The widget for Android is terrible. Why cant news organizations get this right? (The Washington Post is the only good one I've found). CNN's is constantly blank and says to reload, then does nothing when you click on reload. On those occasions when it really does show a summary of news in the widget, any story you click on does nothing. You basically have to click on "more news," which takes you to the app and is the same as if I just put the CNN app logo on my screen and click that. Useless.

I've had the app for years, but over the last few weeks it has taken 1-2 minutes (literally) to load. Nothing has changed with my phone, and I've checked all the settings that I can think of. I've even reinstalled the app a couple times to no avail. This is the only app that's causing me problems, so I have to believe it's the app and not my phone. If this continues, I'll just have to delete the app and go with another news source.

I used to love this app. I wanted news and it served up news. Sure there were some ads, but they generally behaved themselves. Now it feels like one of those cheap games with all the intrusive ads. They are obnoxious! Some even try to look like news stories, which makes CNN seem untrustworthy. Are you trying to fool me into clicking? Shame on you. If things don't improve soon, I'm uninstalling this.
