and attitudes like THAT are the reason ure country is Epically Failing.

There seems to be no logical, even financially sound reason for CNN to not allow it's content to be delivered to the world.

Get off your high horse and become Earth focused rather than trying to rule us without sharing or the failing will go beyond Epic proportions.

I have heard that starting oct. 24, CNN will start charging $2 a week for a subscription fee for you to use this app. if this is true why bother with so many other options. not to mention you can just open safari and get your news free. I mean really? come on.

Who's whining? Just asking questions, so stop being aggressive. And just because I am apreciating CNN doesn't mean my "local news stations" sucks, you dork.

If I'm paying for an app, even 1.99, it should be ad-free... I was all for this app by CNN until I saw that there was advertising within the app. I'll stick with Huffington Post's free, ad-free app for my news until CNN stops showing ads to buyers or offers a free ad-supported version.

For some unfathomable reason, the CNN app is not available for download for us in Canada. Must be some secret news that only Americans can see.

So don't buy it then. Nobody is forcing you to do so.

Just because your local news station sucks you need to whine at a US based company for not supplying you with news?

Tough...

Something else for you that is not new... people outside of the US are still whining about not being able to access content from a US based network.

Don't like CNN's coverage? Change the channel. Nobody is forcing you to watch it (or buy the app).

psst, the publisher dictates which territories to publish their app. Not Apple.

What's interesting here is that CNN is embracing the "citizen journalism" model that it has certainly not pioneered. Getting people involved in reporting the news is designed to get them interested in the news and consuming it (on CNN.com or by watching CNN), but what does it do to the quality of said news? I suppose time will tell. However knowing any yahoo with an iPhone can be a reporter is a tad unsettling. Neat app, however.

Probably because apps like this cost money to develop and support? Looks like a bit more resources (e.g. money) went into CNN's app than most other news organization's apps. And $2 really isn't that much to spend on something that could potentially get used once (if not several) times a day.

How disapointed I was to find out that the app is only available for US appstore. Any intel bout the french one?

Yeah its great if you want to pay for an app that has ads in it or if you want to pay for an app that has the same news for free elsewhere including their own mobile web app.

As I see it's not available outside US. Well, what else is new?

Good. I really have been waiting for a good news app. An there really isn't one out there.

I'll take your advice and give em the two bucks. Plus I already like most of CNN's reporting.
