This "deprecated" CNET app is GREAT and far better than the "new" CNET app. I especially like the ability to choose specific video shows by hosts that like.
Updated 12/6/17... Same old song.. Stories can be read, but the comments section still doesn't work to add or view comments. I get a screen with a photo of Bryan Tong crying with the heading "what the 404." I'm using android 7.1.1 on my Note8. Are these bugs tested across devices?
This is still just a biased iPhone app, but better than the new $#@;&%\.
why does it say [DEPRECATED]? it's DEPRECIATED
Pliz STOP asking us to install updates outside the Play Store! The app isn't opening before you allow it to update outside the Play Store. Of course, will not install the "update".
Why is it deprecated?
Moto G4. This app got so bad I uninstalled it a year ago. I returned to it recently but found its as bad as ever. The menu bar wasn't working till I restarted the app, and even after that the poll on social media apps doesn't show up and the article on 'in the market for a cheap handset' doesn't show up. I'm baffled with how the app devs are so consistently incapable of developing an app that works.
Good enough, but sometimes the articles are blank or the links don't work. And not being able to open in Chrome is a poor user experience. Why I'm writing this review though... The app just advertised itself while browsing. I thought it must be a new version but clicked the link and nope, same one.
Broken links a plenty. It's a frustrating problem. Seems like a game of chance to see if an article that I want to read will actually open. Great articles... I just can't get to the ones that I want. Please use your mad tech skills to fix it. Thanks you for all the great news though.
Can't believe people who criticize everyone else can't fix their own app. Have to kill the app and relaunch to make menu work. Road show is a joke. No trick helped to ply videos. Same issues on browser too. Stop cruising others and fix your app.
The app is embarrassingly bad, considering that CNET reviews and tests technology. It barely functions at the best of times and don't even get me started with the photo galleries that take you to different articles when you swipe for the next picture in the set.
I downloaded this so looking at reviews would be easier, but I was immediately subscribed to newsletters that sent me multiple emails a day. I blocked them, but come on! And you can turn it off, but by default there are way too many notifications. This app may have decent content. I have no idea. There was too much spam to dig through to make it worth it.
Crashes on my Samsung pad. Or becomes unresponsive when trying to open an article. Crashes when I try to comment on an article. Far too often, articles on tech get political.
Needs features. It's so slow to update it makes the app useless. Much Better off just using browser.
What a shame. Not supporting Android Kitkat anymore. My G Pro could last another 5 years if it wasn't for lousy planned obsolescence. 😞
Great when it works, but as other's have said, keep getting msg that internet not found. This should be a immediate fit for an org like CNet not a wait for an update.
I love CNET but I hate this app. Cannot watch in landscape mode on my Samsung Galaxy tab S3. Very user-unfriendly when trying to watch videos.
The latest version continues to be buggy. It eats battery, even on my brand new Moto Z running Nougat. Featured articles last too long. Articles don't indicate if they've been read. Love CNET but the apps content is no longer with the effort, good bye.
For a tech news company they really have a crappy app. The search engine is miserable and has no sorting option. Unless the article you want is on the first page you'll never find it. Same with product searches.
Tried to give this app a go for a while, but there are so many problems: when I tap a story in my notifications, it doesn't go to that story in the app; comments result in 404 errors, just to name a few...
When you click on a night article you can never see it. Waste of time. Do bother downloading it!
Fix this app!! For over a year now this app will freeze up almost every time I click on the latest articles Tab at the top. They have no problem updating it and making sure it works on IOS though.
Every single time after the update the app keeps crashing and have to wait for updates to get things fixed.Uninstalled the app and started browsing from chrome.Much better now.No updates no crashing,no loading..!
buggy please fix slugush move around unresponsive somefimes
Un-clickable articles (links) ! When I try to click on most articles , nothing happens. Very frustrating. Lousy App.
Long start up time, slow page loading. Sometimes won't load a story page. (on pixel)
Reviews are garbage now. They used to be unbiased but now not so much.
Unfortunately, this app lost the ability to update any further new video content as of 3 weeks ago.
