User Reviews for CBC News

Interesting articles

I enjoyed the unbiassed and most accurate news articles not just about the most recent things that are happening but some of the background and minutia that can be found on the subject. The reporting seems to be unbiassed

Great app

Really like the dark mode, only complaint is the scrolling is a bit jittery. Would also like the pictures to be a bit bigger

I love the CBC News app!

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!)

CBC app user

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.

AppleTV app seriously broken

I’ve used this app regularly for a few years, but in the last couple of months it has taken a nosedive on reliability. Problems include being unable to exit a video once it starts and crashes after videos complete and should transition to the next in the queue. I hope someone at CBC is working to address these concerns because it was a great source of Canadian news content.

Can’t livestream anymore.

Keep getting box that says “Sorry this content is not available right now”. Perhaps it’s a location issue as I am not in Canada. I was able to livestream local news all through 2020 and 2021.

This app rocks

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.

Good but video issues

The app is good. No real complaints as far as reading text and navigation are concerned. But I’m having issues with videos included with some stories. It makes you watch ads—annoying but nowadays expected—but then the second ad freezes. There isn’t a way to restart it or skip it. So the intended video never plays.

Not as good as NPR ONE

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.

Sometimes useful mostly feminist propaganda

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.
