CBS News: Live Breaking News Customer Service

CBS News: Live Breaking News Positive Reviews

CommercialsI understand there will be commercials on a free app. But CBS often cuts into their own segments with ads for their own shows!! It’s so annoying! I was watching a great segment on the influence of Star Trek on Nasa. The host asked Nichelle Nichols a final question and Nichelle’s answer was cut off by an ad for a CBS special on race in America. Also, the ads for CBS shows run for many months. By now I would think most people have seen the shows. I know I have. I love the app for the news service, though there is a lot of chit chat. I understand there will be ads for the free service, just don’t make them so intrusive and repetitive. Thanks!.WilddukVersion: 4.2.5

JusticeMy heart goes out to the Family, My deepest condolences The whole world is in shock , knowing these officers took an oath Does it really matter. This is what they wanted to be since they were a child,there dreams were to protect and make the world a better place and safe place to live. Did those dream vanished once they became officers.

CBS Morning News Quality and DiversityFirst of all, thank you Nate for sharing about the CBS morning news app. I attempt to watch the show as often as I can Monday through Friday but at times my schedule prevents me from viewing. Now that you suggested downloading the app and I have, I will be able to get the topics you have covered. I especially enjoyed the show when you, Gayle, and Tony are the cast members. You three appear to set such a great safe, supportive environment for presenting topics with an effervescent spirit, well-informed about the subject matter, passionate about bettering the quality of life for all people, and I could go on. I also like the diversity that is added when you use the other cast members. You all appear to be family! it’s a pleasure to know that your promotion of diversity creates a better America! Thank you for sharing and extenuating the qualities each of you bring!.GASCNCBMXM3921Version: 4.4.4 (12)

Where’s our southern border?This is actually a Zero star rating not a five star. As our country deals with the massive invasion of hundreds of thousands of people crossing into our country illegally (like that means they are breaking the law, as in criminals) where is the coverage? CBS news has sadly become a joke. With crime and a host of other problems dividing and destroying our country from within, is it really the time to allow hundreds of thousands more into our country? Where is the coverage? With Covid finally coming under control, is this the time to allow thousands more into our country who logistically can’t be adequately tested or treated? Where is your coverage? How about more coverage on this immediate threat to our country! Where is the honest daily coverage of this threat to our country? Come on CBS, how about an agenda of informing the public of this issue!.Jetta JJVersion: 4.3.8

Love coverage from so many cities but glitchyI’ve been using this app since it became available. I love being able to see what is going on in other cities vs just nationally. Also like seeing congressional hearings (CSPAN requires cable) and live COVID updates from the nation’s governors. That it’s free compared to other national outlets is even better as I can’t afford cable. From, for example more diverse stations like CNN, MSNBC. Enjoy anchors too, especially mornings. They also do nice news investigations available on the app. Only complaint is that it sometimes looses its feeds right in the middle of a report, sometimes for hours and switches to another city. It’s not my local bandwidth so not sure what the problem is..Stanleydog99Version: 4.2.4

App runs great, here’s two things they needI’ve been watching CBSN for a few years now and I enjoy their style of reporting. The app used to have CBSN radio integrated. I wish they’d add it back for the times you just want to listen, not watch. The other thing that is sorely missing from this app (probably the biggest “deal breaker for me”): notification settings. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t send ten million notifications or anything, but apps like CNN have customizable options to choose what you’d like to receive and how often. This is really important for someone like me who doesn’t like clutter on their phone. Once they add this feature I’ll be happy..AegshVersion: 4.0.2

Real news presented by professionalsI first encountered CBSN as part of PlutoTV and was impressed by the news anchors, complete coverage, presentation format, and a comfortable level of advertising support. After purchasing my first iPad last year, I was excited to find that CBSN had this dedicated app. I enjoy both the live coverage which streams very well on all public and private WiFi networks that I use. As another reviewer has said, CBS gets it. They have the right balance of access and advertising. They do not trivialize the content or presentation to some mythical short attention span streaming customer. Walter Cronkite would be proud to be associated with this team and this app..GnarlygeekVersion: 3.7.1

