Everything in the new CNET app (designed for both iPhone and iPad) is focused on the areas that you -- as a tech fan -- care the most about: staying up-to-date with the news and making informed product purchases. STAY UP-TO-DATE WITH TECH NEWS: - FEATURED STORIES: Don’t have much time but need to stay in the know? CNET combines editorial picks with popular and trending news to feature the most important stories in the tech world. - LATEST STORIES: Never miss a beat with our broad coverage. Nearly 100 new items published daily!

That’s understandable -- CNET has written literally thousands of them.

It’s anchored by the largest tech product review catalog in the world. If that’s not enough, how about lightning-fast autosuggestions powered by natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Fancy tech words FTW! OMGLOLBBQ! - IMMERSIVE VIDEO: Quickly learn about a product with CNET’s premium video reviews, which accompany nearly all of CNET’s reviews (in case you forgot by now, there are *thousands* of these). - IN-DEPTH REVIEWS: Need to know more than the highlights?

CNET saves you time and money by helping you find the right product quickly. - FAST-TRACK PURCHASE: You’ve read the review, compared it against a few others, and you’re ready to buy - nice. You’re a tap away from buying it, and at the best price.

Every time that I attempt to login in the app it gives an error that says “Oops. Something went wrong. Leader try again later.” This has been an issue for months with no resolution. And my login is correct as I can login on the website with the same credentials.

The app has had the same stories in the top banner for 2 years, like they got rid of the person who knew how to update it and nobody can figure it out, haven't noticed yet, or the staff was entirely replaced by AI. Speaking of which, the stories now appear to be almost entirely AI generated. I used to like CNET for my tech news, but it appears to be irrevocably broken now.

App does not respect user's choices on iPhone. E.g. video previews interrupt active music listening.

Every time I click a link to see a c|net article, I can’t see a thing because it wants me to update. Apple Store says I’m using the latest version. What’s with this!?!?! How do I get past it?

CNET is so out of touch with 85 percent of Americans when they list top gifts for men and women for special occasions it’s absurd. The vast majority of American adults have little or zero interest in types of gifts CNET list, and CNET has lost touch with day to reviews of the real things we look for on a daily basis. It has become a 100 percent ad site for paid advertising.

Unable to update and can’t open and use the old version without having to update. Tap to rate needs at least one star. No stars for this.

Every time app is opened, I get a dialog box that the app is outdated and needs to be refreshed in the App Store. In the App Store it only states Open, there has been no update in 5 months as of this review submission.

Seems like the app just barfs up random SEO spam instead of useful content. For example, here are the first five stories in my “latest” feed: - Top ISPs in Butte, Montana (I don’t live in Montana) - Todays NYT crisis hints (I don’t do crosswords or visit NYT) - Todays NYT sports highlights (I don’t follow sports) - Today’s Worldle hints (never played, don’t care) - What is ChatGPT (seriously?) - Best auto insurance deals (ugh) - Travel tips for adventure over 60 (I’m nowhere near 60) - Today’s best Amazon deals (more ads) The app doesn’t show anything useful or interesting, but it does really, really, really want me to install a Safari extension so they can monetize my browsing. Pass.

I used to really enjoy CNET articles in the app. Very informative and helpful. What the heck happened to this app? It’s terrible. Actually it has me wondering if they will stay in business. They even made the disastrous decision to venture into politics. I don’t care what some tech publisher thinks about the president or abortion or anything else but technology. Even ignoring that, the app itself is just awful with outdated articles and way too many ads. CNET used to be my “go to” tech hub but today I could no longer tolerate it. So I permanently deleted it.
