1. [R41] 5/5 · US Please Add A stock market Widget For IPhone: This App Is wonderful the Benifits of knowledge is awesome I just wish it had some Widgets for I can see the updates faster thank you
2. [R156] 5/5 · US Indispensable: I watch my 401k like a hawk and without this app a person is really in the dark. Watched the cable channel for 40 years but since I’ve been cord cutter, I was lost until I got this app …
3. [R181] 5/5 · US One Stop for my financial education: Love the comments by experts and fed decisions which helps me to learn about economics.
4. [R262] 5/5 · GB Frank Moseley: Excellent coverage. Well informed Half Time report very good.
5. [R259] 5/5 · GB Excellent all across: Excellent that the Picture in Picture feature was reinstated, this is absolutely essential. Thank you for listening to the feedback. Otherwise; 5-star coverage and newsflow.
6. [R260] 5/5 · GB Picture In Picture removed in update: The latest update has removed a very useful feature Picture In Picture. Why was this done? It now means one cannot watch the stream whilst browsing the other parts of the app. 18Sept’23: Thanks for reinstalling Picture in Picture
7. [R345] 3/5 · GB Watchlist: Just discovered watchlist recently, like it as it is bang up to date with stocks.
8. [R38] 5/5 · US Still poor “SAVED News Articles” panel: SAVED News Articles still awkwardly only in tiny side panel from User drop-down. Please put SAVED News back as an available NEWS SECTION so it can be in normal FULLSCREEN area like all other news sections/articles. Also (longtime complaint), scrolling right-side “5 other articles” should be available INDEPENDENTLY of where you are at scrolling through the a
9. [R6] 1/5 · US Videos Freeze: I don’t understand for the life of me how this is a five star rated app. This app is absolutely horrible and has gotten worse since Versant bought out the company. The videos freeze about 20% into it. The charts are incredibly amateur and lag the videos take so long to come out after they’ve been played. Do better this is garbage.
10. [R7] 1/5 · US Livestream never loads: I hardly ever leave reviews and almost never leave negative reviews but this app has been so frustrating. I have to refresh it 30+ times to get the livestream to even load and sometimes it just never does and I can't watch that morning. Then sometimes I have to go through the same process after stops working after a commercial break. No one has time for that. I know it's sp
11. [R9] 1/5 · US Content great app still stinks: The live stream feature is still not working. I’ve used this app for years. Everything was great but months ago, it will not let you connect through your cable provider. When you hit the button, the wheel just spins and spins for hours. I was hoping after this last update it would be fixed but to no avail.
12. [R14] 2/5 · US Live streaming terrible: I've had this app for about a year, and the live streaming has almost never worked. I hate to have to listen to my shows later via podcast.
13. [R16] 1/5 · US Video hangs frequently: Several times a minute the video will either hang and I have to restore the page or the sound turns off and I have to hit the speaker icon to turn it back on. That means I miss a lot of the information. This happens on the web app and on the iOS app. This morning I couldn’t get the Investing Club Morning Meeting to work at all. That’s usually where I get the most informat
14. [R28] 2/5 · US Terrible for Apple TV: Every time there is an app update this freezes necessitating removing the app, re-download, and login. Better to stream this channel on a cable app.
15. [R29] 1/5 · US Complete garbage app!: Articles no longer load, livestream video is extremely low, and DVR videos often lock up and crash. I will never subscribe to your service again. Your corporate owners should be embarrassed.
16. [R3] 1/5 · US App won’t load lately: For the last few months I’m having issues where stories just won’t load. I have to reconnect to my wifi to make it work. Sort of annoying I’m assuming it’s tied to their spammy ads and my Unifi system blocking them. App used to work great, but since the spinoff has been bad.
17. [R17] 1/5 · US Not working: Article content and charts have not been loading for the last week.
18. [R231] 3/5 · US Good content, poor performance: Provides good content and breaking news. However app performance is generally poor with articles taking forever to load compared to other finance apps
19. [R2] 3/5 · US Metals prices missing: Under Commodities, the entire Metals prices are missing. Does anyone else have this problem?
20. [R113] 4/5 · US Missing High Lows: The new version is missing 52 week highs and lows!!
21. [R117] 3/5 · US No more 52 week range: What happened to the 52 week range on both iOS and iPad os? It’s suddenly gone. Please bring it back.
