Using the service requires users to log in with an active TV subscription, and unfortunately it's U.S. only. However, once logged in, you'll have access to live streaming of CNBC as well as a back catalog of on-demand content from shows such as Mad Money and The Profit.
If you've never used the CNBC app for Android before, it also lets you track stocks in real-time from a number of global markets, access interactive historical charts for stocks, and even brings breaking news coverage with push notifications.
If you fancy yourself a financial guru, you can hit up that Google Play badge above to snag the CNBC app and start streaming live content to your Android device.