Love CBS NewsI love the app. Love the reporting. Love being able to minimize and use the picture in picture mode (PIP). Love being able to read emails, check Facebook or Twitter, or play games while listening to the news (sometimes playing games is the best way to watch the news). Then if something comes on that I want to see, I can enlarge PIP, or even go back to app for more detail very easily. Unfortunately when I upgraded my iPad the other day, the PIP keeps crashing. It minimizes, then just disappears. I am able to use PIP in other apps. I have tried rebooting my iPad and reloading CBS News app. Please fix so I can continue loving CBS News..Terry M 1234Version: 4.1.5

Quality Headline News for Free!I’ve never written a review before in my life. Never! But I had to in light of how impressed I am with CBS’s news AP, that I’ve been using over a year. I remember when CNN used to offer headline news every 30 minutes. This was great because we live in a 24/7 on-the-go world. Unfortunately CNN discontinued this service years ago. Thank you CBS for providing this up to the minute live news streaming. It’s quality reporting. It’s balanced reporting. It’s clear that you’ve spared no expense to make this a top rate outlet for keeping up with local and worldwide news. And here’s the kicker- it’s free!!! Thank you. This is great!.Fan of Good News ReportingVersion: 3.9.0

Outstanding Real Journalism From CBSNLet me be completely honest here. Most of my cable news viewing is on MSNBC. I love their primetime line-up. As good as the opinion and analysis is on shows like All In with Chris Hayes, and Rachel Maddow show are, in the end, all of cable news including MSNBC, are political opinion and analysis programming. For real journalism, there is nothing offered on cable TV. This is where CBSN enters my daily news intake. The reporting is solid and thorough. We get real news from around the country and around the world. This is hard-hitting and in depth journalism. On days with no big-breaking news, particularly no big political breaking news, the cable news anchors look lost. On CBSN I can get thorough high quality journalism from real reporters in the field, wherever in the world they find news. It doesn’t all have to be the latest bombshell news, the latest big tragedy, and so forth. News exists, even on slow news days, and no one delivers it to you like CBSN in high quality professional journalism. An Enthusiastic Five Stars!.Rfrancis1969Version: 3.6.1

Questionable contributorsWhy is mick mulvaney brought on air to ‘contribute’ to important issues? He adds very little value to any conversation. I’ll up my rating once he leaves the show but until then my confidence in the quality of your news has decreased substantially. I do like how your other pundits disagree with him and bring up salient points to discredit a lot of his statements, which is a waste of time and gives airtime to his foolishness. Just have more smart and unbiased people on your news programming. The app works well otherwise and I enjoy having it on many of my devices..Unbearable1Version: 4.4.2 (22)

TRUE NEWS NOT "FAKE NEWS"Outstanding reporting by the most professional reporters. I COMMEND CBSNEWS FOR GIVING VIEWERS TRUE NEWS. THANK YOU!! JOAN. I live in Illinois now. Still love CBSNEWS. That said...I was very happy with the old app. Maybe it’s a case of, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I find this new app confusing. It was overwhelming the first time I opened the app. The old app was easier to navigate. Scroll down and view what news story I wanted to read. Then I could pop into the live news whenever I would see what was being reported live. I do like the larger print. Guess this “old dog” will just have to learn some “new tricks.” Thanks CBSNEWS. Joan, in Round Lake Beach, Illinois.GRANNIE41Version: 4.0.0

AppIt’s a great app. I have always loved CBS news. Of late, it seems more like a tabloid. The Megan and Harry thing has been so over done and I don’t feel like it should be part of world news. Also Governor Como. Knock it off, Trump has done far worse things and I don’t see him being crucified for what he did to women like the governor has. The women involved, have a choice, if you don’t like the heat get out of the kitchen. Tell the person that you think is abusing you or assaulting you that it’s inappropriate and you will go to the media. If it’s that traumatic. Quit the job and MoveOn. My opinion.StlormyVersion: 4.2.4

Mostly greatMy previous review that read “I would really appreciate a “send” function on each of the news stories, so I can easily send them to family or friends, which would only promote CBS” was heard and we can now send relevant stories! Thanks CBS & developers! The only problem is that unless the recipient has the app, they can’t view the full story, and not everyone has/wants the app on their phone as I do. Would be great if they could view it w/o the app (& then maybe the stories will motivate them to download the app!).Loyal Trend userVersion: 4.4.5 (8)

