!

keeps logging me out

former westsider

Keeps logging me out even though I have paid for content via Xfinity. Requires frequent updating. Previous versions were better.

App must be broken

T.O.P.s

Won’t let me watch anything. Keeps prompting me to sign in with my provider and won’t let me do anything even after signing in. Guess I’ll go watch Fox News. ?
