This really is the best news app, and it's definitely worth the price! It freezes while scrolling sometimes, but works again in about 5 seconds.but like I said earlier, it's the best news app!!!

Facebook Sign-in ISS...
By : Austinite04  
Still to this day the STUPID app WILL NOT remember my sign-in for facebook!! This is NOT worth buying people.. CNN needs to fix this very annoying issue! Go buy a song instead of this crap APP.. I am fed up with even using it... I will just have to go to my PC from where ever I am to share stories until they fix this BS. Also, the video feed is slightly better, At least on my iphone 4.. It doesn't move the bar that has all the stuff like, World, Business,sports...etc., But the most annoying thing is the WHOLE BLOODY REASON I GOT THE APP... To share stories and I-reports where ever I am, and I can't as of right now without constantly signing-in even in the same session.. dude what does it take to make it work??!!! WAKE UP CNN programers!!! you obviously don't give a darn if a PAY TO USE APP is broken... WOW!!

Never Loads! Bad Ap...
By : Brownword  
Takes forever to load, and the delay between horizontal and vertical view takes is horrible. I've reinstalled this app several times and no improvement! There are better free news apps out there, pick those over this one.

Just want to add my voice to those complaining that there is no audio on much of the video. It really is disappointing that this app is not optimized for iphone. Please, please fix!!!

Bugs...
By : Somberro  
It used to work well before but got some issues now. On the headlines, when I select one specific news, it shows the details which is obvious. But I cannot go back to the list if headlines. I don't see the back button. The only way to go back is restart the iPhone. Please have a look at this problem.

Great News App, It's...
By : Flash2k  
It runs pretty well now, once in awhile while scrolling it will freeze up and not respond for 10-15 seconds. Then all of sudden it works again. Love the MyCNN section with local news and updates but it no longer has stories from my local paper; it has stories from bigger sources in DC near me.

Local News Lacking...
By : Riddle27  
In a previous version of the CNN mobile app I had great local news sources from several local news agencies. Recently something changed and I get news feeds from a metropolitan area 350 miles away, and I don't really care about what's going on up there. Please bring back my local news? Is this an issue with the local news provider that CNN outsources?

It's Improved, But I...
By : The Sour Rutabaga  
It's pretty good for just reading news, but the TV/Video part isn't as good as it could be. And also... Ads should NOT be in a paid app. Especially a $2 app. Also, give it native iPad support, and it will be a 5 star app.
