Now with the app I have the news I need in my pocket. No left, no right, no direction whatsoever! Just the way I need it to be. News that doesn’t pulling me round! With the segments like ChedHER brought to us by chase bank, they still keep it fresh without feeding me an agenda! My go to news source. If it’s not on cheddar news I don’t need to know about it. One star removed because the app doesn’t have a dedicated “word of the day,” section. Which is what made me a cheddar head in the first place. ### 2/5 — I thought this was an innovative news service? *2022-03-25, version 6.0.9* They don’t even have landscape mode for iPad. Do they not know how many people use iPads with keyboard in the world? Just silly. Take a look at the Yahoo Finance or Bloomberg app. Yep, they have have landscape mode for iPad. ### 4/5 — Picture in Picture Support Needed *2021-02-08, version 5.5.7* Please include Picture in Picture support so we can continue to watch Cheddar while on Reddit and Twitter. As of now you lose the viewer when we decide to go to Reddit or Twitter. **Developer response:** You asked for it. You got it! Cheddar News now supports PiP! ### 4/5 — Just one thing please: *2020-09-22, version 5.5.4* Can you please add airplay or chrome cast support. 🙂 ### 4/5 — Cheddar Fan *2020-02-21, version 5.3.5* Please fix the login issues within the app. Cannot log into tv provider or make an account. App completely crashes or gives an error message. ### 3/5 — Good news but let me subscribe! *2020-01-23, version 5.3.5* As a journalism major in College I really love Cheddar news and I want to subscribe but every time I hit the subscribe button it crashes can you guys please fix this?! ### 2/5 — Login *2020-01-15, version 5.3.5* Login with provider doesn’t work. Unable to even enter credentials ### 2/5 — Not actually working on Chromecast *2020-01-14, version 5.3.5* You can choose a Chromecast and it will say it's connected but it won't actually show the content on any Chromecast device. ### 2/5 — Will not let me subscribe *2019-12-04, version 5.3.5* I went through the trial and decided to start a Cheddar news subscription but every time I hit subscribe on the video player or within my profile settings the app just closes. I don’t have tv service just WiFi and cheddar has been my only source of news. I want to pay you guys but this app just won’t let me. ### 3/5 — What the point of the app? *2019-08-09, version 5.2.0* Why make an iPad app if there is less functionality than the web version? I cant use the app in landscape, no picture-in-picture, and no multitasking at all. ### 3/5 — Log-in Issues *2019-02-04, version 5.1.1* So, I like the app but I’m having some minor issues. When I’m trying to log-in with my Cheddar account, it won’t let me, it says something like “file” can’t be found or whatever. Please fix this. It’s the only thing that’s stopping me from giving it 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Disappointed by political slant *2018-06-12, version 4.8.0* Maybe we have to give up news not having a political bias, but I was hopeful that Cheddar would at least try. But it seems rather than focus on business news they have hopped on the Fox, MSNBC, CNN etc. bandwagon of nearly complete editorializing the news. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect functionality *2018-04-26, version 4.7.1* The app does need to be better optimized but it really needs chromecast support so I can play it on my tv rather my small phone! Please ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App keeps booting me out of articles *2023-03-13* When I click on an article to read it, the app automatically closes the article after about 10 seconds and I’m at the home page. I’ve tried it with at least 5 articles and every single one does this. ### 1/5 — News *2020-12-19, version 5.5.4* Way too liberal for me. It only took 6 counties to swing the election and all 6 used Dominion Machines. Yet all I can find is lies about Trump still looking for widespread fraud. Report all the news not just your left wing crap like everyone else but NewsMax. ### 1/5 — Please fix app on Apple TV *2020-09-01, version 5.5.4* I love cheddar news but it would open on Apple TV. Please fix! ### 1/5 — What’s the point? *2020-04-10, version 5.4.1* PLUTO TV plays CHEDDAR for free. JS.. ### 1/5 — Unable To Login With Optimum Subscription *2020-01-10, version 5.3.5* can’t login via app on iphone nor appleTV. really disappointing. ### 1/5 — Crashes Frequently *2020-01-03, version 5.3.5* I try to log in to watch via iPad & maintain my subscription/connect my Hulu account. The application is too unstable which is a shame. Good idea bad; bad execution. ### 1/5 — NO CLOSED CAPTIONING *2019-08-14, version 5.2.0* I’m Deaf and unable to watch news from this app due to no Closed Captioning available. ### 1/5 — Slow slow slow *2018-09-26, version 5.0.0* Loads to slowly to be useable ### 1/5 — Great service but app is garbage. *2018-08-30, version 4.8.1* App has very limited functionality. Would be great if there were search filters and access to on-demand content. ### 1/5 — I did like cheddar ???? *2018-07-20, version 4.8.0* I was skeptical when I had to pay, but after watching for the first time I was hooked. Well worth my money in my opinion. Until recently, I am starting to think about deleting this app. It went 4rm great videos & news feeds. To cartoons! Everytime I sign on its cartoons. I rather watch news feed & interview reruns than the overly cheesy cartoon being played all the time. I bought the cheddar app, not the Disney app. Please change this Cheddar! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love love love it!! *2022-02-10, version 6.0.9* Who knew news could so entertaining and informative!! I love Cheddar News, I watch it every morning. I only wish there was live content all the time. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-01-29, version 6.0.9* Best news station on a great app! ### 5/5 — Best news station and app *2021-11-17, version 6.0.9* This is real comprehensive news none of that CNN or Fox crap, no opinions or agenda just gimmie the news. They aren’t pretentious. And even when the news is off they show other programs like did you know etc. they are dope!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2021-08-19, version 6.0.9* This is the best news source. ### 5/5 — Christopher Sheridan *2020-06-04, version 5.5* My name is Christopher outta New York and occasionally watch your updates on my local news feed . ### 5/5 — Learned new facts every minute *2020-04-06, version 5.4.1* Love the delivery, keeps me on my toes with new exciting information, I never knew I needed. love the pink theme ### 5/5 — Interesting content and great cut segments *2018-07-08, version 4.8.0* Business news with levity, my kids and I love the cut segments where new tech is shown and explained. More than that though it’s AD-FREE, save that brain bandwidth for what’s important to you, not what advertisers want to force on you. ### 5/5 — Love cheddar. App is tough. *2018-03-26, version 4.7* Love cheddar. App is tough. ### 5/5 — Bloomberg meet Tech *2017-12-01, version 4.6.2* This is the most well balanced aggregate of news stories that I’ve come across. It doesn’t overwhelm you with politics or world events. They give you a good snap shot of what’s going on and keep it moving. Does a great job in reporting up and coming startups and interviewing people of influence in the tech and business world. Millennials this is for us! ### 5/5 — Awesome Content! *2017-03-13, version 4.0.1* Every episode is very entertaining, interesting, and informative. Love how the host ask legit questions to developers and CEO's of new products and services. One Con: almost every single guest answers "great question," which is degrading to the host or implying they don't the answer. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
