Before the recent update I would have rated 5 stars. I loved this app. After the update the home screen widget is ugly and difficult to read. The font for the headlines is uncomfortably small and the pics for the stories are so small as to make them useless. Luckily when you click into the app it is still done properly.
Weldon Young
2020-10-21T03:07:34.990Z
Thank you. The list of stories can once again appear as a single list within a category. JUST MAKE SURE YOU ACTIVATE THE "COMPACT LAYOUT" option as well, as only 2 stories will appear on your sceen at one time because each would otherwise have an extra large photo.

How nice to have Canadian and international news delivered in a straightforward, well organized way, without obnoxious adds and pop-ups. Also appreciate being able to save content for off-line reading. Well done and thank you CBC.

Often I get a news story notification that when clicked, doesn't lead to the news story. Annoying. Second, there is no commenting on stories so it's boring and doesn't hold my attention. Rather use Flipboard.

Ads are far too voluminous, slow down the app contents to load. Pop up video apps not always have the option to skip after some seconds. You really have to go through this, you even cannot end it by closing the whole app. Completely blocked.

Comprehensively Perfect . Refreshes news rapidly .Provides information far more quickly and connects to links faster than expected . The style of news writing with adequate details that are relevant makes reader / subscriber additive to look just for every news at CBS Only!

I do not like being asked to rate an app. This app continually asks me to provide a reading, so the only way to get rid of that I'm assuming is to do a rating. Thus this rating. Generally the app works well.

Easy to use. News is accurately reported and cutting edge research has been brought into the equation for successful results.

Please get rid of the new side-by-side, staggered display of articles at the top level, or at least make it optional to chose the simpler form there used to be. This new display format is cluttered, adds no value to browsing through available articles and is likely to annoy and put off more readers than those who 'need' such a visual mess. Find something useful to do. Not all changes are good Donkey! A Long-time (at least used to be) Reader

It is essential to have the balanced and intelligent reporting that private broadcasters seem unable to provide.
Patrick Jones
2020-10-07T23:08:44.671Z
2020-10-07: the latest update now has a front page I find very cluttered, which makes me NOT want to read the articles. Articles also appear to now have an even (slightly) smaller font size than the previous smaller font, and CAN'T be adjusted, making it harder for me to read. The result is that I don't use this app any more. I now use The Guardian for international news, and local papers for local/provincial news. The CBC have made themselves IRRELEVANT for my news consumption.

Great app. No issues. The first news app that I open every morning.

I'm American, but I find that CBC often has better news coverage, especially of international news.

2020-10-08T11:31:45.219Z
Just not enough variety, it's all one sided alot of the time. And just doesn't have the Canadian feel anymore of being neutral. And plus this is Canadian news, so why not put out some pro Canada news. Not pro foreign countries, what happened to news you can't find anywhere else. Yes talking about something like the vice President debate is important, but you ain't US news, your Canadian! When I get on in the morning I expect to hear about Canada. Canada is not the US, retake your Canadian soul!

You know, the app is actually mostly fine. It works, and the journalism is as good as any you will get in Canada. HOWEVER, I find the obnoxious and excessive advertising to be a huge turn off. Considering that the CBC is probably the most well funded news organization in the country given it's publicly funded status, the fact that it rewards us with advertisements longer than a short video clip feels exploitative and disrespectful of the Canadian taxpayers. Somehow YouTube is the better choice.
Patrick Bujold
2020-10-25T21:44:47.388Z
Works well except ads get in the way making it easy to accidentally click them.
Kelly Doty
2020-08-14T17:56:18.447Z
So far so good. The app hasn't crashed yet, the ads are obnoxious but are the cost of the world now. I am glad to be able to get news again from over the border, I grew up with tv from Canada (near the border, back in the days of cable or rabbit-ear antennas), which always added a new perspective to the U.S. version of events.
Brendan Wheaton

