How is the CNN Android App working for iReports?
Greetings. My name is GHung. I am here for the CNN iReport Roundtable this afternoon. How is the CNN Android App working for iReports?
Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing well :)
Hi everyone. Nice to see you GHung and sbeasla
I think the android app is doing pretty well. I don't have any details.
Hi david, sbaesla and ghung.
Want to ask if i can watch the royal wedding in android tab using cnn apps. Thanks
What ho, everyone
While we're getting started I've got a couple of quick things I want to tell everyone about.
We just launched new Facebook integration this morning! You can now link your iReport account up with your Facebook account so that it will automatically post your iReports on your Facebook wall.
Here's a link with more details.

Great to see you too @davidw. I want to thank the CNN crew for putting my iReport on The Voice on the entertainment page. I'm so excited about all the feedback. :)
One other bit of great news -- KCRep has passed the one million page views milestone, so we all want to congratulate her.
@sbeasla - I will pass that along to our Marquee Blog editor.
Hi henry
Hi Sherbien,
I think you can watch live CNN video on the Android app, so I would think you would be able to watch it.
I know that CNN.com will be streaming it live and that their will be a rebroadcast at noon ET. so you can watch it there if you're near a computer.
Passing this along: "you're very welcome, sbeasla"
@davidw - I was rooting for her! It's so great that you guys do a writeup on the "CNN Millionaires." I want to follow her footsteps too!
Congrats @KCRep!
@hhanks - Thank you!
So what's everyone working on this week?
Hello iReportland! Haven't been to the roundtable in awhile! Hope everyone is having a great week!
I love the new Facebook connect. I saw it before today though but I'm glad CNN is getting more social :)
Welcome @KyleHD
Well, there is reminder message for today's CNN iReport Roundtable at 3 p.m. ET in my mail.
Sherbien mentioned the royal wedding, which makes me want to show you all this http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-598102
I just got off the phone with this woman who made a life-sized Kate Middleton cake that can feed a thousand people.
If you're in Dallas, you should check it out.
Congrats kc
Good to see you KyleHD. How are things?
Finally got a new job. I'm so happy to be out of unemployement land.
Any new assignments on the horizon? :)
@Davidw thing are well.....hoping the sun will come out soon, but that's life in Seattle!
@GHung
One issue with the droid app is that it does not seem to save the user login so you must login each time.
In addition to the Royal Wedding, there is a big weekend for Miss Catherine Middleton's birthday on Sunday, May 1st. The same day celebrates Pope John Paul's Sainthood around the world.
That's outstanding news sbeasla. Happy to hear that.
I'm sure we're going to have some new assignments soon.
Here's one big thing that's coming up tomorrow --- the space shuttle is launching, so if anybody's going to be there, we'd like to hear from you http://ireport.cnn.com/ir-topic-stories.jspa?topicId=503822
Thanks david.
That's good feedback EWillies. I'll pass that on to our mobile folks, I'm sure there will be updates.
Thanks @davidw
It was Shakespeare's bday last weekend. A few friends and I wrote about his impact in our lives. I might post that..
Hi @sbeasla, yes, the wedding will be streamed live on the Android app!
It is nice to hear from you DavidW. I have already linked to Facebook via CNN iReport. Also, I used the CNN Android App for iReports.
@Ewilles & @davidw - the iPhone app has the same problem; doesn't save login info
Hi GHung, I saw your iReport about the beatification of Pope John Paul II. We were talking with our belief blog editor about the ceremony.
I'm curious, did anyone ever meet the pope, or see him speak?
If there are any pirate fans (or 21 Jump Street fans) you might be interested in this one - http://ireport.cnn.com/ir-topic-stories.jspa?topicId=596757
@sbeasla
I think auto-login is an important fix that would be helpful.
May Day is a big month for events. There are Spring festivals. Also, the Mayor elected Rahm Emmanuel will have an inaugural at Millennium Park's Pritzker Pavilion on May 16th.
@hhanks - I saw the assignment to ask to the crew of pirates a question. I love Johnny Depp! I'll be posting soon!!
Hi Everyone!! David, I found out some information about an iReport relief fundraiser for Japan. I will send you a mail with the info.
@ewillies1961 - I would also like to be able to attach more than one photo onto my assignment like you can via the website. If you're submitting remotely, you should be able to send in a few photos instead of just the one.
