I love the CBC News app!
Jul 24, 2020 I live in the US, but this news app is like a “breath of fresh air” because all you get is unbiased, straight-forward news (similar to Reuter’s) WITHOUT all of the stupid commercial advertisements that render the majority of US news articles unreadable. The advertisements on US news sites have gotten so bad that they cause the story’s content to “jump” constantly as ads are being loaded. I also love that I do NOT have to endure the endless, mind-numbingly stupid prompts instructing me to turn off ad-blockers in order to read an article! CBC News provides important world news stories that load quickly on my iPhone. (The only time I might have an issue is when I click on a news article that’s linked to an American publication.) It’s also good to see how the rest of the world views the US with all that’s currently been happening here! CBC is the best! All of the rest (BING, Google, Apple News, et. al) don’t compare and ultimately drive me crazy with their inundation of ads, auto-play of video content and pay-walls thresholds. CBC News is an excellent news app! Keep up the great work. (Everyone else, take note... this is how News should be presented!)more -
Jan 21, 2021 When I get notifications of news articles on my tablet and I click on it, it does not always take me to the article on my notification. And it seems hard to find the article as it is way down the list of articles. -
This app rocks
Aug 2, 2018 This app has never let me down, and has sections for news that I can quickly keep up with. CBC news app is the first app I click on in the morning to get World news, along with local interest news and political news. Though don’t live in Canada, the perspectives on American politics help me.more -

Jan 23, 2021 Info concise, informative and uses everyday language so easy to understand. Very up to date, with interesting tops concerning majority.

Jan 21, 2021 CBC paid for by the Canadian tax payer! The content should be updated more often, the content should be neutral and the content should be focused more on just Canadian news. None of the above is done! -
Jan 20, 2021 Made me download app to read news article from web, then proceed to show me article from web once the download was complete. Garbage. -
Experiencing technical difficulties?
Feb 13, 2018 I got this app in the hope of seeing some olympic highlights or live events. To date I’ve seen only the “technical difficulties” message on EVERY video I attempted to view, this has happened every day. Perhaps it is because I am in the USA and they don’t stream to IP addresses here, BUT , there is nothing on the App Store that indicates that. So I’ll probably be deleting this app soon.more -
Jan 15, 2021 Just because it forced me to leave a review. App started popping up with an unskippable message to leave a review. Force close a few times, but mesaage appears after reading every article now... Force me to leave a review against my will? 1*more -
Jan 16, 2021 Ad filled and makes me rate everytime to close the stupid app. Stories dont show when clicked on alot too. Typical cbc @#$%

Fix notifications
Apr 10, 2020 Push notifications are not respecting the preferences and settings -
Nov 20, 2020 The first I've taken an hour to read or view mainstream news in a while, and I was particularly impressed by the relation of one story to another thematically. I was 'catching up' on policing cyber crime as I haven't been able to protect myself from the effect of false, omitted or motivated information with my name on it. In terms of a fluid organizational grouping:"the set of selections made in a first use session" I see that the CBC is valuing the utility of relevant archives, as it should. :)more

Jan 18, 2021 Often difficult to locate stories as some files under 'Regional' affect people many provinces away. Toronto and Ontario stories often appear on national tab. Division of regions is clearly irrational: Ontario has 7 regions, Alberta has 2, and BC (2x Alberta population) has one. All of Quebec (in the English app version) is represented by one region which is Montreal. As expected from the organization of the regions, the rural areas get very little coverage. Site is often filled with US newswire.more -
Sometimes useful mostly feminist propaganda
Aug 26, 2018 CBC does offer some true journalism. However, for the past 15 years and certainly the past 6 years it seems what passes as the most important news is little more than feminist, minority, lgbtq ( and whatever new letters get added to that mix ) whining. I turn the channel when I get bombarded with that. Stick to news, not political propaganda.more -
Jan 20, 2021 It doesn't always load when clicking on notifications. Not great compared to other news apps, but the reporting is quality. -
Not as good as NPR ONE
Aug 27, 2018 See NPR One App. The CBC App is lacking a stream of news catered to your previously listened-to content. Or, if there is one, it isn’t obvious. Though the fact that you can choose what story comes next is a better feature than NPR. A combination of both features would be better.more

Too many ads
Nov 6, 2020 I get they need to make money off international users but the CBC has so many ads is basically unusable, you often have to watch 30s of an ad just to load an ad-filled article -
Not worth it for the invasive ads
May 8, 2020 I used to use this app daily, but now I’m getting interrupted by super invasive full screen video ads that I can’t close?! That is where I draw the line. App deleted. I know ad revenue is important but that is unacceptable. -
Too many notifications with default settings
Jun 20, 2019 CBC has opted to have Top Stories in notifications by default. Today alone I got 5 alerts from CBC. Fewer alerts should be the default. -
Why is there no sport coverage
Aug 8, 2018 You cover all sorts of fringe interests, why not something mainstream?

Jan 17, 2021 It's most frustrating. Whenever I open an excerpt, I can't seem to finish the whole text. It always stops.
What’s Groovy
The failure to refresh the news in a timely basis within this app make it a waste of memory and bandwidth. Covid-19 status in BC is routinely behind at a criminal level. Once again, CBC drops the ball, leaving us in the dark for days at a time. Recommend getting your news from a 'current' news provider rather than fom an organization that satisfies itself with "reporting " history. (Any other news outlet will suffice).

