Ratings and reviews

This app is extremely annoying. Despite turning off all notifications the app still sends alerts. Most of the notifications are about unimportant things, not worth being interrupted for. Not recommended. Update April 2, 2020: This app is still garbage. Why don't they have a 15 second skip forward/backward feature? Sometimes you need to re-watch a few seconds of video. If you move the slider rewind to video backward you have to re-watch more advertising. 👎

Please just go back to the old version. Thanks. New version isn't worth using. Please take this down and rework it from the old version, it won't stop pushing notifications(Even though I have it all turned off in settings) and its just a trash app compared to before. Uninstalling, will get news from website from now on. Edit: dec 2023: Now worse than ever(GOOD JOB) More ad than news, 30second video with 5+Minutes of ads. SERIOUSLY? nix the ads already, please.

CBC News on a browser hounds you to download the app (not cool), but once you do, the webpage/services otherwise available using a browser either disappear or are broken. For ex., the share article option - it brings up apps to do that, but the list doesnt scroll up, just down (?); also, the comments section is completely removed; &, GPS location for local news - it won't load GPS location w phone GPS & location turned on. These are just way too many stupid annoyances, esp w the download nagging
