CNN iPhone App Improvement Needed

The CNN app on the iPhone needs work done as soon as possible. CNN is supposed to be one of the largest and latest news network, yet the application and the notifications are working improperly. The notifications that pop up on the screen when clicked takes the subscriber to the home page and the user has to go thoroughly through the site to find the notification. The notification doesn't have that news story readily available for a subscriber to click on or take you to the designated news story one is seeking.

Compared to the USA Today application, which also has the notification option, CNN is lacking a ease in access to top news. The USA Application has a notificatoin application  which also pops up a few seconds after CNN but the app goes directly to the news story notified. Also the USA Today application has easier manuverability compared to CNN.

The CNN applicaton definitely needs more improvement to keep retention because I am one that is close to turning off the notifications and continuing to utilize USA Today's application more frequently.