Scant news content; abundance of self-promotionThe free streaming app is okay, IF you tune in for the scheduled programming, like the Evening News, The Takeout, and the morning programming with Vlad Duthiers and Ann Marie Green. However, other times during the day, it's chock-full of self-promotion, too many ads for 'parent company' content, and tabloid-level celeb features. With so many local affiliates across the country to cull actual news stories from, it's just sad to see how far into sensationalism this once great news organization has slipped. However, the reporting, production, and editing teams are a huge notch above the competition for quality and fairness..MiTcHy24688642Version: 4.4.6 (4)

Great!Normally I watch CNN and MSNBC, with CBS low man on the newsfeed totem pole. I truly didn’t expect to like this App. Oh boy, was I pleasantly surprised. The App works perfectly, no glitches. Viewers can watch live news continuously, read the latest news, select stories to view, or choose from a variety of CBS news programs and specials. The political news is fair and unbiased. I particularly like to watch a daily program called “Red & Blue” and the CBS Evening News. CBS has become my Go-To location for news and information. You won’t be disappointed..Ksullie17Version: 4.0.8

Gives the News Primary Position, Keeps Fluff to MinimumUnlike some other news providers, CBS tends to keeps the news front and center, while covering a wide range of topics. Most other providers will skew the news to one political side or another, or engage in endless ‘family setting’ type of conversations that basically make the news people the big focus. The reporters and personalities should not be making news. Just present it to us, please. Don’t want to know about your new dog, husband, baby, favorite coffee, etc..J1328Version: 3.9.0

Very pleased, but for CRYING OUT LOUD....Over all, this app is pretty good but for CRYING OUT LOUD, could we please see a news filter?!? I don’t know of a single news app that let’s the user decide what news they do not care about. For instance, this royal wedding crap. Really. Don’t. Care. I’m getting notification after notification. STOP!! PLEASE! A royal wedding has ABSOLUTELY NO BARING ON MY LIFE AT ALL. Plus, I’ll still hear about it when I manually check the news. I don’t need notifications about it or see it when I open the app. I can’t wait for when she gets pregnant! UGH. Children are born every day all day long but because the parents are royalty my notifications are gonna get taken over by it!!.Nerdy PeteVersion: 3.7.2

Still Love it but...Best national broadcaster news streaming app, by far, on Apple TV. The recent move to increase audio on commercials is crass and offensive. The app needs a knob to control how alerts work, like a set of filters (eg. none, content-specific choices, all) They’re a significant annoyance. Content-wise, The Takeout is great. The CBSN anchors are fantastic. Personally, I miss the CBSN anchors between 8 and 9 AM. Also, it may be an editorial decision, but the national news anchors in DC come off as lightweight/complicit when it comes to holding administration officials accountable to the facts. If alerts were used for real-time fact checking, that might add value to them..CoffinwheezinVersion: 4.4.0

Annoying pop-upThe streaming CBS News App is excellent, if only I could continue using it. I updated with version 3.7.2 months ago. I verified this in the App store, which prompts me to open (rather than update) the app. When I do open, an annoying pop-up appears to prompt me to update the app. Neither selecting cancel nor update allows me to use the app. Cancel closes it, and update takes me back to the App Store. I detest pop-ups anyway, whose sole function is to keep users from doing what they intended. Not user-friendly..Interrupted UserVersion: 3.6.2

AverageThe look and feel of the app is good. However, the alert notification and subsequent opening of the notification isn’t working. For e.g. if you click a notification, it doesn’t take you to the story, rather it takes you to the home page which I thought was dumb!! 4/2/23 - response to the developer question- “What can we do better to get 5 stars” not sure if you have read my above feedback or understood them. If you have, you would know what to do to fix this. If you need further clarification you can specifically ask the areas you need clarity..Xxxxx12345678Version: 4.4.9

Finally some newsI was a serious CNN watcher before they got into a (()$& match with the President and became negative and backward focused in a dynamic situation. Pence was right to speak earnestly and quietly to Wolf Blitzer who felt his head fall into his lap but didn’t change his focus for long. Enough of the bombastic recounting of the ever changing positions of the President in the past few weeks..I am definitely not a republican but I just can’t watch CNN any more than a half hour. I just want direct news. Thanks for offering this news alternative..CwmacmahonVersion: 4.1.10

