Can’t stand the increased political content in your product.

After more than 30 years of watching CNBC, I am leaving to go somewhere where there is not added political content in the world of business.
Too bad, just want the numbers without the political content.
Just a lousy show now.

Live Stream Does Not Work through TV Providers

Please turn off Livestream through TV Provider. This feature has not worked since Versant Media took over. Very disappointing that Versant Developers can’t figure this out. Joe Kernen, is this acceptable?

Poor sound

This app prevents me from raising the volume to a level that is audible. I cannot use this at the gym or anywhere with the slightest level of ambient noise. Using headphones doesn’t work either. I need to shove my phone speaker into my ear to hear anything. Just horrible.

Live video broken

The live video rarely works, and I have to constantly delete the app and reinstall.

Horrible

Spending so much on a Pro subscription when this app sucks... can't even watch a full episode of anything before it crashes midstream. Happens ALL THE TIME too.

Unstable audio and video

Very disappointed with this app, especially live video, which is very unstable. Also, I am pretty sure they are throttling the audio, as volume is consistently low.

American Greed Show

I liked this show it taught me a lot about fraud, greed, Wall Street, etc. From this show it made me learn to handle my own money but I read good books from Warren buffet, John Boggle, Suze organ just to name a few that know how to handle money wisely. And thank u cnbc for Suze OrMan for 13 years of knowledge. She is great! It’s a good ap but I don’t do subscription I save the money instead! God bless!✝️

Good luck logging in

You guys gotta fix your login process on certain devices. It’s completely impossible to login. Make it so I can enter my account info manually… i mean seriously what are we doing.
Live streaming is shotty when its at its best…Do better.

Live stream broken for a year

Fix live stream. Never loads. Hasn’t worked in close to a year.

Further decrease in content

For years, the top ten holdings of any mutual fund could be accessed. That feature has now been eliminated.

Worst App!

Doesn’t work frequently, same ads back to back. Just horrible!

Baneful

Insanely buggy. For example how can the app cannot open when I click on the CNBC alerts after all these years? It’s appalling.

Mandatory updates are a no go

This app enforces mandatory updates. This is a no go for me. It is a news app, not a banking app. Therefore a hint for an update would be sufficient, but not an enforcement.

The best thing is: i updated and wanted to start the app and it still says: An update is required. The app store just shows an open button, there is no update anymore, but the app still claims to need an update. Isn‘t CNBC testing its releases?

Save your money, not worth the price you pay!

Don't make the same mistake I did. Save your money, similar stock market information and financial news can be found elsewhere for free or at a much lower cost.

Be especially careful with the auto-renew subscription. If you don't cancel it in time, you'll continue to be charged.

In my experience, the stock guidance wasn't worth the subscription price, and much of the content was simply news or financial news that's widely available from other sources. I didn't feel I received enough value to justify the cost.

If you're considering paying for this app, do your research first. Personally, I would have been better off investing the subscription money directly than paying for information I found to be of little value.

Sounds so low

I don’t know what improvements was done but the sound of streaming became very low! I need take headphones to hear what news says

Bias reporting

Sadly, CNBC couldn’t stay away from their liberal bias. For all the great features and news they provided, they failed to stay fair. Scott Cohen’s piece on worst states to live in proved my point. I delegated the app.

Woke up

Articles including the best states and worst states to live in is so bias that I am deleting this app. Lost trust in anything the publish…

Now I have to allow privacy access too , huh?

Bogus, deleted the app !

Metals prices missing

Under Commodities, the entire Metals prices are missing. Does anyone else have this problem?

Unreliable App

subscribed to CNBC Pro to try it. ios shows i m subscribed, but the app wont recognize it. Just paid for nothing
