Recently this app will not open to the stories for which I get notifications. It goes to the main menu. I don't want to then have to search for the story. This was a dumb update. Also, app will not close anymore with back button. Must force close. Not putting me into the requested story and then making me force close has started the habit of looking at other news sources first. These are not great updates, CNN. Get it together.

4* for news. But 1* because it does not exit when you use the back button. The cnn app opens when you click on CNN news in a browser ( don't want it to ). And the app doesn't exit when you hit back. News. I like the live audio only option on the front page. Handy during car drives. BUT it does not work on my pixel 4a 5g via bluetooth. All the other usual audio and music apps work ok.

Seeing as they want to disable the feedback option in the app, I'll pop it here. This was a great app. Now they put white headlines over white pictures. Does noone review before posting? You better make damn sure you want to read the article, because now, they have decided that every time you read an article and go back, you end up at the top of the list of articles, forcing you to scroll all the way back to where you were. Luckily, there are plenty of other news apps, go for one of those.
