CBC News

Pretty nice design, with large photos and text. The first news app I don’t want to delete for the design. Such a vivid and bright red color, good news feed. Yet the entertainment sector should be improved. It would be great to read more film reviews.

Canada is the greatest country on earth!

Lately I have been having issues with the app loading. When I tap on an article to read, it takes an abnormally long time to load. The text place holders and image place holders stay grey with a left to right scrolling “animation” for lack of a better term. This has been going on for sometime now.

I love the CBC but have deleted the app and switched to the website because of the incredibly intrusive ads. In the most recent updates there are now 15-30 second unskippable ads in-between text stories. This app is rapidly devolving into a free to play game with the level of ads it makes you view. Want to watch a video? 2x 15-30 second ads Want to read an article? You get an ad that you can’t skip for 30 seconds. Seriously CBC what has happened to you? Used to be one of the best news apps on the App Store and now it’s no better than the free to play garbage.

I love the CBC, but this app pushes ads that I sit patiently through only to be left unable to exit because the ‘X’ in the top right corner of my screen is behind the WIFI and battery icons. No amount of tapping works. I’ve literally had to reboot my phone to get past this frustrating barrier. Do better.

But every morning all the top hits in my feed are Trump or US politics. If I want US news I’ll install a US app. For now I’m uninstalling CBC Trump nerwork.

After clicking on a particular story of interest it takes about 10-15 seconds to load. It’s a bit annoying to say the least.

I am getting tired of having to view articles in video format instead of being able to read them. It takes much longer to click on a video, watch multiple ads, and then listen to the story. Please allow us to have a choice.

It’s 2024 and you’re Canada’s biggest and most important news agency. How do you have an app that doesn’t work? I receive a notification for a story I’m interested, I click it, it takes me to your app but not only is the article I clicked on not there, it’s nowhere to be found. Who designed this app for you? Who built it? Who is maintaining it? You’re paying them all too much for what you’re getting. It’s so painful to use.

10 Islamist middle eastern men beat up two queer women and no mention of this attack as the police blamed the two women. Where is your article and the follow up on the investigation?! I was a huge supporter of cbc but no more.
