Negative review Slanting the news. by anonym
Why did you take your own poll down when it showed Bernie Sanders winning by a landslide? 2/5
Negative review by anonym
Very comprehensive coverage, however seems slanted against conservatives views. Could be a little more balanced in coverage! I'm not particularly a Trump fan but get tired of him being demonized. Counted 5 of your articles about him today. Enough! 2/5
Negative review NO SCROLLING NO GOOD! And why are the videos repeated in all stories with attached video? by anonym
Would rate zero if I could. 1/5
Positive review Not too darn bad by anonym
Much better then the new BBC site which I uninstalled. Read USA Today and Zite as well, makes for a well rounded information glut. 4/5
Negative review CNN by anonym
I have always liked this app for the great news coverage. However, A lot less Trump would be GREAT. The show is real bad , but the app now takes a close second. There's so much more going on besides his ridiculous side show! There's also the issue of videos not working and stories not loading. Used to be much better. Very frustrating ! 2/5
Negative review Annoying new "more from cnn" button by anonym
I already don't like the flip style page changes, it changes pages to easily.. Now trying to changes pages constantly causes me to hit the "more from cnn" button at the bottom of the screen. What idiot decided to place that button right where most people swipe up from. Also there are too many giant pictures. I just need the headlines, too few stories listed per page. Time to start using another app.. 2/5
Negative review #Bernie Sanders 2016 by anonym
Mr.Sanders won the Democratic debate, but sadly CNN is too pro-establishment to admit that he's the best presidential candidate for the people of America. CNN removed the poll they had for who won the debate, which was clearly won by Sanders by a landslide, and are deleting pro-Sanders comments. Now they're running biased and false propaganda saying that Clinton won even though it was clear that her poll ratings were as abyssmal as her responses to the questions during the debate. #Feelthebern2016. 1/5
Positive review Great app by anonym
However, CNN is owned by Time Warner and Time Warner is one of Hillary Clinton's top donors. Biased reporting. Bernie Sanders won the debate, however CNN is still declaring Hillary won even through their own viewers say he won in the polls. 5/5
Negative review Cnn lame duck journalism by anonym
The worst journalism I have ever seen. Always have agenda and never seem to be in touch with a true newsworthy report. Most of their staff is a mere puppet front to putting on a charade to getting just ratings. Would be nice to see people like AL Sharpton cut from their staff. Could name a few more but he's the worst. 1/5
Neutral review Owned by Time Warner... by anonym
Unable to watch CNN's live coverage because TWC isn't one of the providers on CNN's list. Very disappointing. Notification doesn't always match content, which too often includes pages of superfluous and/or irrelevant pictures. 3/5
Negative review New look, new issues by anonym
Page loading performance has taken a digger with the latest update. The large-scaled screen header may suit desktops, but on a mobile device its a clunker that's knocked half the articles off at first glance. The "more from CNN" link on every page of every article is a bit of a head-scratcher (redundant, not helpful & not well placed.) Instead of scrolling to the next page, I'm hitting a screen slide with 'news' stories of Katy Perry being kissed by a girl...not liking it. 2/5
Positive review CNN by anonym
Very informative. Easy to navigate through quickly. Update: Better than ever with recent change. (Update 4/14/2014). I love this app. Great app. 5/5
Negative review by anonym
Get rid of the more from CNN at the bottom of the page. I swear I don't know how many times I've accidentally swiped it just scrolling from page to page. Once that's been activated, it won't go away. I have to restart the app, look for the story I was reading, and then find my place. Terrible design feature. It was not there a few weeks ago. Did you hire a monkey to your app design team? You must of hired one with a lobotomy, because the video links don't work correctly, either. Get with it CNN. This app has so much promise. I am sure you can fix it. Fire the retarded monkey. 1/5
Negative review Patchy by anonym
never fully loads, but eats all of my battery and data, does not transition from story to story well meaning it never loads, super annoyed that I have to use my internet browser to look up the news, please fix and I'll give a higher rating 2/5
Negative review by anonym
Needs improvement! Crashes, too many ads, pics not connected to article. And why not have a comments section like other sites? 2/5
Negative review Inappropriate adds and to many pictures by anonym
Adds are inappropriate, intrusive, and look like "click bait", how does CNN not have standards for these. Way to may pictures, want a gallery that's fine but not on every page of the article, the lines of text a page if awful. 2/5
Positive review Great App! by anonym
If I'm interested in a news story I no longer have to google it and then pick where to read about it, they're all right there in one app! It also sends alerts on breaking news, which by the way you can turn off if you like. 5/5
Neutral review Not as good as it can be by anonym
First, pictures should be an option and be able to open full screen when clicked . Second, story sharing shouldn't be limited to mms ( once I upgraded to a note 5 I can only share stories to texts ) third , pictures sometimes don't even go with the story it's like cnn is pushing bad stories by posting attention grabbing pix . 3/5
Neutral review Please fix by anonym
CNN is my go-to news app. I am using a Galexy s6. I would rather scroll through a story then flip pages. Please remove videos that have nothing to do with the article it's attached to. Lately it has gotten frustrating and disappointing to watch a video that never gets to what the article is about and then have to go back and read. It would also be great to play commercials after watching a set amount of videos. Commercial between each one is over kill. It's the same commercial over and over and over.... 3/5
