Tried to read a story and was told Id reached my free article limit. The limit t must be ZERO since I haven't tried to read a story in the app in many months. Its been bad with ads galore and links to products buy, but now they want me to subscribe to read their stories? No thanks. The same content is available elsewhere. Its a bait and switch app. Click on a headline and then told you have to be a subscriber. Remove the advertising and I'll use the app again.

The app has gone downhill since it became a pay wall. I want to read their news because it's great reporting, but I live in poverty and apparently can only read three free articles a month now. It's very depressing, but on the bright side I've found other apps that have remained free and have found myself using those apps more and more as time goes on. If I ever come into money, I don't think I'll be supporting CNN. I'll choose to support apps that are poverty-friendly to keep those going.

I've had to change my review. buyer beware: a little over a year ago they did something and I have not been able to get logged in since. I've tried numerous times to fix it. they continue to charge me even after it was reported to them. I've asked google for a refund and they cant/won't based on CNN policy. looks like I would have to change my entire financial set up just to prevent this recurring theft of what now is $32 a year.

I paid for a basic subscription. I is not worth the money. I thought it would include some of the types of articles I wanted to read. No. Every time I hit an article it offers me an upgrade opportunity. That is misleading. Can't differentiate between a basic article and a premium article until I choose. Just offer one paid version and be upfront. I bought the Reuters app and will continue to use it after CNN basic expires.

I appreciate I can get reliable news at any time without a subscription fee. However, the ads play before nearly every video clip and are so extremely repetitive it gets maddening. Also, when I accidentally get taken into the "Live" TV section, when the time runs out, I'm unable to get back to the site. I have to turn off my phone, then on again to get to any other CNN story or any other application.
