When I get to the article, the screen stops and goes as I slide down. Very frustrating to the point that I. Kw avoid the app for getting my Cdn news and sports information. ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing *2021-11-04, version 6.0.3* Used to love this app but it always crashes now. ### 1/5 — Can’t they fix this? *2021-10-28, version 6.0.3* The app was fine then one day it wouldn’t work at all. I didn’t delete it, and after a couple weeks an update came along. Now I can see the stories but most often they freeze and I have to get out of the app and restart it. It will do this repeatedly. I can’t give any stars. ### 1/5 — Glitching *2021-10-28, version 6.0.3* I used to love this news app but since the most recent update I haven’t been able to scroll through the article without it crashing or getting stuck. I’ve tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it to see if that would fix it, but nope. it’s absolute garbage now And yes I’m running the most recent and up to date version of IOS No excuses - fix it ### 1/5 — You just can’t seem to get it right *2021-10-17, version 6.0.3* I used to love this app for getting quick news updates but it never seems to work very well for long. Lately it won’t load stories and when it does, they are slow to respond to scrolling and they freeze altogether. Why you guys can’t get this done properly is beyond me. ### 1/5 — Not acceptable speed since Oct 2021 *2021-10-16, version 6.0.3* Oct 2021 iPhone 8+. Latest iOS. App will show articles but almost impossible to read one and scroll through it, it’s slow and takes many seconds before reacting to slide movements. Most other news softwares are ok. ### 1/5 — Freezing *2021-10-15, version 6.0.3* Since iOS 15 update the app freezes. Please fix. I like this app and would like to continue to use it. ### 1/5 — Latest update freezes *2021-10-10, version 6.0.3* C’mon developers! Easy testing before deployment. Why make it available only to create other issues. And where’s night mode? The articles we select to read have a white bacgriuvd. Why loose this feature? Previous version was perfectly fine and stable! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-03-15, version 6.0.1* New version crashes and reboots my iPhone 6s Useless app now ### 1/5 — Black screen since update *2021-03-06, version 6.0.1* It’s been 2 weeks after new update and still no fix of the black screen when clicking the articles. I have been using this app daily for years and to see this makes the whole app unusable. So what’s up Canoe?! ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-03-03, version 6.0* Since last release unable to use ### 1/5 — Phone crashes after update *2021-03-03, version 6.0* The most recent update doesn’t work and crashes my phone. Developer needs to fix this, app is unusable! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New update *2025-07-05* Totally ruined the app with the new update. Don’t understand why this was done. ### 1/5 — News is gone: only ads now *2025-01-27* I have regularly visited Canoe for over 20 years. The news is now gone. Just ads now.

If it doesn’t work goodbye canoe ### 1/5 — Trouble *2022-02-02* App seems to freeze and have issues loading ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2022-01-24* Almost every story clicked on ends in a blank screen. Might be able to read one maybe two if your lucky. Constantly acting up. Very poor tech support considering all the poor reviews. ### 1/5 — Total crap *2022-01-17* This app used to be informative in giving up to date news. It has somehow morphed into total junk. Please fix it or get out of the game. One star is too much. ### 1/5 — Application freezing *2022-01-05* The last year when in the application it freezes when I scroll to the point I just close it, I was hoping their would be an update to fix this issue. This happens on an iPhone ### 1/5 — Locks up *2021-12-20* This app constantly locks up while using…..extremely frustrating ### 1/5 — Sloooow *2021-12-07* What’s going up with this app it got very bad ( slow and crashes) 3 weeks ago and yesterday they made it even worse. can’t open any news anymore. Time to delete it ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-03-20* Great app with Canadian news and interest stories. Let the North stand strong. No problems mentioned below just free stories from a Canadian perspective, Gotta love it! ### 5/5 — Broken *2021-02-22* This app has been my only daily news for 5 years since I dumped cable and satellite. I stream everything I watch. Canoe is my only link to real world news I enjoy and trust, could you please fix your app. ### 5/5 — Canoe.ca *2012-04-08* Great App just wish it were compatible with the ipad ### 5/5 — Very Comprehensive News Source *2010-01-10* Easy to navigate and it's constantly updated. ### 4/5 — Updated app *2025-09-19* Lots of ads on page but otherwise no issues as previous reviews suggest. Great Canadian content without paywall. ### 3/5 — Good Foundation *2010-01-02* This is a good foundation news program for Canada. Here's some requests for the future. 1. Include in the preferences news sources for the Canadian Press and 24H. 2. What I found strange was going through the news stories and they were mostly written by the AP, not Sun Media or the Canadian Press. If your a Canadian company, shouldn't you promote stories written by and for Canadians? 3. Please add video. Your 24H website has wonderful media that should be available through the app. 4. One the main cnews website on canoe, in the Across Canada section you have tickers devoted towards different regions. Please offer these options for the app. Thanks again for creating this app. Can't wait for upcoming versions. ### 2/5 — App keeps crashing *2023-11-15* Same as all other complaints , App never loads up, This app use to work/ update news articles flawlessly.. but now it never updates and or freezes. ### 2/5 — Unstable. *2012-09-10* Program crashes regularly. ### 2/5 — Use to like it *2010-11-08* I used to like this app. Sometimes I just could find time to hit their page and this helped me keep in touch with home. The main thing I liked was keeping up with favorite columnists -- news I ca get elsewhere. Now this latest update has made them disappear and I don't see a place to add them back. I'll keep the app a while but delete if that doesn't change SOON. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
