| 2024-10-16 |  | | No better out there. Wish the Pro version was more affordable. Edit: latest version's "livestream" service is semi-functional. The video function works well until a commercial break. Then, I believe, they youte the connection to a separate commercial handler which usually "hangs" until you manually reselect the live video feed. The Audio only livestream is basicsllly useless. Select & you get 3-4 min of audio commercials and then are connected to a previous days feed or a random cnbc podcast |
| 2023-03-15 |  | | Okay, so after the last few updates that were not so good, the CNBC app works again and is actually a pretty nice app. Easy to navigate, push notifications that are actually worthwhile, etc. All in all, it feels like CNBC got this one right. The only complaint I have left is that the app will, from time to time, not launch the markets widget at the top of my home page. If I exit out of the app and go back in, it reappears. Certainly not fatal to my enjoyment of the app, but it is annoying |
| 2023-02-11 |  | | I used to stream audio, but since the update it just stops after a minute or two. It drives me crazy. I used to listen to it all day, every day at work. Please fix this! Update - ok, I was contacted and was told the issue it fixed. I'll give it another shot. Thanks! Now, get rid of Jim Cramer! He is an idiot, he is ALWAYS wrong about EVERYTHING! so much so that there are etf's that trade on the INVERSE of his views. |
| 2023-01-31 |  | | Update: a month ago, Customer Support told me the developers were aware of this issue and were working on fix. How long does it take to release a patch?? Horrendous! For the past several weeks, when listening to "Live Audio", the audio stops playing when the screen times. This is not the way the app has been working for the past couple of years. The Live Audio never required the screen to be on. This was broken in the Dec. update. Makes the app pretty much useless now. |
| 2023-01-26 |  | | Used to work fine for months but now you can't listen to live audio without having the app open (can't have the screen off and can't go to any other apps) thus making your phone unusable. Defeats the whole purpose of the app. Contacted cnbc over a month ago and their idiot coders still can't figure out the problem (even though they have working versions to pull from) |
| 2023-01-10 |  | | This app has become very frustrating. Crashes all the time. Shuts down when the screen times out, shuts down when I close the cover to the phone, shuts down when I go to another app. It was never like this in the past. I keep my operating system on my Samsung updated and have even uninstalled and reinstalled the CNBC app with no luck. I really hate this app now. |
| 2022-12-12 |  | | Still having ads talk over the top of the TV shows. It seems like something called "REAL TIME INSIGHTS " is more important to here than your actual TV program. What changed. I never used to have this issue. Now it is happening all of the time. I have un-installed and re-installed the app. Shut my phone down and re-started. Nothing I do on my end seems to help. Impossible to listen to with both sources talking at the same time. |
| 2022-09-16 |  | | Every single interactive chart in the app is now showing up as "No chart available". I've tried reinstalling, restarting, and signing in and out multiple times, as well as clearing my cache, to no avail. Update: I contacted your customer support a week ago, and after an initial email saying you'd look into it, it's been total radio silence. If I could rate you below 1 star at this point, I would |
| 2022-04-21 |  | | Frustrating that you can't listen to anything on the app while visiting other apps or functions on your phone. And, crashes constantly!! While I subscribed to cnbc pro, it rarely worked. Even though I would stay logged in, I could hardly ever access the PRO articles/videos. Caught in a cycle... kept having to go out, go back in, and get lucky maybe 10% of the time. It's really expensive to be having those kind of problems! Not good value at all. Also extremely glitchy for tracking stocks !!! |
| 2022-04-05 |  | | CNBC is always on at my house and this app is full of great information and timely alerts. However, it has some of the slowest load times of any app I've ever run. Updated 3/8/22: App crashes almost every time you try to open an article. Update 4/4/22: CNBC app support worked with me to solve the issue and eventually released an update that appears to fix the problem. đź‘Ť |
