Does not work with pi-hole DNS ad-blocker

Until they fix the app so it will work with a pi-hole DNS ad blocker, I can’t use it. When I try to click into an article, the app has a blocking call to some ad tracking site (I assume), so the article will not load. They should make those asynchronous calls so the article will load.

Fix Live-streaming

The live streaming no longer works. The app asks to log in with a TV provider, you enter the credentials and nothing happens - the screen is just black. I tried reopening, reinstalling, logging in multiple times but nothing works. Please fix ASAP…

Issues…

Apart from technical issues like extended buffering and the need often to close and restart, CNBC limits most articles to Pro and Club. This is unfair, since when using the app, one is exposed to repetitive and annoying ads, many for CNBC shows like Shark Tank. It seems that they are pushing people to the Club, which is ridiculous in light of much skepticism about Cramer’s stock recommendations. Really a conflict of interest between financial news and sales people.
Add: I use my cable subscription to allow me to use this app, having cancelled the paid CNBC Pro. However, frequently, despite the link to DirecTV working , I cannot get Livestream to function, without deleting the app, reinstalling, toggling various settings. What’s going on?

Learned so much with this app

Unfortunately our education system does not teach us how to invest our finances. This app has helped me establish that knowledge! Thank you so much CNBC

Political bias

Steve Less-man’s Political bias is Disgusting! And a real dis-service to your viewers. Still wrong on tariffs, still wrong on inflation,still wrong on everything due to TDS. Andrew is a child with child views of the world. Sara and Joe are both thoughtful and reasonable and clearly the adults in the room.

Love watching Rick Santelli school Less-man.

Worst Streaming App Ever

Love CNBC, hate the mobile app & the AppleTV app. Never able to get connected - little star just spins & spins. This app is really the only reason I still have to have Cable! Absolutely awful.

Charts are not refreshing

Lately charts in the app are not refreshing quickly when switching length of time. Sometimes it even becomes unresponsive when switching different time durations

Watch push has been broken for way too long

Don’t normally make reviews and the app is fine but the push for the notifications to my watch only work when I open the app, sending a barrage of them often days late if I don’t open the app itself on my phone. It’s a known issue and shouldve been fixed long ago. I use these notifications for work and they used to be useful, now they’re just plain irritating.

Text wiped out after a few minutes

I’m unable to read longer articles because the text is lost after a refresh of some kind.
iPad Pro 5th gen
Paid club member. I prefer to read rather than stream video.

App cant load and hold static articles

I want to read an article. I swipe to it in the evening snd the app seems like it cant find the article to show me. Why not?? Then I might be reading an article snd it blips such that the artcle disappears or shrinks snd all I see is the headline and byline. No actual article. You keep putting updates for the back end into the spp store but no be is testing the fixes to see if they work! I dont use live much so i dont have those complaints. The sign in doesnt always hold so I dont bother w live. But honestly, how hard is it to load static written articles and keep the write up in the frame?

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.
