Love you

I love you guys. I only wish you posted more articles during the week to balance out taking a break for the Sabbath. I started watching you guys when I started to distrust the MSM, and since I love my faith more than anything, you guys helped me combine the news with perspectives from people who think like me! Praise the Lord our God!

Rarely reported stories

My favorite aspect of CBN news is that you report events and incidents that don’t appear anywhere else! My least favorite aspect is how difficult it is to get back to the list of stories. I have to punch the back button several times before the app realizes “Oh! You want to go back? Um, let me think about it. Okay, if you must!” And from reading the other reviews I realize that the times when the reports don’t get updated must be on the weekends. The staff must be attending their children’s sports events or reading their Sunday School lessons for Sunday. Severe weather events better not hit on weekends because they won’t get reported immediately. That said, this is my favorite news app. I like the option to read the news rather than listen to it or watch it. Please keep up the good work and consider updating it more frequently.

Great content but needs some maintenance

Things like functionality of the Pray Now button could use some tuning up. Overall, wonderful content. Great job!

Covid sellout

I really enjoyed 700 Club for many years but since you started pushing people to take the dangerous unproven vaccine I’m out. How much money did the Corporate/Government world give you to push the harmful jab?. Do you know how many children have been harmed or killed or pregnant women, teens with myocarditis suffer because of your thoughtless efforts. I’ve heard no apologies from CBN. Will not watch again til you sincerely search your hearts and apologize. P.S. Wendy has no medical knowledge worth sharing.

True News

It’s finally good to see true news. They try distracting you with fake news to make you confused and focus on that instead of God. I am also happy to see you guys as a non profit. I am so happy you made this app so now I can see true news. It is also amazing to see you are brothers and sisters in Christ! And continue to spread the truth and spread Gods word. And keep up the news and keep posting! It would be cool if you posted some end time prophecies that are happening right now. Keep up the good work and God Bless!