I have the app pushing notifications for stories which is good, but when I open them to read it I have around a 15% chance of getting the article. Most of the time it's just a white screen on the app and I have to go search for it on my own. That's a pretty glaring issue for a news app and one I don't have with any other application on my phone.
Kenneth Gourlay
2020-08-21T13:39:13.490Z
Love CBC, our public broadcaster. Hate the fact that they have to advertise in order to do their job. The app handles ads horribly. You're forced to sit through the ad and if you do decide to go to the site being advertised, when you get back you are forced to sit through it again. Worse, if you see a "live stream" you want to watch, but are not aware that it is over, you have to sit through the ads before you find out. Awful.
Ron Mandryk
2020-08-24T02:29:15.623Z
The CBC has always a good source for the news. I have no complaints about the CBC but I do have one I wish they could give me more video reports then reading them. You have good commentators let them do their job. I find it more satisfying to hear the words then just to read then. I don't know that makes any sense to you but it does to me. Thank you for letting me speak my mind. And keep up the good work CBC.
Simon Rickards
2020-08-23T22:47:58.871Z
Please remove the videos. By having a 30 second advert in front of a short two minute clip, indicates that you don't want anyone to watch them in the first place. Also, the video player takes over the entire front of my phone so I can't switch apps or go to the desktop without turning my phone's screen off and then hitting the required button within the 2 second interval that shows these when the phone is turned on again. I want to like this app, but the CBC needs to do better.
bryan dollack
2020-08-21T12:32:09.896Z
Updated to 2 stars. Plays video ads without warning, often redirects to website for articles. When there are then presented with option to "open in app"!? Amateur stuff. If it wasn't for the quality reporting I would uninstall. Older: Reporting is decent, but can't zoom in on the tiny photos and often have to watch 30 sec of ads to watch a 20 sec clip. Even with location services on it keeps thinking the local coverage I want is from Ottawa... 400+ km away.
A Google user
2020-08-24T13:51:04.545Z
The app now frequently plays video ads with sound when clicking on written stories. Not cool. Written stories should get static ads and certainly no disruptive sound. Video ads provide no way to mute, pause or back out. This is rude, disrespectful and inappropriate. I now hit the kill button right away and restart the app *every time*.
A Google user
2020-09-09T21:39:21.220Z
Was fast and fairly stable, but autopay video has made it a buggy data hog. Doesn't handle poor Internet connections well. Inconsistent when your device sleeps while reading an article. You may go back to it, or be taken to the homepage. The app is hindered by editorial choices. Many articles pop you out of the app to a browser.
Lars Horner
2020-10-15T17:34:43.891Z
The app is fine and works ok. However when I tap a new notification I am taken to a blank page with a loading spinner and the article never loads. If I wait an hour or so the notification links work most of the time. This is super annoying and needs to be fixed.
Brent Hewitt
2020-10-23T11:49:30.183Z
Excellent. Easy to navigate, unbiased, honest, informed. CBC has done it again.
Steve Waldman
2020-10-21T15:20:14.414Z
The font on the widget is too tiny to be legible after the update.
Cameron Hall
2020-10-05T15:34:05.351Z
Would be 5 star rating. Reasons for 1 star. 1) sorting of saved stories reversed and NOT noted in changelog. 2) increasing use of video stories does massive disservice to disabled and rural users. No CC and hard to see video. Rural users have little bandwidth. Addition of selectable dark theme would have gained you two more stars but faults noted above undid that. CBC, you can do much better. Otherwise, excellent app.
Anne N
2020-10-05T11:36:07.556Z
Okay but would prefer more international news up front rather than scrolling past minor Cdn stuff to find it. BBC and the Guardian are my first go-to to get World News. Then I come back to CBC for Cdn stuff Maybe there is a different look if your IP address is outside of Canada.

I love the app but find i have to remove and ad the widget frequently as it stops updating.