What’s Subpar
This app seems to have more ads than I remember from some time back. But my main complaint is that it seems to do a lot of background activity that depletes my iPhone 6s battery causing more cycling to be needed. I have all background activity choices turned off. I recently deleted the app and then reloaded a few days later but after a few days the same thing is happening. My senior software engineer son told me it must be buggy and to delete it, which I will do next.

Important news source
I read CBC news app to broaden my understanding of neighboring Canada, a country I’ve visited many times since 1964. Additionally its international perspective provides a nice balance to that of USA. -
Smart, Honest and Up to the Minute
This app features well written stories that speak to Canadians and an international audience. The news is never bias or emotionally charged. -
Works great
Saw a bunch of old reviews on here and thought I’d add a newer one. The app works fine as intended, no glitches or crashes. -
Marvelous News Organization
It’s a breath of fresh air to get our neighbors to the North’s take on us and to know more of what’s happening in Canada.

Very Good Canadian News App
Although the layout is a bit cluttered, this is an excellent news app. You get a full selection of national and international news, with sections devoted to text, video and photos. And although I have not fully used it yet, the feature that lets you save top stories for offline reading looks promising. Videos played crisply, with no problems or delays. The news photos were well selected. It is also interesting to see how there are subsections for news coverage in each Canadian province. I am a US user who likes to get the news perspective of world journalists. This app is very well executed and offers good content in a well designed package. Other news sites could learn from this example. -
Crashes and more
Since the recent update, crashes on launch, even from a "cold start" with the app having been fully exited beforehand. Reinstalling didn't work. Also, a recurrent problem is the fact that a newscast won't stop playing when you switch to another app, and re-entering the CBC News app hides the newscast progress bar, so there's no way to stop or rewind the stream. -
Comments?
I really enjoy this app! The only issue that I would like to see changed is to add the comment section on each article. This section is found on the website and I really enjoy reading the public's comments on the daily news. Please add this feature to your iPad and iPhone apps. Thank you so much. Love CBC! -
Slow but good
This app is annoyingly slow. You think it's loaded and you try to scroll down, only to see that it's frozen and still loading. Probably too much varied content on the opening page is causing this. I don't have any issues with ads. Otherwise it's a useful app. -
A good first start
This is a good first start for fans of CBC News. I would like to see the full nightly version of The National and not just the mobile version and please improve the quality of the videos. They are very grainy.

I turn to it sometimes for news and I am dismayed that there is no option to comment on articles. Also, real time reporting is practically non-existent with many 'breaking news' updates containing information several hours, if not a day or more, old. You need to hire a few more people to update the news. Edit: Getting a little better

Sometimes its not as up to the minute as other news agencies such as global. But still my go to in the morning.

You removed the ability for Google Chromecast
In your last update you removed the ability to gun the program from my iPhone to Google Chromecast so I can watch it on my TV. Puzzles me why that happened. I hope it was a mistake. -

Latest update not compatible with iPad 3 (Retina)
Strange, the late December update to CBC news insists that I install it. But when I do it tells me that it is not compatible with my iPad, a 3rd generation version. My iPad is updated to the latest iOS so I don't know what it's problem might be. The current version still works but I have to put up with the annoying reminder to update, that won't update.

I have found the “news” to be poorly written and spur of the moment. It is almost as if the writers are place on a 10 minute limit to find and write a story just so space is taken up. I expect more. Lacking quality reporting! -

Crash king of the apps
Cbc news has a very readable format, it's content mix is good, but after I reinstalled it this week, it crashes about every fifth time I touch a link to an article! My iPad did this maybe six months ago(?) with this app, then settled down with very few crashes/spinning wheels, & I uninstalled it a few weeks back along with other apps in a clean up. Took only two days for withdrawal symptoms, so reinstalled from the app store today, only to find it crashing & freezing as I go to stories. Please FIX THIS! It is unusable as it is. -
Notifications Not Working
I have used the CBC News app for several years and have always enjoyed it. I just upgraded to an iPhone 6 running 8.1.1, however, and have found that CBC notifications no longer work--not even after I restored the phone as a new phone. Indeed, the CBC app does not even appear in the notifications center of "Settings." Please address these problems in the next update. -
Article viewing area is TINY
Love the CBC News. Mobile WEBSITE is great but the APP IS HORRIBLE. The layout is cluttered. The area to actually read an article is less than half the screen real estate compared to the website version where the article is more than 3/4 of the screen. Change it so the controls and tabs hide and I can have full screen reading (like NY Times and other apps) and you get 5 stars. -
Crash Crash Crash!!!
When it used to work it was great, now it crashes all of the time. Also it won't let you post to Facebook or twitter. Please fix! Now what shows up when you click on a story is garble writing as if a child hit a bunch of keys. Very annoying. -

Just because it forced me to leave a review. App started popping up with an unskippable message to leave a review. Force close a few times, but mesaage appears after reading every article now... Force me to leave a review against my will? 1*

It's most frustrating. Whenever I open an excerpt, I can't seem to finish the whole text. It always stops.

Poor writing/incomplete stories
I have found the “news” to be poorly written and spur of the moment. It is almost as if the writers are place on a 10 minute limit to find and write a story just so space is taken up. I expect more. Lacking quality reporting! -
No comments
Cannot see comments like on website. Then app hijacks website when trying to access to read comments. Deleted in order to access website. -
Can’t read story comments
Not sure why such basic functionality is missing for the iOS app. No option to even read story comments. -
Crashes on startup on IOS 10
Yeah my device is old, but this app worked until the most recent update. Now it crashes upon startup. -
Great content, Unreliable technology
“Saved Articles” function NEVER works.
There are no editor reviews currently available. Please check again soon.
