Council on Foreign Relations App Reviews

I thoroughly enjoy the breadth and depth of the articles whose headlines I see on the CFR app. My main concern seems to be just one of usability. About 40% of the time, when I select an article to view, I am taken to the expected follow-on screen that would normally contain the article text, however all I am able to see is the title of the article, blank space where I expect the article text, and then the link to Share the article at the bottom. There doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to which articles experience this. I definitely feel that this interface glitch is significantly limiting the the ability of this App to achieve its primary purpose.

Ive read articles online for years, but the app is utterly unusable. It freezes continuously. Please fix this issue.

I downloaded this app and immediately got rid of it because it simply doesnt work. It freezes more often than not and I cant actually get any information from it. Use the website until they create an app that actually functions. I think this one should be pulled. Its not just buggy. It actually does not function.

Great Information and works stable.

It will be great if you make an Ipad version of this app!

very useable. much easier than surfing the website

This app from the Council on Foreign Relations is incredibly easy to use and filled with terrific content on foreign policy - from the latest news to updates on critical issues and regional developments. Its a world of information and smart analysis at your fingertips.

Ive been waiting for CFR to put out an iPhone app and its finally here, with an attractive and functional layout replete with blog and video links, as well as journal articles. But theres nowhere for current subscribers to log in! Ill bump my rating when this is fixed.

This is one of my favorite news sources now. Easy and convenient!

Its great, amazing organization. Would have given it 4 stars but no search bar? Honestly?

Good app/good info. Keep it up.

Love the app. Good work, keep improving

Very smooth, works great on ios7.

The interface is great. Videos load quickly. Looks very much like the website on my computer. Very good job!

As a student in china, this is everything that I need when developments happen around the world. Short enough to read on the metro, but long enough to fill in missing details. If youre passionate about remaining relevant in US foreign policy, Id recommend the app. Its the worth the download.

I find the app search function cannot find articles I can access on the website. Thats a problem. Although the Use-the-Mobile-App" screen pops up whenever one goes to an article on the CFR website, if you open the app, it doest link to the article automatically. This app is a preliminary start. Hopefully, it will improve with each update.

Its not easy to access the CFR backgrounders. Could use more sorting options and better search features.

With its combination of in depth concise content and links to interesting third-party sources I have to say that this is one of my favorite outlets for getting news

This is a good start but definitely needs worked on. Lacks many of the features of the website.

All I get is 50 word blurbs. Still have to go to the website to get the full article. Thats not a "better experience". But thanks for doing it. I guess it will work as a quick way to see the latest publications.
