WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Bugs, things not working20%

64 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ because the app on the TV doesn't let me watch the National morning News (behind a pay wall), I always cast it from my pixel phone and now that doesn't work.
★★★★★ The stream has been glitching for two weeks.
★★★★★ Not very configurable, hangs a lot and generally glitchy at times.
Crashes and freezes16%

52 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Works great at the beginning then slows down, freezes and eventually might come back or just shuts down.
★★★★★ update: new version was ok for a while but now keeps erroring out and won't start at all.
★★★★★ strange and unnecessary animations when you open a news story, crashes often.
Worse after an update11%

36 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I don't mind the app overall, but recently (likely due to an Android update) the casting is no longer able to find my tv or any Google devices.
★★★★★ update: new version was ok for a while but now keeps erroring out and won't start at all.
★★★★★ I'm extremely frustrated with whatever update happened in the last month or so to render this app pretty much useless.
Slow, laggy, battery9%

30 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ your app is awful, it lags almost every 2 minutes and we cant watch anything it so frustrating, I have a really good connection, I can watch netflix, tuby and youtube np at all.
★★★★★ takes forever to load, doesn't understand that my local is Ontario.
★★★★★ very slow to load, freezes always, uninstalled till fixed
Too many ads8%

25 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ads transport you to the site if you barely graze them, such as sliding your finger to scroll up.
★★★★★ first of all, whenever I'm reading an article and the amazon ads are there, when scrolling, once your finger touches the ads it takes me away from article straight to amazon app.
★★★★★ Although I have lots of respect for CTV, being part of our family for 60 years, I have zero respect for its app as it forces ads when you are simply scrolling through their articles and you happen to slide up or down…
Wrong or poor results4%

★★★★★ As useless as its parent company
★★★★★ I'm extremely frustrated with whatever update happened in the last month or so to render this app pretty much useless.

Price and subscription3%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ because the app on the TV doesn't let me watch the National morning News (behind a pay wall), I always cast it from my pixel phone and now that doesn't work.
★★★★★ All of a sudden you can't even scroll down without just lightly accidentally touching an advertisement now and it goes to advertisement page, it's such a scam, I'm not clicking on the ad, just scrolling!
★★★★★ It made me charge my phone 2–3 times a day for no reason.
Missing features3%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This app needs a login and there is no way to get one.
★★★★★ app has changed the way they display adds, no option to exit ad or even the app until finished playing unless you close your phone.
★★★★★ It is so annoying and happens so often and there is no way to turn off the swipe feature/bug.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • total garbage live in central Alberta and no matter how I try I get Calgary stories ,please give us the news that is pertinent to us Calgary is irrelevant. 1★, Jun 29, 2026
  • This app needs a login and there is no way to get one. 1★, Jun 15, 2026
  • I had no issues with it for about a few days or for a while now, I would say, but the popping up ads when opening up CTV News app will occur sometimes or once in awhile if your lucky, but I think there should be… 3★, May 27, 2026
  • I only wish there was a way to save articles . 3★, Aug 19, 2025
  • I try to use WiFi whenever possible and this app really needs to have a setting to restrict it's data use to WiFi only. 4★, Aug 5, 2025
  • They should include a choice of a frontpage: headline list / smaller thumbnail photos with headlines/ or what they have now. 2★, Jan 17, 2025
  • It would be great if more effort could be made to post it consistently and early. 3★, Dec 18, 2024
  • I don't care about dark mode, I want to be able to open the news 3★, Oct 5, 2024

Not as biased as Global News or CBC

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026

I don't mind the app overall, but recently (likely due to an Android update) the casting is no longer able to find my tv or any Google devices. because the app on the TV doesn't let me watch the National morning News (behind a pay wall), I always cast it from my pixel phone and now that doesn't work. it's been a few weeks and no fix has come.

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026

ALL CORPORATE MEDIA is, at this point, utter garbage!... heavily biased, ad-ridden propaganda. This includes CTV, Global, and our vaunted CBC. None of the people who run these stations or deliver the news to you will EVER see your concerns and your community the way you need them to.

★★★★★Sep 23, 2026

news from a Canadian perspective with video. I didn't see any ads.

★★★★★Sep 15, 2026

The content is great. The jittery scrolling is horrendous.

★★★★★Sep 15, 2026

doesn't easily load the news
