If I have to pay for CNN I will buy a newspaper instead. It’s no longer my go to news app. Pay to read news If I have to pay for CNN I will buy a newspaper instead. It’s no longer my go to news app.

The app is great but all of the sudden I am cut off from reading any articles because we now have to subscribe?!?! There are a lot of ads to slog through so why charge us ? If you want an informed public, make it free again! Why pay for CNN News? Goodbye The app is great but all of the sudden I am cut off from reading any articles because we now have to subscribe?!?!

I love this app great resource for news. Now they’re charging you for everything so I rather just watch it on tv or download another news source. I guess the rich always trying to stay rich. This economy isn’t good enough for me to pay for something that I had been watching for free. ✌🏾😎 CNN it’s real been real. Nice app but no to charge I love this app great resource for news.

It is absolutely obscene that a multi billion dollar organization is charging for a subscription for their news and mainly opinion. Understanding that Warner Brothers profitability as of March 2025 for the prior 12 months was over $16 billion. Granted, CNN has had a sharp decline in viewership in profitability is not what it once was, however, CNN profitability is greatly reduced. However they are still profitable. It is truly sad that their loss of innovation has resulted in placing the burden on their supporters and viewership. Unfortunately, CNN has lost its way becoming more opinion and fluff than news. They lost their innovation that made them into a trusted news leader. Good luck getting this back CNN… we will be watching, reading and listening…..to other sources Fee for new subscription It is absolutely obscene that a multi billion dollar organization is charging for a subscription for their news and mainly opinion.
