1 ★ This app does not work at all and CNN does not care! They will not respond to any emails or other inquiries about it. Guess ALL of the people who own Android TV boxes (including the new Chromecast with Google TV) can get our news from sources that care about us!
1 ★ Constant buffering on Xiaomi Mi TV stick. Always have to reload the app just to get it to work for a short time.
1 ★ Doesn't even launch at all on Chromecast w/ GoogleTV. It just shows the splash screen and quits.
1 ★ We just got new chromecast and CNN crashes after the main load screen
2 ★ Non-functional on Chromecast with Google TV. The splash screen loads, then the app crashes to the main menu. I've turned on/off energy optimization and went ahead and given it permissions from within the app's properties. Nothing helps. It's a shame because the actual app is nice to have. It just literally does not work right now. I've sent an email to the contact listed on this page. Possible that the devs just aren't aware. I'd recommend all others coming here to report do the same.
1 ★ Like the other recent reviews, I'm having the same problem where CNN Go just crashes right after it displays it's CNN splash screen and goes back to the Android TV launcher. It worked fine for me up until around mid November. Now it's been broken for weeks. I've force stopped, cleared cache/data, uninstalled and reinstalled it. Even factory reset my Chromecast with Google TV (which isn't looking like a great purchase now). In the meantime I'm using to Cast CNN from my phone, but that has it's own issues too. Might need to bring my Roku back out.
1 ★ UPDATE January 12th. New version still crashes on Chromecast with Google TV. Back to sideloading the older version. Garbage app. Crashes upon opening on the Chromecast with Google TV. Worked a couple weeks back, but lately it only crashes. Tried rebooting, uninstalling, reinstalling, but still does not work. Update: Here we are 6 weeks later (12/26) and still no update that allows the app to work on Chromecast with GoogleTV. Lazy developers who submit shoddy apps like this should be kicked off the Android platform. Update: loaded an old version and it works again. Unfortunately it's pretty much unwatchable because if you go to the live feed you get about 4 minutes of pre-roll commercials you get any actual content. Guess it's time to give up and use other news sources due to a horrible user experience.
1 ★ Brand new TCL smart TV running Android. The App plays the live feed for approximately 5 seconds and then the video feezes but the audio continues just fine. Connectivity to the TV is fine for everything else so I don't suspect a network issue. CNN Go on other devices in the house work just fine. Now having an issue with CNN Go on the new Google TV/Chromecast. Opens...shows gathering news and then closes as MANY other have reported.
1 ★ The app does not work in the Chromecast with Google TV. It has been almost a month and a half since the app tries to load and then crashes. Guessing Google Play users are not relevant to the CNN app developers.
1 ★ Why can't they address this??? There are hundreds of users having the same issue - crashes right after installation and activation. Terrible!!
1 ★ My experience is same as Matt D and David Alter. "Fails to launch every time on the newest Google TV Chromecast device. It was working fine up until today. Tried everything, re-installed, restart, and reboot of my modem/router. No error message, just shows the CNN logo and "loading" then BOOM, disappears and screen shows home Chromecast page. BAD app."

1 ★ This app will not load on the new Chromecast with Google TV. Logo screen pops up with a "Gathering today's news..." message and then it crashes.
1 ★ CNN Go will crash withing seconds of loading on Google TV. It's completely broken. Please fix this
1 ★ Crashes on my chromecast with google tv on the splash screen before the app loads.
