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!

Good headlines and revival type information

I like CBN news, and it is excellent news but it is basic entry level news as it is better to go to 700 Club to watch the entire show.

Poor privacy practices

I love CBN but their apps are very invasive. They collect sensitive information like your location, email address, identity and more for third parties. I can’t have this app because of these practices.

Articles never open for me

I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling as well as trying on WiFi and on data. The app is very glitchy.

Drop The AP Feed

Good platform and from the Christian heart with exception of the reliance on AP feeds for most ‘government’ updates (not editorials) out of Washington or elsewhere. If their leftist and often ‘write 500 words without actually reporting discernible facts’ approach isn’t obvious, their ever-sickening ‘style guide’ chocked full of ‘truth evading’ words, wordings and the like should be setting off alarms. Their is one Truth.

Language barrier issue

I really like this app, but please could you give the option to change language and have app be translated. I understand English well, but I have family that doesn’t and would love for them to be able to use app in Spanish.

Loved the app until updating to iOS 16

After updating iOS on phone 80-90% of the articles do not populate or show up now. I don’t believe there were any problems before updating to iOS 16. I have updated app and it has not resolved the issue.

Always use CBN New app

The app is good. I trust CBN. I find they report on things that I’m usually interested in. My only criticism is that some of the reports consist mostly of what people say back and for on their Twitter account, and that’s not good journalism. However, when they do report, I find it trustworthy and in line with my values.

Too far right…

A bit too far right for my comfort. I’m a Christian but more of centralist and little left for the sake of people.

No!

I liked this app and though I didn’t agree with every article, I thought the majority of writers were trying to state factual news from a Christian standpoint. Sadly, that is no longer the case. It is becoming just another main stream “news” source, spotlighting celebrities and presenting liberal viewpoints/opinions as news. I am giving 2 stars instead of zero because, at this time, they are at least still pro life and supportive of Christian values in that respect.