Dependability is Excellent!!!I normally stay with CBS during a normal night at home because I do enjoy their choice in the programs they air. Also when there is a developing news story I can depend on VBS to stay that story while the news is being made and there are normally updates on such stories as often as there are new facts emerging. That is all I can ask from a. Network. This is not to say other networks donor do a good job. I simply enjoy CBS because of the well rounded programming..MikeOlingerVersion: 3.9.0

CBS gets it: Best video news appTo keep up with these hurricanes, I installed apps from all three news networks. Surprised how challenging it is to find a good one. ABC doesn't have auto live and NBC barely offers a live feed. Only CBS seems to understand that every news app (and there are many including apples own) has text news. That the point of these apps is video, particularly the same live coverage we used to get from TV. CBS news is where it's at..Shaking HeadVersion: 3.5.2

Best free live streaming news app availableKudos to CBS News. I so appreciate being able to have immediate access to current events in real time without having to pay some cable or satellite company for the privilege of seeing what’s going on the world around us. Shame on the other networks for limiting access to their news to cable/satellite subscribers only. I’ve tried FOX News, CNN, and ABC and have removed the apps from all my electronic devices..Pastor Bob PTWMVersion: 3.5.4

Commercial breaksI watch and enjoy CBS morning every morning with Ann Marie. can I continue to watch it until about 10 o’clock in the morning. it has become nauseating that on every commercial break you play the same trailers. Right now is the Fairly OddParents paw patrol survivor, which has been done for months, Joe Pickett, call of duty and 1883.It has come to the point that when it comes on I actually feel nauseous it feels like clockwork Orange. I know this is only a streaming service. But it is the only place I get my news in the morning. Please please please try to become more involved in and change the streaming commercial breaks so that I can enjoy your program all the way through instead of shutting it off constantly. Thank you..RLSTDVersion: 4.4.3 (2)

Great news desk personalitiesI’m a regular viewer and have been for quite some time. The personalities and reporting are clear and concise. My only complaint is that they have been running the same program advertising incessantly over and over again even though it is clearly outdated. It’s got to the point where it’s annoying and often I will exit the app and look for something else to watch..RichardhorthVersion: 4.2.4

CBS News: Live Breaking News Negative Reviews

I love the news content but hate the appI really value and have a lot of trust in quality content and journalism of CBS News in comparison to the other major networks. This app, however, is awful and is in major need of a complete overhaul. Unlike virtually every other significant news app, there are no options to filter or quickly search for news through organizational sections. The options for streaming programs are nice but not a priority for most people who use news apps to read articles instead of viewing videos. The local news section, literally the only other section, would also benefit from coverage of more cities and specific regions (i.e. maybe people living in northern New Jersey might want more news localized to NJ instead of just being thrown under the NYC umbrella). Even the aesthetics are underwhelming and makes the entire app look unfinished. Disappointing for the network historically referred to as the Tiffany Network. I’m not exactly saying Edward R. Murrow is rolling in his grave (although he actually might be for other reasons) but my god, spruce up the app..Sfoster1283Version: 4.7.2

Poor ReportingI thought that CBS could be trusted to report unbiased reporting but you proved me wrong. Reporting that Trump said that he said he was against a woman’s right in the abortion issue is incorrect. To paraphrase he said something like “I will have get to you on that”, and is not a declaration of being against it even with a clear video that CBS provided. CBS however, decided it was. He did come back in a short amount of time with another statement that again that did not say he was against it. I believe that he has stated he was for the individual states to decide when asked prior. He did not say that he was against it, for it NOR has given the stance regarding the states deciding at any time during the report of this day. The issue has been misrepresented and therefore is bias reporting. This was repeated by the anchors. Now this does not represent how I feel on the issue of female rights in any way. I am a well educated woman and do not want my decision made for me by CBS. I thought better of you. It’s a shame that bias reporting was provided. I am disappointed.Neptunes_girlVersion: 4.9.0

