Description
CNET, the #1 source for tech news and reviews, puts the biggest stories of the day and expert advice on the products you need to own, right in the palm of your hand.
Everything in the new CNET app (designed for both iPhone and iPad) is focused on the areas that you -- as a tech fan -- care the most about: staying up-to-date with the news and making informed product purchases.
STAY UP-TO-DATE WITH TECH NEWS:
- FEATURED STORIES: Don’t have much time but need to stay in the know? CNET combines editorial picks with popular and trending news to feature the most important stories in the tech world.
- LATEST STORIES: Never miss a beat with our broad coverage. Nearly 100 new items published daily! Topics include:
- Technology industry and companies (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Uber, and more)
- Key technology categories such as mobile, computers, internet, and security
- Related topics such as culture, science, and entertainment (yes, CNET does talk about Star Trek occasionally)
- STUNNING GALLERIES: Easily view CNET’s beautiful photography within galleries on a single page.
- BREAKING NEWS ALERTS: Get timely notifications on CNET’s exclusive scoops and in-depth features.
MAKE INFORMED PRODUCT PURCHASE DECISIONS:
- HUGE PRODUCT BREADTH: Whatever type of product you’re interested in (phones, headphones, smart home devices, and more), CNET helps you find the best, at the best price. The independent reviews team spends countless hours putting everything through the ringer so you don’t have to! If it has an “on” button, odds are CNET reviews it.
- FIND THE BEST: Want the best wireless headphones, but don’t have time to wade through every single product review? That’s understandable -- CNET has written literally thousands of them. With that in mind, CNET’s made recommendations for the best of the best just a quick tap away.
- SEARCH ANY PRODUCT: If the best lists don’t have it, CNET’s search definitely does. It’s anchored by the largest tech product review catalog in the world. If that’s not enough, how about lightning-fast autosuggestions powered by natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Fancy tech words FTW! OMGLOLBBQ!
- IMMERSIVE VIDEO: Quickly learn about a product with CNET’s premium video reviews, which accompany nearly all of CNET’s reviews (in case you forgot by now, there are *thousands* of these).
- IN-DEPTH REVIEWS: Need to know more than the highlights? No problem. CNET’s high-quality reviews are done with hours of research and testing, and our reviews provide you with all that data and analysis, along with clear recommendations with our signature “Good, Bad, and Bottom Line” and rating summary. CNET saves you time and money by helping you find the right product quickly.
- FAST-TRACK PURCHASE: You’ve read the review, compared it against a few others, and you’re ready to buy - nice. You’re a tap away from buying it, and at the best price.

Ratings and Reviews
Grateful!
There’s a lot of different information on the internet. To be honest, lol, many of it is very hard to believe without any proof that you can see for yourself. When I crossed paths with CNET in 2011, I got something of value within seconds of registering on the App.! I just wanted you to know that I am so grateful for your help with my Instructional knowledge of life’s terms. Thank you for the sweet pre-time informative knowledge that you always do!
Sincerely,
Eddie MacIsaac
Notifications don’t lead to a story
Every once in a while I get a notification from the CNET app that sounds interesting. I tap on the banner and it takes me to the app, but the story that the notification refers to isn’t anywhere to be found. It has happened for as long as I can remember. Also, some of their own ads are ridiculously out of date. There’s still an add that’s titled “What’s coming with the iPhone 13?” or something like that. Hello? Anyone home? I also hate the way that they take the same story and give it a new title so that you’ll hopefully read it again and subject yourself to more ads. Some of the stories are interesting, and the deals occasionally yield a fortuitous purchase. That’s why I’m giving it 2 stars instead of one. I hope that they’ll read the reviews and actually do something about them. One can only hope.
More clickbait than tech
I used to really like this app but somewhere along the way they forgot they were a technology site and became your centralized source for all things “stimulus”.
At one point 7 of the 10 of the articles articles you could swipe through at the top were all different slants on the latest - or the potential next - stimulus package. Maybe that’s how to fund a tech purchase but it’s not Tech.
Who knows? Maybe during the height of the pandemic and stimulus payouts they were seeing a huge bump in traffic from new users. Catering to them was short-sited because now those of us that used them for their core namesake mission are moving on. I hope they have another set of clickbait stories to replace the traffic. I guess it’s possible that C/Net Really meant Clickbait/Net and I just never realized.
To make matters worse they just released a required update that doesn’t work and won’t let you use the app until you successfully update. So to recap… a tech site that doesn’t report on tech and broke their own app. Great.
Move along. There are so many other options for tech news. May as well use a site that actually gives tech news. If I want stimulus information, I’m not seeking it out from a tech news site.
