Not accessible for people with low vision
You are not serving over 1 million Canadians who have low vision and require large bold print.
Most organizations provide a “ View in browser“ option which brings up large bold print. When I asked my federal and local MP to add this to their newsletters, they did so within one day. How come CBC cannot or will not fulfil its accessibility and inclusion obligations As a crown corporation you are obliged to do this under the Accessible Canada act. If I do not see an improvement soon, I will go through the CBC ombudsman.
Need a “Latest news” tab or option
Would be more efficient and important to have a choice that allows us to view/read content from most recent to older no matter what sections or segments of the news are selected.
Preferred previous version
I preferred the previous version of this app which allowed for selecting a province or two that were the main focus. Now one gets to scroll through what the 24 news cycle is peddling before hitting on the local stuff. Or maybe I am missing something.
Terrific
Up to date, easily navigated
Not Compatible
The latest update states that it is not compatible with my iPad version...first time I've had that message. Have deleted CBC News and unfortunately it must remain that way as trying to reinstall from the cloud comes up with the same message....pity.
Frustratingly disappointing
Update notification inviting me to update, then states that app is incompatible. Time to delete!! And even AFTER deletion, the App Store update notification remains. Very very disappointing.
Update doesn't work
I have had this app on my iPad for about a year, worked okay. Today I received an update notice. When I tried to update, it told me the app was not compatible with my device, despite the fact that I have had it for a year and was notified I needed to update it!!! I deleted the app and tried to reinstall, but it won't install, says it is incompatible with my device. Very poor.
Support Dropped Below iPhone 5s
Version 3.3.4 seems to have dropped support for iPhones prior to 5s.
Good...except the audio issue
I like this app, but it always pauses my music when I open the CBC app. I assume this is a bug because the CBC app isn't playing any audio, so the pausing is unnecessary.
Gone bad, reinstalling doesn't help
It was working on my iPod Touch iOS 6.1.3 earlier today. But when I opened it later, the screen just went black. I've deleted and reinstalled it, and downloaded it again from the iTunes store - nothing works. Useless.
