Ratings and reviews

4* for news. But 1* because it does not exit when you use the back button. The cnn app opens when you click on CNN news in a browser ( don't want it to ). And the app doesn't exit when you hit back. News. I like the live audio only option on the front page. Handy during car drives. BUT it does not work on my pixel 4a 5g via bluetooth. All the other usual audio and music apps work ok.

Yesterday CNN had a text only mode!!! I Was so Happy!!! Today, that mode is nowhere to be found, I have pretty much stopped using the CNN app since it went video and picture heavy, I was so excited to be able to read JUST headlines and articles again! Today, I went back to catch up on the news, and the mode was nowhere to be seen. Guess I'll go back to using other news sources, I had been exited to be able to 'read' the news again.

Videos now take between 30 seconds to a minute to load. This level of delay was not present in older versions. I'm not sure if this is an issue with an ad getting cued up or something else, but I find myself dumping out of many attempts to watch a video because I don't feel like waiting. I think this is especially important to resolve since it looks like CNN is now pushing more video based content on their phone app.
