CNN worked fine until this last update around August 30 2023.It never accepted it and then would not open.I have an iPad and I deleted the app and reinstated to no avail.I have been trying for the last two days to open and it gets 3/4 of the way there and then stops.I love CNN and sent note to APP technical support but heard nothing back.I guess it is BYE…BYE …CNN.

After reading news articles on the CNN app on my iPhone, when I click the home button, it doesn’t take me back to the first article again.

The cnn home button does nothing now. It used to bring up the top news.

During the last few weeks the CNN app crashes when I try to open it on my iPad Pro. I’ve rebooted my iPad and deleted the app and reinstalled it. I also have the most recent update from Apple.

My original cell phone damaged, received new one. CNN did not carry over. I deleted it and tried to start over. It will not download from App Store at all. What to do?

CNN app on AppleTV 4k isn't working. First the subtitles come on every time you start the app. They never stay off even after you turn them off. You open it again and they're back. And the last 2 days since their update...the screen goes black but you can hear audio. Fix this or I'm switching networks. Great way to reduce your viewership.

CNN app won’t open on my new iPad Pro 5th generation. The icon for the app pops up and then disappears. Help!

I was at home all day and did not even look at cnn but the app used 80% of my mobile data. On average I use about 3% in total. Last week I got a notification that the app was using extreme amounts of power.

My CNN app is not working on my IPad. I have a new 12.9 IPad Pro. I tried deleting the old app and installing a new one but that did not work either. Please inform. I really like the CNN app and do not want to switch news channels.

My CNN iPhone (13) app was working fine until a week ago - EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING that is continually signals that I'm 'not authorized to view this content. Please contact your TV provider for further assistance" — WHICH I DID AND THEY SAY IT'S CNN's PROBLEM, NOT THEIRS. I am able to access CNN live TV on my desktop and laptop, which doesn't help much when I'm on the road. I've tried everything — deleting and reinstalling the app, restarting my iPhone....WASSUP YOU GUYS? I'm about ready to quite watching CNN altogether!

Ipad response is extremely slow - especially finger movement. I don't have this issue with Huffington or any other app. What's up??

By Stephen Richter   1 year ago


I have 2gig fiber to my home, all devices ( iOS, windows, LG Tv & Fire TV with all apps work perfect except CNN + app. The old CNNGO APP ALSO WORKED PERFECTLY. The day CNN + replaced on my FireTv I’ve had continually crashes all the way out of the app as well as crashes to error screens. Sometimes minutes apart but almost always under 57 minutes. This app CNN+ (NEVER happened on CNNGO) on the FireTv platform has any problem at all!! I have uninstalled & reinstalled app twice with no noticeable improvement or change! HELP!

By Bill Bryce   1 year ago


App is always jumpy, is slow to follow finger commands ie winds up between two stories. Very annoying so hope you can fix. Thanks, Bill

More than half the time CNN just won't load content. I get a white screen w/CNN logo on top and nothing else till message saying app will not load . Tried uninstalling, power off/on, cache dumping, VPN off/on ....no difference. Samsung s20 FE /Android, all updates applied. CNN is the only app on phone doing this.
