Don’t bother
This used to be a helpful app. However, suddenly after a few “updates” ago, it stopped playing any of the videos or clips, although of course the ads play with no problem. I’ve updated the os several times and un/reinstalled the app several times across their updates, but the problem never resolved. This app isn’t worth your time - there are others that get you basically the same information but reliably.

Videos do not play
Can’t get the video clips to play back. Shows 0.000 minutes available.
Terrible
The video only plays in the corner. When I tap for full screen, it shuts off completely and is a black screen, no sound. It worked fine before the “upgrade.”

Works perfectly! Love it!
Works flawlessly! I love that the app will use minimized view so I can look at/do other things. Very pleased!
Ads
Adding ads is bad news. First they are repetitive and repeats every time you change to a new program. Isn’t there someplace we can go and not see ads all the time. What’s next a “paid” version. I thought C-Span was supposed to be paid for by cable providers?
C-SPAN Now Playing Uncontested Lies
Tonight I clicked on the clip of Levitt’s lie that certain parties told US military and intelligence personnel that they should disobey legal orders. There was no reference to the actual video in question, there was no response from the members of the press to whom Levitt was speaking. What is the point of C-SPAN: purveying truth or fiction?

iPhone Only Screensize
This app is a disappointment. It only shows an iPhone screensize. It needs to be updated with a version that can detect the larger screensize of an iPad and adjust to it.
No option to navigate
11/12/2025
There is not a to navigate within the app. Right now it is stuck on the senate proceedings from November 9, 2025.
There appears to be no way to close this and to see what the house of reps. are doing.
So-o-o frustrating!!
Please look into this so there is a broader range of choices.
Thank you!

No Way to Search for Programs?
If there is a way to search for a previously broadcast program, I can’t find it.
Still the best!
I have been a fan of C-Span for long time, it is so great that we can watch C-Span on C-Span Now. Perfect!
Freezing
This app freezes on the last watched video. Cannot fix on iPhone unless I restart phone
Stuck
Can’t close one video and open another.

Fake as* news media sure would like to hear more on the treasonous actions of the Democrats and how media is covering it up
Need Apple TV App
This is awesome, but needs complimentary app in Apple TV. YouTube TV doesn’t carry channel and is my provider. More people now get their TV service through such services and not Cable or Satellite Companies. Please offer your coverage to newer technology providers (internet tv providers - eg Youtube TV, Hulu, etc.)

Dark Mode
Both the UI and Icon need an update for automatic system wide dark mode.
Crashes Immediately
This app will not stay up, it crashes immediately. The last update DID NOT FIX THIS. Please make it work on iOS. 5/22/25
Needs cable login
The C-SPAN radio app prodded me into installing this app; however, looking for simple replays of today’s sessions required a cable provider login. I understand the contractual restrictions with cable providers, but there needs to be a more innovative approach, especially for something that watches our own government and receives public funding. Maybe 10% of my acquaintances even subscribe to cable with the advent of streaming. Cable-only networks like FNC, CSPAN, and MSNBC will need to find a more innovative approach to reach the majority of America.

Response from developer
I have good news for you - the majority of the programming on the C-SPAN Now app does not need a cable login! Any of the video on the main "Watch" page - which includes coverage of all major political and government events - is available to watch for free for any user. Tens of millions of households still have cable and those subscriber fees are where the majority of C-SPAN's funding comes from. Our generous cable and satellite partners have allowed us to put the biggest events of the day on our app for free, so you should have no problem watching anything on the "Watch" page thanks to them. The only part of the app that requires a cable login is on the "TV" tab where you would be watching a live stream of one of our three networks.
