Glitchy garbage
Deleted app when they started subscription required paywall. No thanks. Happy to watch ads for free services from hundreds of other sites.

CNN Wants Canadians to Pay for News We Can Get Elsewhere
Congratulations, CNN. Apparently, bombarding readers with endless advertisements, autoplay videos, and commercial breaks wasn’t profitable enough. Now you’ve decided Canadians should pay a subscription just to read your articles too?
Let’s be clear: CNN is an American news outlet. As Canadians, we follow American news because what happens south of our border often affects us here at home. But that doesn’t mean we’re desperate enough for your coverage to start paying for something we’ve accessed for years while already putting up with your advertising.
Now we’re suddenly greeted with a “free article limit” and a demand to subscribe? Seriously?
You’re trying to squeeze subscription revenue out of readers you’ve already been monetizing through advertising. It’s shameless double-dipping.
We have CBC here in Canada, which continues to provide accessible news without throwing up a paywall after a handful of articles. Why would I pay CNN for American news when I can follow major American developments through Canadian outlets that actually understand how those events affect Canadians?
I’ve followed CNN for years, but you’ve vastly overestimated how indispensable your app is.
One star. No subscription. No thanks. I’ll stick with CBC.
Good luck convincing Canadians to pay for the privilege of watching advertisements while reading American news. You’ve just given us one more reason to support Canadian journalism instead.