Update lousyI was just forced to update to version 4.2.3 of your app. I watch it on an iPhone 6. The previous version was fine. This version it’s not downloading well. It took a couple tries to watch overtime. I tried to watch the live feed and the speakers could not finish a sentence before the video and audio would freeze for a minute or two at a time. Finally I tried to watch a favorite, take out and it would never download just gave me a black screen with the play button but no video, no audio. No change when I pushed the button. Please work on this and create a new update very quickly as you have rendered the app nearly useless at least on an iPhone 6. This update I will eagerly take but I really resent wanting to watch five minutes of some thing and being forced to wait and update the app before I am allowed to do so. A much better method is to alert the viewer that there will be a forced update when they close this use of the app..4MikesellVersion: 4.3.3

Terrible to sunset cbs dfwIf I could leave you a minus review I would. The cbs dfw weather app worked great, faster more up to date than any of my friends, could track weather in multiple cities. The best. It says it’s now sunset and made me get this app. Now I have to sort through articles and ads and I cant customize weather and worst of all when I click on like daily forecast it doesn’t work. Looking for a new weather app as I write this. The arrogance you have is mind blowing who cares about live streaming in Detroit or New York when you live in Texas. If I want local news I can get it in a 30 second internet search. So disappointed. 5/14 - thank you for the response but I do want to clarify, I only want the weather app back. It was excellent. I can’t believe you are no longer supporting it. The current app you suggest I use does not do what it did and is just not in general not very good. From reading the other recent comments. Many share my pain..Just-weatherVersion: 4.10

Weather information is poor replacementThe weather information is a poor replacement for the weather app, which was intuitively designed, easy to use, and I was able to see the local weather forecasts without having to search and scroll. I’ve tried to use the CBS News app for this purpose, but just don’t like it. I use/view weather and news information differently, as I’m sure a lot of others do, and clearly that wasn’t considered. When I want weather information, I’m usually trying to plan my day, so I was to quickly access it, find the latest forecast and what I can expect for the day. When reading news, I have more time and will scroll around a bit more, which is how this app is set up. What a terrible business decision, to drive away users/viewers by sunsetting the weather app and trying to force people to get weather from a news app..Di&PinVersion: 4.9.0

Not happyI used your Weather app all the time and noticed the other day that it was no longer supported and that I had to download this new CBS News app! I am not happy with the change. All I used the app for was to get my local weather. From what I can find on the new app, I have to choose Texas and not a specific location/area in Texas. I have not been able to figure out where I can bookmark just the weather for North Texas. Every time I have opened the app and tried to find the local weather. All I find is news stories or weather videos. Yes I occasionally watched the old videos, but I mainly just clicked on the ten-day forecast to find out the temperatures and chances of rain or the hourly forecast to try and plan my day by the weather. It takes me too much time to try and find the temperature for the day or whether it’s going to rain or not. I usually get frustrated with the app and close it and go to another Weather app..KbntexasVersion: 4.10

Repeat, Repeat, RepeatI once loved CBS and it’s many wonderful anchors, but seriously, it’s like they record 60 minutes of news and play it over and over again! And not just for a day, I’ve watched the same “Dish, Morning Sun, Uplift…” and other programs playing for over a year! Seriously. What’s more insulting is they even tag it as “Live”. At some point I have to ask myself, does CBS actually respect me as their viewer, because I don’t like to be lied to or miss led and that’s seems to be exactly what their doing when they say “live” and I’ve seen the same program half a dozen times before! And before you say to yourself, this person obviously watches tv all day, but I don’t! I watch 45 minutes weekday mornings while getting ready for work, 45-60 minutes 2-3 weekday evenings while making dinner, and an hour or so weekend mornings, and in that time I see more of the same programming then I do new coverage..MynicknameistakensoiwrotethisVersion: 4.4.6 (4)