It's Great to have Timely, Accurate Canadian and International news, whenever I want it. I think the reporting is Fair and Balanced. I appreciate the format, it allows me to find out how the story has developed and easily find related stories. It just keeps getting better!
Nicola Marr
2020-09-30T13:32:25.297Z
I love the CBC. I'm a huge fan of the honest, reliable and reasonable news they offer. I HATE that every single video clip requires that I watch three advertisements. I'm forced to use limited data to watch ad for American companies on this Canadian platform. Therefore I give the content five stars but the app only two.
Robert Kelly
2020-09-25T12:15:12.766Z
I open an article in the app. The app tells me that I should open the article in the app. I click on the button offered and it wants me to install the very app that I am at that moment using. This is absolutely ridiculous. I am a huge supporter of the CBC, but, guys, you are making it much harder for those of us who support you with such unnecessary annoyance.
Marg P
2020-09-07T22:38:51.981Z
This app gives me up to date news & information which I like!! Also the fact that the stories are updated regularly is an additional attribute!! Too bad it can't be free all the time! However I may consider subscribing when the time comes!!? Keep up the good work!!😊😊
jem morrison
2020-09-03T05:03:38.264Z
To be perfectly honest, I love CBC. The reason it's getting 3 stars is that the autoplay video advertisements where you have to watch the advert is really starting to annoy me. Maybe if they were different ads, but the same as over and over is annoying af.
Vicki Fasciano
2020-09-25T20:50:18.408Z
I'm sent a notification about "breaking news", open the notification and it takes me to the app itself but never the article. Many times I can't even find the article I was notified about (which was the intention).
Wendell Neubeker
2020-08-15T20:39:34.112Z
Nice way to see Canadian news. Mobile layout is easy to navigate. Sometimes when switching from other apps the app will refresh and I will lose the story I was on and have to try to find it again. That's my only issue with the app so far.
Anne-Michelle Martin
2020-10-06T13:42:29.418Z
Since the latest update, I'm not able to access any of my saved articles. I click on the "saved" tab & the screen goes white & eventually freezes. It was working fine until last week's update - please fix this!!
Kevin Wilson
2020-08-16T00:33:59.666Z
I opted out of breaking news alerts because there are some "trigger happy" individuals there that call menial things "breaking news". I'm never realy sure what the top story is or the most recent. Covid news is important but it always shows as the page header. I'd rather it be a "button" to click on.
Jamie Munro
2020-10-10T20:06:41.359Z
The app has an annoying feature. When you tap on a notification the app launches to a blank display that spins and spins and nothing happens. Then you can't find the story that the notification was referencing.
Elias Loisos
2020-08-26T16:56:25.579Z
Would give it 5 stars it it wasn't for the videos, it's always buggy and you are forced through adverts. The advertisement alone is one thing but having it loop over because it doesn't work properly gets annoying. Other than that it's a solid app
Tia vom Scheidt
2020-08-24T18:04:01.647Z
Usually love this app for local and international news, but the ads last few months are constant. Pop ads you can't click away and unprompted video ads are the WORST. There are also more ads once you actually reach the article. Clunky and not user friendly.
Kevin Price
2020-08-22T19:39:05.699Z
Long video ads that you cant skip after 5 seconds or even go back to the main story list from. Only recourse is to close the app and open it again or you are stuck watching the ad for a long time. Soon it will be close the app and uninstall.
Mere LaRocque
2020-08-23T02:38:25.714Z
I read it everyday. It would be great to see articles linked to CBC radio and TV programs as well to give an excellent cross view of subjects. Maybe this already happens? Citing programs would be excellent in order to check out the other sources.
Chris Welch
2020-08-25T13:34:48.732Z
Now runs unstoppable video ads. I don't mind ads if I can skip over them but app now forces you to watch inane videos with now way to skip or close. Have to close and reopen app to skip over add. Have removed ap and back to reading on web. Very sad it used to be an awesome app.
Paul Shinkle
2020-09-12T14:28:58.917Z
Decent reporting. Poor editing; stories often linger for a long time. Obtrusive ads every single swipe up, and the same ad over and again for months. I appreciate and want a Canadian news perspective. Take some lessons from BBC and Guardian on formatting.
Phil Moruzi
2020-10-16T14:03:11.177Z
The National is ridiculously ad heavy. 12 or 13 ads grouped together every 5 mins or so. Worse than watching it on television. Update 10-16-20: Big difference now. Ads in clusters of 3. Very reasonable.
S Vatcha
2020-10-20T12:32:01.646Z
Don't like this new double column format - it's too busy, my eyes don't know where to look. I prefer BBC News' format and have switched to reading them first.
Frantz Joassin
2020-08-27T13:02:03.796Z
Good app overall. One annoying thing is when I tap on a news story/article notification that I want to read more about, the app does not open up directly on that piece but instead on the timeline interface where I have to scroll and find it.
Barrington Morrison
2020-09-16T02:20:10.981Z
The CBC continues to meet and exceed the standards of journalistic integrity. As a regular consumer of the audio and visual presentation of the CBC's local and international news I am always impressed with the granular details of the investigative reporting and debates..
A Google user
2020-10-12T13:37:57.406Z
Free news with credible journalism is how inwould describe this app. Perhaps a little too left leaning but not over the top. If they could ever become more center that would be ideal.
Harvey Koffman
2020-08-24T15:12:57.898Z
Just about ready to dump this app. While I like Will Arnett, I'm getting awfully tired of having him pop up to flog phones before I get to read an article. It's noisy and disruptive, and just one more move an underfunded CBC has made to make itself less important to me.
Tyson Belliveau
2020-10-16T13:57:50.926Z
Notifications are broken. Whenever I open a story from a notification, the app opens to the main page, not the story I was notified of.
Sir Willard
2020-08-31T18:12:23.142Z
Notifications are not limited to interest areas selected and are repetitive thru the day. When sharing news stories, app doesn't put title in message subject line nor allow copying title to paste as subject. Their website is easier and more convenient to use.
Lori Lang
2020-08-22T15:44:21.434Z
Started using this app this week. I have avoided the news for years for several reasons, one being the perceived biases on 99% of news stories. CBC seems to present the facts and then opinions, leaving it to their audience to form their own opinions.
Cynthia Lake
2020-08-30T04:36:41.760Z
Just about ready to dump this app. Video ads now block ability to back out, so my phone is held hostage for the entire duration of the ad. Uncool. Also way too much American content in Top Stories.
John Wright
2020-10-18T11:11:36.366Z
Edit....Now it just doesn't work. Uninstalled. Ads, Ads, Ads. Three ads before showing a news clip....and they claim to be a public broadcaster. I'm uninstalling again.
Adrian Leyds
2020-10-04T11:11:22.438Z
scrolling issues - unable to read entire story - returns to top automatically. Has been like this since I installed the app more than 6 months ago. Ultimately I cannot read an entire story because of this issue which renders the app useless

Updated app now freezes when full page ad gets displayed, which happens when you Try to open the second article you wish to read. Full page ads are annoying as it is, even more so when they freeze up.