Positive review My Main News Source by anonym
This app does a decent job of getting the news out but sometimes the stories with more photos don't load correctly and only one page is displayed... Which means you only get to read a few sentences. I also get weary of seeing the same stories featured for days on end when I K ow there are other critical stories that aren't being show at all. 4/5
Negative review You are going backwards by anonym
It is amazing that a great organization like CNN is so unresponsive to the users of their APP. Do you not read the reviews? Unrelated videos peppered within segments and now tiny video that will not expand. You are going backwards in pursuit of usability and adoption. 2/5
Positive review Cnn breaking news app by anonym
It crashes ones in a blue moon,it's not like I'm desperate to get the news in the first place. So it's not perfect,so what! ,nothing is anyway. . 4/5
Negative review Used to love this app by anonym
Every time you update, something goes missing or wrong. My ability to comfortably watch a CNN video has disappeared. Now I get bite sized videos that no longer fill up my already small screen. Instead, I'd love to see the number 25 disappear whenever a percentage is stated in an article. Now that's annoying. You are slowly, but surely losing my interest in CNN. 2/5
Neutral review It's ok by anonym
Many videos do not link to the correct stories and you are forced to watch a dumb commercial before each of them. The company's that advertise I make sure I don't use to thwart CNN from monetizing the app. Also the content is sensationalized! 3/5
Positive review Great for on the go... by anonym
Love the notifications.. I'm a news junky but can't always access TV and this is a great way to keep informed 4/5
Negative review CNN is unprofessional by anonym
CNN does not do news. They create entertainment. This means I only read CNN when I want to try and understand Why they choose to make news into prejudicial fantasies of entertainment. 1/5
Neutral review Video links are often broken by anonym
Almost everyday, I find a news article that has a video link which plays a video not related to that news. I am surprised why CNN cannot fix such a simple issue in months. All in all, a good and well designed app. 3/5
Positive review Saved storues crashes by anonym
After swiping through about 3 saved stories, app crashes. Everything else about the news app is great. I found that if you uncheck and back out of saved stories then enter your next story the app lasts much longer, maybe 10 or 15 before it crashes. 4/5
Negative review Videos won't play by anonym
I find it hilarious that when you want to watch a news video the commercial works but the news video doesn't. Commercial plays just fine when it comes time to play the new video it says experiencing technical issues please check your Internet. This used to be a really great app I don't really know what happened to it but I wish I would get it back the way it used to be. 1/5
Neutral review by anonym
Pages are slow to load. Sometimes I can't get to additional pages of an article it freezes on the first page 3/5
Negative review What in the world have you done? by anonym
If I want to watch videos. Go to youtube if I want the news I'll go to CNN. But now you've got all these videos on that don't reference the photograph that accompanies it and takes up too much space and you have to keep flipping through Flipboard. You should have left well enough alone 2/5
Negative review Update Oct 2015 by anonym
Can you please take off the new tab at the bottom "more from cnn"? It's unnecessary, takes up valuable screen space, and just gets in the way. If you want to improve it, try getting the actual stories to load. I'm tired of seeing the"double circle" loading when it actually never loads the story. 2/5
Negative review Half unrelated video and pics by anonym
It's just irritating to be reading a story and have a pic or video right above the words that has no relevance to the story. If you put a pic or video, please make it something that involves the actual story I am currently reading. 1/5
Negative review Was my favorite app.... by anonym
This was the app I used multiple times a day. Everything worked fine. But now the video clips won't play. The commercial plays fine. But after the commercial the screen goes black with the message "experiencing technical difficulties. Check your network connection". Please fix. 2/5
Positive review I love CNN by anonym
I'm very happy with my CNN app! The breaking news alerts keep me up to date. .........But there are some random pictures that don't match the stories. 5/5
Neutral review by anonym
The links NEVER work! Pics don't match the story or there are duplicates pics in the story. And 15 - 30 seconds ads before every video? I usually end up not watching it. You can tell it's not a priority to make to make this a great app. 3/5
Neutral review Like the words not all the pics. by anonym
I would love an option to use this app and temporarily inhibit the pictures that accompany each story. Then it would get max stars and more. Thanks. 3/5
Neutral review Notifications are Good, Content Lacking by anonym
The CNN app does a good job of keeping me updated on what's important with push notifications, but the app lacks real editorial depth once opened. There is a plethora of articles that I've no interest in reading, due to their simplicity and desire to appeal to a wide range of people with stories that sometimes feel in the caliber of one's I've glanced at before signing into Yahoo mail years ago. 3/5
Negative review The CNN Agenda.... by anonym
Nothing but agenda. Cnn doesn't cover REAL news unless it's headlined on other networks for a reasonable amount of time. They minimize real news, and twists stories to get either a Racial reaction or a political one. You're not a news station cnn......you're all AGENDA. 1/5
Negative review Doesn't work well by anonym
Often content can't be seen and stories are obviously missing parts because they often start off referencing things things that are in the story on the full site but not the app. In some cases videos are referenced but arent there. Needs to be re-done and it feels like cnn isn't paying attention or they'd know this stuff already. 2/5
