The CNN app has not been updating and has been showing old headlines for almost a month now. This app used to consistently show up-to-date headlines - is there any way to resolve this?

so - the app matches what is in their active feed URLs. which means - either they have a problem, they have shut down their feeds or they have moved their feeds to different URLs.
I’ll do some more digging
appreciate it thank you!
reached out to a friend of mine who works @ WBD - he said they starting shutting down the feeds last year - - there were still a couple active - but they have been working through cleaning the rest up. there’s no revenue for the site via RSS (since there’s no ads and they can’t put it behind a paywall) + people were using it to bypass the advertising & reposting the content to 3rd party sites. WBD is all about the $ - with the layoffs in underperforming groups / divisions - so this was a minor thing to them - but they realized it was an open door that needed to be closed.
I’ll reach out to the Tidbyt team and get them to pull the app. I don’t want people to have bad experiences .
@wiuara - Thanks for the heads up - I’ve got so many news apps on my 2x devices in my office - even if I had it running, I don’t know that I would have noticed it.
