Reviews for CNN: Live & Breaking News

Impossible to watch. I get alerts all day & when I finally try to follow one to a live feed, I get 8 minutes remaining of “free preview” (?), which counts down by the second through 4 minutes of 11 (ELEVEN) ads. Seriously? You expect me to watch 4+ minutes of ads to get the […]

Notifications don’t come through. I have them all on and I don’t get a single notification until I open the app, then suddenly I’ll get literal dozens at a time. If I got for more than a week without opening the app, once I finally do it gives me so many notifications it crashes my […]

I use CNN Go on my FireTV. But the app occasionally crashes, and it always seems to be when I’m in the middle of a show. This wouldn’t be as infuriating if the app would have some way of keeping track of my progress in shows that I’m watching, like other TV apps. But it […]

I used to love this app and the notifications and emails I got all day to update on the latest news. Like others, when you open the app, it’s a black screen with a logo and you have to force close it and try 2 or 3 times to reload. This is annoying and cumbersome […]

Like others have indicated, since the last update I have been unable to use the app. I keep getting an “Unexpected error” message and am told to “try again.” I have gone as far as uninstalling and reinstalling the app, which worked…once. Guess I will have to read my morning headlines elsewhere until the problem […]

I would like to be able to listen to live broadcasts without having to stream the video with the screen having to be on. It kills my battery and wastes data. I’ve suggested this a while back in 2018 but nobody listens. When i’m at work, I want to listen to the c n n […]

I used to like this app. It used to work perfectly. Now the videos won’t load. I went to YouTube to make sure it was not an internet issue but that loaded immediately. Also if I’m reading an article and I get called out of it for some reason such as a text or a […]

I appreciate I can get reliable news at any time without a subscription fee. However, the ads play before nearly every video clip and are so extremely repetitive it gets maddening. Also, when I accidentally get taken into the “Live” TV section, when the time runs out, I’m unable to get back to the site. […]

It was a 5 no problems at all now suddenly the last couple of weeks I can’t get in so it’s a 1 – useless. I receive a message saying “Unknown error try again”. Tried all the usual solutions – uninstalled and reinstalled, turned then phone off and on, I even talked with my internet […]

Several times a day it will not load. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes it for a few hours. After finishing an article and backing out, it goes to the top of page rather than staying where you were reading. These and other problems have been reported for a long time, but no fixes. Fox, NYT, WP […]

Loved this app and used it for years but a few days ago they started pay-walling some articles and then today I noticed they pay-walled all articles (you only get one for free), so promptly deleted it and will not use it again unless they remove the subscription needed. There’s loads of other websites I […]

The app itself not to bad. Has plenty to read on. But when it comes to the listen feature. It’s trash. About 3 mins of content and 10 mins of the same ads over and over. And almost everytime I use it(which is alot) sometimes the transmission just cuts out and straight to an adult. […]

I’ve had the CNN app installed for over 14 years without any problems. 5 star rating until a few days ago. The terms apparently updated a few weeks ago and now limits certain (all) articles to subscribers and blocks them when you try to read them. The only option presented is to pay $30 a […]

Another dissatisfied 10+ year user deleting the app because 100% of articles became paywalled after reading like 5 articles. Y’all get my data, profit off of showing me ads, and you still have the balls to try to charge me $30. That’s not how this game works. The final straw was wanting to click on […]

Reached my monthly free article limit on the first thing I’ve clicked on June 1st? This is complete BS. And even more ridiculous to charge those of us with cable subscriptions that include the CNN channel, the app literally shows my cable provider in the settings. Plus, I have a Max subscription too. Either of […]

I used to like this app, but I am seriously considering deleting it now. It says that it is free, but when you open a story that you want to read, it blocks you and tells you that they now are requiring a subscription. 😡 ! I have had this app for many years, and […]

Longtime user (at least 10 years) has now deleted the app. I typically scrolled through at least 3x per day. Recently, it seems as if most of the articles I click on to read are locked behind a damn paywall. I will NEVER pay to read these articles. EDIT FOR UPDATE: It now seems that […]

This used to be a great app but not anymore. Now everything is hidden behind a pay wall. And I mean everything. Not a single article for free. CNN is not worth paying for in my opinion, especially when they still serve ads with a subscription. Apparently advertisements as well as tracking and selling my […]

used to love my CNN app. However, big corporate greed has ruined the app. I used to read the articles, and only certain ones required subscription access. now I can’t read anything unless I pay a monthly subscription fee. the subscription doesn’t include any live views, so really? I have to pay now to get […]

I am very disappointed in cnn. you took a great app that was free, so I could read the news, and now you want me to pay for a subscription. I’m uninstalling the app, and removing you from my tv viewing as well. I’ll go elsewhere for my news. I always thought you were the […]
