It's really not useful
Feels like they want to be in the VR scene. But they have no budget, no imagination, or no skill. One of the three is missing.
One crappy 360° video story and very difficult to navigate app otherwise. Don't just make a useless 360° app because you want to have a 360° app. Better not to have one at all than something like this
Not at all worth
The splash screen was pretty laggy, dropping frames often. You can see black edges of you look around. On the upside, the UI was simple and easy to use and the videos start really fast. I think it's a good start, but needs more polish to be really sharp.
I like getting my news like this, but after several minutes it got laggy. And it might of been my internet, but the white lettering for the videos turned into white boxes and I couldn't read them. Also when watching videos they weren't quite centered, it was slightly to the right, I couldn't figure out how to center it. So looking to the right the hole time was kinda weird. I recommend this app, it just needs improvements!
Cool app. Content is good, keep getting updated every day! I was able to watch videos easily, fast and without any lag. Videos didn’t center sometimes and was in offset but it can be realigned by reopening them. Looking forward to future app upgrades with additional new features.
Lags usually also causes huge battery drain
Great content and new experience! Enjoyed viewing my news in this innovative and immersive way. While there are some performance issues that can be improved on, I found the gesture controls intuitive and easy to use, and video load time was surprisingly fast. Especially liked the featured story section that highlights the important topics! Perhaps video controls can be added in the future to allow me more freedom in video viewing.
Well this one just froze my phone upon launching and needed a hard reset.
Why bother? They never updated the stories. Great concept but poor follow through.
Not worth the install
Pretty useless and buggy
Doesn't work on Pixel XL. 6 bars of CNN vr logo keeps cycling but even if I click on the link with my daydream controller nothing happens, very disappointed. Why would CNN even release this?