The former Pope John Paul II visited Chicago several years ago for a Mass Service at Grant Park, now Millennium Park.
Hi Pixel. Good to hear from you.
I let our main mobile developer and one of our producers know about the login issue.
If you have photos or video of the pope's visit, we'd love for you to share them.
I also noticed the copyright on this page still says 2010 :P
Thanks for pointing that out sbeasla.
we've got a ticket in to fix that. Thanks
Here in the philippines, theres a shrine for the pope that will be inagurated. The pope visit that place in morong bataan which serves as refugee area to vietnanese. Theres also a lady here who had embraced the pope when he visited here. Ill try to make an ireport about it,this weekend.
Hola a todos, Hi all over there
Wow, people are so negative. I love the feedback that I get on my iReports but how does everyone deal with the negative comments? Ignore or respond?
I know you can't make everyone love what you write or review.
What other IReport Assignments are coming up?
Hi pixel.
I have exclusive pictures of Pope John Paul II's third visit to my country, the rise very soon Conmoto his beatification on Sunday
Wow amazing @misael
That's a good question sbeasla, with a bunch of possible answers. You can never go wrong by ignoring jerks on the internet, but if you feel like you want to respond then that's fine too.
You should also hit the report violation button if you feel like the criticism crosses the line.
hi misael, we would love to see those photos.
Hi Sherbien : )
Thursday afternoon is a good time for CNN iReport Roundtable regularly. I am glad to hear from you.
Thanks @davidw. I just chose not to respond because I knew it would just bother me.
Glad the time works okay. It's a challenge to find a time that works for folks all over the world.
That is how good are photos are videos and I have one of the talking to all the cardinals in a reunion and I think even makes a joke
Sorry i'm so late, I had to prepare for the wedding by sleeping in....thanks for the congrats!!
Thanks, David. Have a great Royal Wedding Party on Friday, April 29th, at 2 a.m. ET!
Sorry I'm Late. I gotta read the messages here now.
Welcome @KCRep
Welcome @NBN
Hey @KCRep!! Congrats!!
Nice to see you KCRep and J.son.
I've got to run a few minutes early, but it's nice to talk to everyone.
Have fun watching the wedding and we'll talk to you next week.
Let's hear from you next week!
@sbeasla....you GO girl!!!! Look at those views!!!
@KCRep - Thank you!! I want to be like you girl! :)
Hi @KCRep! If you'll be watching the royal wedding live, be sure to participate in some of our iReport royal wedding challenges! You can follow along at www.cnn.com/royalweddinglive.
Hey Henry and David. Thanks for doing these roundtables. You guys and CNN iReport rock!
sbeasla....you are way better than me, believe me. Your writing is awesome!
@sbesia I find that it is best not to respond to senseless comments. If there is a legitimate question your report.. then to answer makes sense. Engaging or Defending one's post doesn't end up really working. it seems to make these internet crazies go even crazier!!
@KCRep - I'm no better than anyone else. We each have our own way to relying a story to the audience and each voice is unique and fresh. :)
@Pixel - That makes perfect sense. I always answer the questions and ignore the negative feedback. :)
Hello, is anyone still here, its 1.45 a.m. here I want to know why can't download the cnn application for LG T540 2.0 version
Bye all thanks!
I agree with pixel, but if the comment is about negative about our muslim brothers, i respond.
Shari visit the android msrket and you can download it free.
Have a wonderful weekend
I asked about the adndroid application about a million times but i have not got any answer.
Sherbien I told you I am unable to download the CNN application
I saw the Pope in different Countries and for me now that he will become a saint I can only say I pray daily to him he is My Pope
Congrats again KC Rep...and good job Sbeasla!
I am all for the royal wedding, lord knows we could all use something alittle brighter in our day right now BUT
does anyone remember that this Sunday is the beatification ceremony for Pope John Paul II. That seems like news that is as important as William and Kate getting married. I would say more important
i missed royal wedding where can i watch online?
The coverage of the Royal wedding was superb. The only problem was with that idiot Quest who kept getting his facts wrong. Could I recommend an orthodentist to him?
Dear David
You asked if someone ever met the Pope or hear him speak. Well I went to Rome and heard him speak a few times and I also sent you guys a report with a photo that I took in 1983 when he came to San Marino. He certainly had a dominant and captivating personality. Now whether you are or not a believer you must acknowledge this.
Those 3 reports still haven't been taken out.
Ciao
Annamria
