Pros and cons of CBC News app for iPhone and iPad
CBC News app good for
Ask to update but when I push the button a message is shown "Unable to update"
it would be perfect if I could stream the videos to my Apple-TV!
An absolute must for those who want a quick update of what is happening around their city, province, country or world. I am a world traveler and use it everyday.
This app is my favorite news app. This is a must for anyone looking for high quality streaming and up to date news. Good job!
I enjoy this app because it is updated more frequently than other news apps. HOWEVER, it has an annoying habit of freezing the screen after a video is viewed.
Some bad moments
The is one of the worst apps Ive used and Ive given this app many chances to improve in the last year. Articles are often cut short where the end of the story is nowhere to be seen. Videos mostly dont play, tempting you with that triangle shaped play icon that doesnt do anything when you tap it. Photos are cropped such that often heads are chopped off. Clicking Help in the app takes you to a page not found.
All-in-all, this should be a simple app to develop but somehow CBC used Joe from Craigslist and this piece of crap was the result. CBC, this method of making news available to the public is simply not acceptable. Start over.
I had to watch three 30 second ads to open a single video. The app offers very little that cant be found by simply using the website. Not worth the space on your phone.
Has never functioned well, but recently is worse! Pages will not load until the second try. CBC is Canadas News. The App should work better!
I agree with previous reviews. Decent enough app for Canadian and world news but too many streaming ads with audio that muscle their way into and over your news experience. Extremely annoying. Also the site is refreshed with new info at a very desultory rate, stories hang around for days before being updated.
Ridiculous not to have this absolutely basic feature; I use ctv go app instead just because of this!
Like YouTube I had to remove this app. Dont work no more! Bye
