User Reviews

Pros: broad CSPAN programming on mobile and handy multitasking viewing features; some users find it reliable. Cons: top complaints are video playback glitches, app instability/navigation issues, heavy ads, lack of search, and content gaps like open forums. Overall, the app provides access to CSPAN content, but playback reliability, discovery, and completeness need improvement.
Pros
  • Broad catalog of CSPAN programming available in the app (hearings, Washington Journal, etc.).
  • Convenient minimized viewing mode for multitasking.
  • Some users report reliable performance and positive experiences (e.g., "works flawlessly", "perfect").
  • Mobile access to CSPAN content on iOS devices (watching on iPhone).
Cons
  • Video playback glitches: clips not playing, black/fullscreen issues, and video vanishing when expanding.
  • Frequent stability and navigation problems: crashes, freezes, and difficulty closing or switching videos.
  • Ads clutter and repetitive ad load.
  • Missing search functionality for finding programs or episodes.
  • Content gaps: missing open forums and other CSPAN content (e.g., Washington Journal segments).

WHY are the recordings of the open forums segments never included in this app? If I miss a day I have to be punished to watch them on my desktop or my phone’s buggy website? Come on. What gives? Include the open forums on here too!
