Comments on CBC News: Breaking & Local for Android

★★★★★ Carole Saalmans · Aug 9, 2026

The app has my local news as well as top stories in one spot

★★★★☆ Jeff Hawker · Jul 10, 2026

Having been a keen listener to CBC radio news for decades, it was an easy shift to use the CBC online news app when it became available. I find it very useful to get a quick scan of Canadian and international news headlines.

★★★★★ Tim · Jul 10, 2026

I like news outlets that are unambiguous compared to US news outlets.

★★★★★ George Chrusch · Aug 7, 2026

Can access news anytime, and constantly updated to get up to the moment news in Canada and the world ... well done CBC News!!

★★★★★ cg · Aug 29, 2026

Excellently designed. Easy to navigate. A great combination of white space and text. Also a good local coverage

★☆☆☆☆ Patrick O'Grady · Aug 12, 2026

I know Canada is kind of a relaxed sleepy place, but on January 10, 2026, there is only one new article at 9am pst. March 29, 2026, only one new article by 930 pst. June 25, 2026 4 kinda new articles at 930 eastern. July 4, 2026, two new articles... Aug 12, one new article at 9am EDT... How much public money does the CBC get for this? I want a CBC and want Canadian news, but this is a complete joke pulled on every Canadian... CBC. YOU'RE FLUFF.

★☆☆☆☆ Nick Stengel · Jul 28, 2026

CBC news requires me to create an account and sign on. This is entirely unacceptable. It also gave me a notification that interrupted something. Uninstalled.

★☆☆☆☆ Sina G · Sep 1, 2026

I used this app for years. Now you need a login. I log in, it logs me out. I spend more time logging in than using the app. I try to read cbc.can it redirects me to the app. Therefore, after maybe a decade of using the app I need to uninstall it just to read the news
