## CNN: Live & Breaking News Reviews in South Africa

### ***-- "CNN for “Cheesy Netflix News”"
Netflix Ads disguised as news, is like fake news. Reminds me of FOX. Not even Ads for quality content. Mostly Netflix’s most cheesy low quality content.
-- Tyjgrd, 2023-04-17

### *---- "App crash"
Please fix the app crashing on iOS 16.4.
-- Zeus1811, 2023-02-26

### ****- "Content good - tech a little slow"
Not sure why but there is no smooth scrolling for this app on my tablet. Other news apps do it so much better.

Brilliantly written and researched

Our TV news channel is CNN. We do miss Chris Cuomo :  He is the best.
-- Sunnerley, 2022-03-02

### ***** "Review"
Awesome
-- _elisa.b, 2022-03-01
