CNN: Breaking US & World News 12+

I believe CNN Is the best News source that there is. Period. I truly believe that it’s the best hope for this country that my daddy fraught for and my grandfather fought for. It’s the best chance to get the truth out about some Republicans that tried to overthrow our democracy! I may be wrong but I believe that CNN cares about the working people, the disabled, the older people, social justice. And that it knows that this country is being run for the wealthy and corporate America. That we need our Unions back. That the wealthy,greedy corporate America has monopolies on everything in this country. From all the meat we consume 4 companies control 95% of it. The oil and gas companies have monopolies. Social media companies have monopolies, I am counting on CNN to expose and report the truth about what is going on in this country to save our Democracy! And I may be wrong. But as imperfect as the Democrats are I Believe that they do care about voting rights, social justice,about the working people,the less fortunate, climate change,retired people, disabled, veterans, Don’t let America DOWN PLEASE!

I am so displeased with this latest version of the CNN App! The developers have totally stripped away the control and flexibility the user once had. I used to be able to Go Live, click on Schedule and select a show to watch which had previously aired that day. I LOVED that feature and now it’s gone! If for example I missed the airing of The Situation Room which airs at 2:00 pm PST here in Cali, no worries. I knew that I could watch the full show, in its entirety anytime later that same day. I could click to watch any show that had already aired by Judy clicking on it. Now I can no longer watch a show that I missed...How could the developers remove this important feature?!

This app is now just a ho-hum app. It is boring and does not offer anything meaningful to the user. I used to watch CNN faithfully on the older app version because it meant so much to me. In my opinion it was the BEST news app out there. Now there is no reason for me to use it. Truly disappointing!

The stories are good , the content in general is reliable. The biggest gripe is the amount if commercials. You will literally spend 40% of your time watching the same 6 commercials if you want to browse the videos. The worst part is the click bait that “the most trusted news source” uses, they give you an X to close commercials but it’s impossible to click the actual exit portion of it, instead every attempt redirects you to some terrible product page. I hope the sponsors wake up and see that likely 98% of the traffic they get from CNN is people just trying to close the commercial by clicking the X and are duped into a redirect because it’s actually a nano sized exit spot and don’t actually care about the product and leave their site immediately. Really a totally scammy thing to do CNN. At this point I just avoid the videos and get what I need from the text stories. If I'm forced into a video for lack of a written version, I just turn the volume down during the commercial and ignore the content (focus on the timer at the bottom). It's only natural to want to avoid watching the same commercial for the 50th time ...