When a story headline pops up and I click on it, it doesnt take me directly to the story, it just takes me to the app general where I then have to search for the article I wanted to see.

Clean, clear, concise. Actual news content plus some editorial items. Ads are low key and there's no decorations or animations to speak of. Well done.
Tony Chau
2020-08-21T16:53:24.415Z
Recent updates seem to force ads when opening news articles. This fine and expected however, there should be an option to turn off sound. It should not override the device's main setting turning off sound.
Brandon
2020-08-13T15:56:09.535Z
Broken app. I didn't have the app installed, but the "instant app" version kept opening when I was trying to open a news story link, and every time the instant app opened it never went to the story I had clicked a link for, it just went to the home page of the app. Useless.
Will Ashley
2020-09-25T23:31:36.371Z
The layout is not as good as some other news apps, like the Guardian. CBC seems to need a photo for every article like it's a kids book. However, it seems to be one of the best news sources in Canada.
A Google user
2020-09-18T02:27:10.961Z
CBC is so far up Justin Trudeau that his tonsils falling out his mouth. This app perpetuates the government funded mediocrity that has seen CBC lose all major sports and any semblance of a decent news and entertainment format. Makes me wish Canada would open up more of its broadcast channels to the world, or is CBC the best Canada can do?

Unable to cast The National to TV using Chromecast. Displays "Live stream is coming up", even though the broadcast has started and can be viewed in the app without Chromecast.

I like the cbc news but I have vision problems, so this app does not allow me to magnify the text. I have to use a magnify glass.
Neddy Seagoon
2020-09-24T00:46:23.726Z
Honestly, the app is a little shaky with videos. They also seem to scrape your data and punt out articles that they think you will 'click' on, rather than put together good and relevant, truthful news.
Livia Power

Always find the news I'm looking for as well as being able to watch the National.

When you get headline alerts and then click the link it opens the app but almost never takes you to the story. Instead you have to scroll and scroll until you forget the headline that took you there in the first place!

The app works fine, but the content isn't that great. CBC's quality of journalism has deteriorated over the years.

Hangs all of the time and doesn't allow swiping to move to new articles. BBC app has the functionality that this app needs.

Works better than expected for tax dollars. Information is EXTREMELY BIAS boardering on propaganda, but is to be expected from a governmently funded organization. An example is an article written about Maxime Bernier. It stated his claims were false, however there where no data points to refute his claims, though the information Bernier provided was sourced. Great strawman, but not reporting. Get your news from multiple sources and form your own opinions. Needs comment sections for articles.

Good news articles, but the bright red banner at the top with the cbc title is annoying and pains my eyes to look at. If CBC could please make the colour scheme blue, like on their TV show, it would be much more calming.

The ads can be annoying, popping up in the middle of an article but enjoy been able to get the breaking news.

Information shared is precise, yet cannot give 5* since information is unfortunately slow shared, ie site isn't updated when compared to other news sites and news apps.

Like cbc news. Don't like that I have to look for the national. Should be a matter of pride and have it "BOOM", right there. Also. Why no 24 hr news service on this app? Your a federally funded and rescued agency. Why do we not get the news service free on here? I feel ...un-valuable.

Truly awful app. It's unacceptable that a crown Corp that gets funding from the feds is jamming video ads down our throats before letting us read the articles. Not to mention that you can't skip the ads. No other media company in the private sector is doing this, and they don't get funding.

Hate the fact that opening a news item can result in an unexpected full screen video ad. I know advertisements are necessary, but keep them to simple ads imbeded as objects within the news item.

When you want to watch a Live video as The Throne Speech, there is always a commercial video before. On the CTV App there is none. Thanks

This app and its ads have become increasingly annoying, especially the video ads that can't be stopped. I will be looking for a different source of news

Basic, but calls EVERYTHING breaking news....except for some of the new and important stuff. Clicking on notification goes to the full site, not the story you were notified about.

I was quietly READING the news (not watching the news) when a loud VIDEO advertisement popped up and I couldn't stop it playing. Which idiot at CBC thinks video ads should be played while people are reading?

good site, but being this is a GOC information line, and funded by the Canadian population, I find the use of silly advertising to be annoying, and totally unnecessary.

Read in the app? Articles keep jumping out to a browser version then ask 'Read in the app?'. Otherwise decent content.

The CBC is biased trash that claims to be the most nonpartisan news source in Canada. What a load of b.s. I wish they had the balls to accept comments on their stories so the people could call them out on the garbage they post on this app.