No search featureFirst, I’m looking for a story that aired less than 3 hours ago. Doesn’t appear in the day’s banner videos, and it doesn’t appear in the crime section. There’re 2 stories from days past about singers Peggy Lee and Alana Haim - but the one about America’s Nelson Mandela, it’s longest-serving political prisoner, Leonard Peltier, just disappeared. My guess is that’s because the Uber-right wing CBS didn’t want its viewers to see the truth about how constitutional violations and lies told by the FBI contributed to Peltier’s conviction, which even his prosecutor, James Reynolds, is ashamed now to have had anything to do with. That, and the fact Peltier’s attorney, former federal judge Kevin H. Sharp, gave the interviewer as good as he got from her, and showed how the FBI’s persistent lies not only lack credibility to this day but also prove they are happy to destroy the constitution that protects each and every one of us for whatever biased vendetta they chose to pursue on YOUR tax dollar..Ashley StearnsVersion: 4.3.8

Solid, But With AnnoyancesI just came back to complain about this, forgetting that I already had several years ago. One well, I guess they don't care, but There's no need to change it: In my few times using this app it appears to be, for the most part, a solid and well-put-together news app. It has, however, a few things that bother me. The first is that I prefer to use the app in portrait mode, and it works well in either landscape or portrait orientation. Unfortunately, when you play a video it switches to a full-screen horizontal view every time. Nobody wants to keep rotating their iPad for every single video so, please, give us the choice of switching only if we want to. Usually, for me, it's not necessary. Also, it would be great if we knew how long a video was before we hit the play button. Nice to know what we're getting into..David B. ParkerVersion: 3.5.4

Black screenTried to watch “Bring your own Brigade” on 4 separate occasions via the internet without downloading the app. Miserable. Each time it died/stalled/gave me a black screen with no buttons/icons to try to resume. Terrible. Downloaded app to try again. Viewing in the app was working very well UNTIL 1/2 way through the documentary. After a commercial I had a black screen for at least 90 seconds then it started the audio but no video (sound without picture). Shut down the app and reopened. I hoped to easily find the documentary and try to fast forward to the point that I left off. BUT there’s NO SEARCH FEATURE in the app. How ridiculous is that? That is beyond frustrating! If you know what you’re looking to view then you should be able to find it easily, aka search..Hazliz500Version: 4.3.3

Volume LevelingI (usually) enjoy using this app on an Alexa Show device while making breakfast in the morning. I’m an early bird so it’s important that I keep the noise to a minimum. Recently I have noticed your promotional bumbers are considerally louder than the programming content and each time one plays I find myself swan diving across the kitchen to turn down the volume. A moment ago I tried setting a comfortable volume level based on the bumper, but when the programming content plays I can’t hear it. Millions (I presume) spent to build this app and it is rendered useless by volume leveling. I’ll be deleting the CBS News app on all devices and using an alternative news source because of this. Let me know when you’ve sorted it all out and I’ll consider coming back. Adios..DaJabberwockyVersion: 4.4.0

This update is SAD!Unfortunately, I have had to edit my previous glowing review to rant against the CBS News app update. What on this green earth happened? The previous app was great! Now I can’t exit out of the livestream without shutting the whole app down, I cannot go back to previously streamed pieces by timeline, and it’s really hard to find articles now. Whose idea was this? When something isn’t broken, you should heed that age old advice and DON’T FIX IT! But please do fix this app now as it’s pretty much unusable. UPDATE: There is a glitch now where the shows cannot be viewed in full screen mode on the iPad. It’s just black after the first few minutes. To view one of the shows, you have to view it minimized, which is a smaller view than your mobile phone. Glitchy glitchy!.Dochacha11Version: 4.2.7

Please see additional notesOverall, this is a good app. It becomes tedious; however, when you want to read a story, and you have to click on read full story. If I didn't want to read the story, I wouldn't have clicked on it. update-This problem seems to have been fixed. Now, however, CBS has joined the ranks of news apps that take you back to the first story so that you can then page down through all the stories you have already read to get to the next story you want. I am sure they have convinced themselves that this is helpful in some way. It is not. No, it’s gotten worse. Popup videos that you cannot x out of have made this app unusable. It should not be this difficult to read a news story. The only solution is to stop using the app.Pc10000Version: 4.5.2

Doesn’t save progress, too many commercialsThe app is great for the fact that shows are available so quickly. However they are almost unwatchable unless you can watch uninterrupted. Anytime you need to step away, you have to reopen the app and try to find your place, and then rewatch all the commercials up to that point. I end up watching multiple times more commercials than on a regular broadcast. I also had an issue where another video was playing in the background somehow so I had to stop the one I was watching, find my place again, rewatch 5 minutes of commercials, etc. In order for it to be usable, it needs to save progress and limit the number of commercials you have to watch on any given video. Something most other streaming apps are able to do without issue..Cougar0104Version: 3.7.1

