Poorly executed, I'm sorry. I get more and better by simply watching cnn material on youtube. The opinion articles...just put them in their own category, buried and far away from everything else. No one wants six articles on the same piece of news for crying out loud. Also, if you live streamed cnn through the app, that'd be super efficient. No one wants to hunt through dozens of two to five minute videos that look like a hodge podge of funny home videos and cops outtakes.

I signed up with a promotion to test out the live streaming of the shows I watched with YouTube TV. Sometimes it works. Most of the time I get kicked out to the streaming service or CNN International. I won't be renewing if I can't consistently watch the shows like via the app.

CNN remains my top choice for breaking news and global coverage. Their app is fast, well-organized, and keeps me updated on major world events in real-time. I particularly appreciate the depth of their international reporting and the quality of their investigative journalism. The video clips load seamlessly, and the push notifications are timely without being overwhelming. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to stay informed!
