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

This CBC app operates smoothly and the option for black background and white text is a nice feature which I'll use. Being able to save stories is a nice option, an improvement over the Apple version of the app I also have. However, just saving all the current stories, at least in text only, like my BBC app does automatically, would be even better.

I love the way CBC joins Canadians through its shared coast to coast national and local programming; it's my first choice in radio and television programmes. As a result, the apps are very important to me because I use my tablets and smartphone exclusively now, instead of radio or television. I have the apps on iOS and android systems; they work beautifully on both. I have not had any problems of any kind and the apps respond quickly and accurately and the layout is excellent.

What's new

Tired of having to fumble for the remote at the beginning of every episode so you can turn on closed captioning? So are we! That's why we're introducing CBC News Android 4.9.1 so you can enjoy a 'set it and forget it experience.' Once you turn closed captioning on, it will stay on for all future episodes until you decide to turn the setting off.