Very BuggyThis app is the worst. I’m trying to watch 60 Minutes by mirroring from phone to my TV, and it’s taken me over 70 minutes of trying…..and no luck!! Please test your app. Every time I try to mirror, I see a new advertisement and then I get kicked off and the whole process starts again. Now I don’t even want to bother watching the program. And you know, it’s my fault for even trying to watch such an archaic network. So I switched to just watching on the phone. I’m watching all these ads and you can’t even show me the content I want to watch. Just horrible. I’m trying to FF to where I was before. Everytime I get to watch 3 ads before I can even see whether I fast-forwarded far enough. I’m just so frustrated with this. I guess I just won’t watch the show..CHUCKEL999Version: 4.4.3 (2)

Unable to Disable AlertsI am unable to disable these obnoxious “Red Vs Blue” stream alerts that seem to constantly pop off on my phone at least daily. There should be some setting to disable these quasi-advertisements while still letting the real news alerts through. Unfortunately, there is not. Therefore, ALL alerts from this app are getting disabled, and an otherwise decent news app will get almost zero usage given the much better design of USAToday, CNN, ABC News, WSJ, NYT, etc. Sad. If they ever provide the user the ability to actually customize which alerts are received, I’ll consider giving this app another try. Until then, no reason to use this overall mediocre app given the numerous better options out there..CmansAppReviewsVersion: 4.0.9

I don’t watch TV backwardsI have this app through my Roku and can watch TV shows similarly to how they’re presented here: in reverse order. Yeah that’s right, when you watch Face the Nation, for example, when it’s broadcast do they say “we continue now with our Interview with Dr. Fauci” then break to commercial and return with “Now we’ll check with Dr. Fauci on the latest...” or is it done in the *correct* order? This App lets you choose the order, but the App on TV doesn’t. They upload the show with the last segment on the left (or top) and want you to progress to segments on the right which are older. If you try to watch in the correct order (right to left) the volume is decreased to the point where you can’t hear. The app here mimics the Roku CBSN app in this regard. IF YOU DON’T WANT ME TO GO POSTAL, FIX THIS!.MNboundWalrusVersion: 4.1.10

CBS News app is a bad productI have had the cbs news app on my Apple TV for a couple of years. It has been a constant struggle to use and often I just delete it over and over in frustration with how buggy and horrible the app and its interface are. It constantly stalls out, is confusing to navigate, and switches from different interface pages at its own will. I only use it to try and watch CBS Sunday Mornings and 60 Minutes. I say try because it typically doesn’t work after multiple attempts, restarts of the Apple TV and finally deleting and re installing. I would say I am “successful” in watching a program 1 out of every 15-20 attempts. Companies like CBS continue to struggle with keeping any form of viewership alive, yet produce subpar quality Apps and interactive experiences. This should not still be happening and reveals that CBS is still stuck in the 1980’s holding on to their former and well disappeared glory of Dan Rather and Mike Wallace. Those careers perished years ago and so has CBS ability to innovate and deliver a barley decent viewer experience if at all. It’s a shame..NicknamefVersion: 4.7.2

Opinions of OneI guess if I wanted a one sided biased news app for liberals this would be perfect. The morning news group does nothing but promote separation in our country by pushing all things non-trump. Regardless if they like our current president or not they should report and keep their personal opinions out of the story. I have watched this news show for many years and have now stopped due to this news outlets driven agenda. I have also stopped watching all other shows related to this network. Here is a tidbit of information, most people are not liberal ~ USA hating individuals. WE want fare balanced news without your journalist personal opinions influencing the story. What ever happened to journalist reporting facts instead of hidden agendas???!!.09876JuJuVersion: 4.1.15

