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."

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."

I like the content, but the app constantly crashes, this is one of the most unstable apps that I've ever tried to use! Extremely frustrating when you just want to hop on for 20 min and catch up with the news. Also, WHY ARE THE COMMERCIALS SO ABSURDLY LOUD??!! Whoever is managing the digital experience at CNN should be fired and replaced by someone who actually knows what they are doing."
