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.

I wish I could give this app zero stars. Only about 10% of the content is useful to me. TOO MANY VIDEOS! Ads are taking over. Please limit ads to 15 s max. It's ridiculous to have a 30 s ad before every video clip. I really didn't even want the damn videos, would much rather just have text to read. If you post a video you should also post a transcript for those who can't watch it or are hearing impaired.