Content is there if you can find itVery poor app design. This is supposed to be the CBSN app. On Saturday mornings we stream CBS Saturday Morning via the app because our local station broadcasts too early. But most of the time when you open the app it defaults to a list of local stations (not our city) and it automatically plays one of the local stations or it forces you to choose one of the local stations. It will NOT autoplay the national broadcast every time. Randomly, inexplicably, on a whim, the app will actually autoplay the national broadcast. Instead of having easy access to the national streaming of the Saturday morning show, you have to scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN to an odd little grey icon at the very bottom that will get you to the national Saturday morning show. App designers: absolutely, EVERY TIME the app should autoplay the NATIONAL streaming and NOT some local station. The icon to the national streaming should also be AT THE TOP. If someone wants a local station they should have to click on that station and it should NOT EVER autoplay..NWFoodieVersion: 4.3.3

Bookmark collection in app over 10 years gone in an instantI have been using this app for years as a main go-to News app fir 10 years. The collection of bookmarks I had are completely gone in an instant of an update. The white on black type is minuscule and fatiguing to the eyes. All of this creates zero loyalty total and tech fatigue. Those bookmarks were referred to and shared with online groups frequently. Thanks for thinking of the end user. At. All. The app now looks like every other app out there and took away what was valued most with no warning. Update: what some of the sizing was adjusted, the spacing of the type still was not. Please work with a designer to get a correct and useful to end-users. The app still stalls regularly on video play..One yogiVersion: 4.0.2

Need to differentiate articles that are video onlyI prefer to read my news rather than watch a video. I can read it at my own pace, or skim it to hit the main points. If I’m in a public place or in bed with my wife, I can still read news without disturbing others. There are numerous reasons why reading news is preferable. Need to add an indication which articles are video only, or include a filter so I can exclude the video only articles. I suspect CBS does this because it’s easy, they don’t have to write or document the article. Better yet, include a written article with every video so the user can determine how they want to get their news. Used to be my go to news app before the last update, now I no longer use it..Retired2lakeVersion: 4.0.1

Blocking the Screen with Useless VideoI downloaded this app so I can read CBS News stories, not watch CBS News shows. But for some reason, CBS feels that crowding out the text with large video (that is not able to be closed and features un-skippable ads) is what I’m supposed to want. This will get higher scores as soon as they at least allow me to close the video screen so I can read the news. Otherwise this app is borderline unusable to me (I could get the same experience just using the browser which also crowds my screen with unwanted video because the Web 2.0 experience is an ad-ridden nightmare)..Fix it!!Version: 4.5

CBS morning 5/3/22We only watch the CBS network for news every morning. We have for decades! Tony Docopul is a wonderful broadcaster (as is Nate Burlson - Gail interrupts too frequently and talks over people however she is good as well). Today we were so angered by Tony’s opinion of the rights to have an abortion, we stopped watching. We can’t enjoy watching Tony the same again. All professional reporters should refrain from announcing their personal opinion on broadcast news. He went overboard with his personal opinion. We do not share his opinion! We are still deciding if we can watch any CBS news programs again. You may have lost (at least) two faithful subscribers due to his personal “judgements”!.Jenny Wendy and GregVersion: 4.4.0

Design nightmareThe point is to communicate current events. This new design is messy, confusing and a massive disappointment. Tell me the headlines and then let me drill down into the stories. Keep it clear what is news, what is opinion and what is advertising. Seems so simple. How could CBS have gone so wrong? The home screen is cluttered. Stories are repeated in multiple sizes in different sections as you scroll. It’s supposed to be a mobile app. CBS apparently assumes the user has endless speed and remaining data available. Probably not. Let the user decide when to watch videos. The old app was much more organized, clean and easy to navigate. Bottom line: skip this app and go find an independent aggregation app..BoydRTVersion: 4.0.0

Crappy But SalvagableCBS is so far behind you could get real creative throwing the acronyms at the station name. The news itself is a good quality with integrity in reporting with the people that right this app should be replaced with somebody that knows what they’re doing. This is like a first GEN version of an app from a local news outlet, not CBC News. They don’t even have a fine button or any cohesiveness in there layout or consistency. Compare this to CNN or BBC, France 24 Reuters you name it everything is so far ahead even NBC News, ABC News seem to be making progress in the right direction. I just find it pathetic to see bad app programmers at they creating a good live & stories layout & effective advertising. Truly, the reporters deserve better than this..IGoldenDeliciousVersion: 4.4.6 (4)
