CBC News Customer Insights

1. The reason for the 2 stars is the one sided reporting, pushing a bias that most Canadians disagree with and their unwillingness to report on the current government I was a long time CBC follower and While I still read the articles, its more habit than for any worthy news content.This app blows your phone up with quite irrelevant or unnecessary stories listed as "Breaking News." 85% dont belong in this category, and washes out the quality of actual important news delivery.

2. I really just wanted alerts for critical breaking news in real time, such as earthquakes, terrorist events etc.

3. Unfortunately "breaking news" seems to include a lot of irrelevant stuff.Video Ads... 30 seconds long... I am not watching those.

4. I use several news apps and this is the only one with this problem.The editor often places stories as national/international that are local in nature.

5. I have read CBC News stories for many years and have appreciated it for staying up to date.

6. Often, there is a considerable delay before breaking news receives any coverage.EXTREMELY USER-UNFRIENDLY today when asking me to review.

7. I ended up copying the title of the news item and using Google Chrome to read it.

8. Also find you get a very small selection of news stories that go on repeat.

9. Breaking News should be for important and serious events.

10. I avoid "the news" in general & in principle disagree with the up to the minute concept.

11. I'll find my news elsewhere and your content on YouTube instead.Great app.
