When asked for my interests, Apple was not a choice I made (nor anything to do with stimulus checks/politics, I get that elsewhere, thank you). When my results popped up, it was stimulus checks and Apple. Also, I would do the videos, because I just like to read, and it would mysteriously start up again half way through the article. I'll stick with their website, though even there I'm forced to turn off videos. Too bad, I used to enjoy CNET so much more.

Basically - app is meh but should be great. It is very difficult to find any cnet shows like apple core or Top 5. At the bottom you have two choices - news and products. They need a 3rd choices for shows.... The Roku app is better for this reason. Overall, the quality of content and delivery is fantastic if you can find what you are looking for.

Unidirectional communication from them to the world. Unable to ask a question about technology; not on their website, not in the app. I'll do it here. 5G news seems to try to draw everyone to their plethora of possibilities, but there is ONE that interests me now: How will it improve the calling experience? Being the telephone an invention older than TV, the quality of calls still leaves a lot to be desired (strength of signal, clarity of the voice, etc.). Only one that was mentioned: latency.

I love CNET, and I like the app. However, there is a problem with the video player where the sound sometimes goes in and out and in and out (like you are hitting mute over and over again). I haven't pinpointed exactly when it happens versus when it works as intended, but it also starts a video up again even when you have paused the video. It happens so much that I RARELY watch the videos and just read the reviews/articles.

do not install this app. If you want to read cnet, use the mobile site and create a shortcut. Lately they started autoplaying of videos but since I usually have the sound turn off, there is a big unmute button that must the click before you can stop the autoplaying. this is embarrassing when the sound from the video starts blasting from the phone in public. in addition since I cannot immediately stop the autoplaying, it is eating the data on the phone.

Downloaded it to my Galaxy S7 Edge after reading of another user's difficulty. Works fine. Opened app repeatedly just to see. No problems. Articles came up fast. Switching categories is smooth. I've relied on CNET heavily over the years. I trust them. I'm glad to have them in my pocket now. Try it. And to the user with the phone like mine, make sure its updated then uninstall/reinstall. Maybe that'll work. I hope so.

I thought this was going to be a copy of the website with search and different areas to go to. Instead it's just a bunch of videos. Disappointed with that but it does have some redeeming qualities. Video okay - just no navigation to what my interests are at the time. I use the cnet website as a reference tool and would like to be able to use the app the same way.

Notifications doesn't work properly. I have never been able to go directly to the article that pops up on the notification. I am forced to search for the article and end up reading other things and wasting way more time. The main reason why it feels frustrating is that it operates like Bait and switch. The other issue that I have faced with the app is the app's audio crept into Android Auto while I was driving. The app has great content, shame that the app is glitchy.