22. [R125] 3/5 · US they trashed it: Why was 52 week high low, and 5 and 10 year sections removed from the app. It feels incomplete now
23. [R8] 1/5 · US Not compatible with Ipad Pro: App will not allow log in if you are using an ipad pro
24. [R15] 1/5 · US New app no longer linkes with fios. Gives a VPN error on login.: Tried reinsalling several times.
25. [R24] 1/5 · US Trash just pure trash: Live stream literally never works. Logged in with cable and it never works. This app is trash since they spilt the company up. You download the app and it doesn’t even let you login. The screen just freezes. Ever since they left their parent company this app hasn’t worked. Total pure trash.
26. [R5] 2/5 · US CNBC gets worse with each upgrade :( Get Pro, join Club, Ad overload!: CNBC gets worse with each upgrade :( Get Pro, join Club, Ad overload!
27. [R42] 1/5 · US Noisy.: Frustrating use; lack of respect for users of the free version. Content is full of teasers for paid content in addition to advertising. Pick an existential route; this greedy double dipping may not be kind to your future.
28. [R49] 3/5 · US Good Investment Information: I enjoy listening to the information shared but i gave it a 3 because there are to many commercials for the high price subscription.
29. [R122] 5/5 · US Privacy policy not private enough: I’m grateful for the ease of use to find the day’s financial news but I’m deleting the app because I get too much advertising.
30. [R4] 2/5 · US Articles are biased at best, propaganda at worst.: I look at the quotes, whoever writes the articles are left wing activists that are too biased. I don’t watch CNBC anymore because of the bias and lies.
31. [R19] 1/5 · US I came here for stock tickers, not constant political slant: I downloaded the CNBC app to track my portfolio, monitor market trends, and get breaking financial news. Instead, my notification feed has turned into a constant stream of political commentary, specifically a relentless barrage of anti-Trump articles. If I wanted 24/7 political bias and opinion pieces dressing up as hard news, I would ha
32. [R20] 1/5 · US The revamped propaganda spam news: What happened to CNBC? Why are they airing fear mongering incoherent politicians from LA’s mayoral campaign or a senile always winning stolen election ramblings. What do these hacks have to do with financial markets?
33. [R37] 1/5 · US Libtarded Nonsense: The articles have been slowly but surely getting more left leaning fake news, and even worse spelling and grammar errors increasing throughout articles 👀🤡
34. [R31] 1/5 · US Barely usable with IPad.: Very slow to load and live TV rarely work even when logged in to Cable provider. Works better with Windows lap top but also intermittent disconnect unrelated to Wi-Fi. Works best on Verizon Android phone.
35. [R363] 3/5 · GB Slight slower but better than others available in the market: Slight slower but better than others available in the market
36. [R12] 1/5 · US Not accessible for the blind, hasn’t worked with voiceover for blind users for a while: I am a blind user. Yes I have the latest iOS as of this writing and all that. For a while now, I get their notifications, but if I click on it… It will not read me the article. The screen freezes. It hasn’t read a single letter to me with the voiceover turned on for months now! I can’t even do that thing where
37. [R173] 3/5 · US App icon change: I really wish they had not changed the app icon. Now the app looks like about 10 other apps on my phone so now, when I get notifications from CNBC, I think my garage is opening! Or I think there’s something wrong with my Eero WiFi network, for example, because the app now looks like so many others. Etc etc. I wish they would just go back to the old app icon or choose something
38. [R209] 4/5 · US Alert tone: Please can you change option to change alert tone or make ios default notification as alert tone. The
39. [R296] 3/5 · GB Hate the sound of the notifications: Good app but someday the notification sound will give my family a heart attack
40. [R18] 1/5 · US Trash: The “CRYPTO WORLD” NEWS NEVER UPDATES !!! THE LATEST STORY IS APRIL 14!!!! WE ARE IN JUNE !!!!!
41. [R1] 1/5 · US Now I have to allow privacy access too , huh?: Bogus, deleted the app !
42. [R90] 4/5 · US Hi-Lo Data Restored: Thanks for bringing this back. I reply on your web site for data. If the “Club” was not so expensive I would join.
43. [R27] 1/5 · US Integration with Verizon totally broken: Looks like they really just want you to pay up now - Verizon login has been broken since the last update 3 weeks ago.
