Keep stop playing after each news update. Keep stop playing after each news updates. And all the news live broadcast shows the same new reports and all live channels, They all the same. For example, Bay Area, and cbsla and Denver, and Colorado show the same broadcast! Y’all should be showing news from that area y’all in! Again, the same news report I watch on cbsla for LA, it’s shower again on the Bay Area channel. Make no sense! And y’all shows the same thing over and over again. Repeats. It doesn’t seems live to me at all after a certain point. It’s a good app, but can be way better than it is! Thank you.

Solid, But With Annoyances. I 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.

Very Buggy. This 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.

Real news presented by professionals. I 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.

Update lousy. I 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.

Annoying pop-up. The 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.

Move that stupid SHARE button OFF of the PAUSE BUTTON!!!!!. I have been enjoying the CBS News app for YEARS - it is my favorite among network news apps, and I have watched it A lot! Even purchased things from your advertisers from time to time. But I DON’T DO SNY SOCIAL MEDIA OR EMAIL ON MY PHONE! And it’s gotten to the point, with your new “marketing trick” of quickly inserting that FREAKING ANNOYING SHARE BUTTON - EXACTLY in the center-of-the-screen location where I USED TO be able to PAUSE the news video, while feeding the kids or answering a phone call, that I DON’T EVEN WANT TO BOTHER OPENING YOUR APP! So I’m sure ONE viewer means NOTHING to you, but if any other extremely news-oriented yet also extremely busy CBSNEWS app users (like, BOOMERS WITH MONEY) are reacting the same way I am, you’re going to LOSE a LOT of ad viewers!!! FIX THIS STUPID MISTAKE ALREADY!!!

Justice. My 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.

What happen to his form of ID his insurance or the registration or given his rights all of that blew a away once they open that door and put there hands on him the whole world needs to know justice fail him Black white Asia Chinese Hispanic no matter what race one may be Justice system should never fail these people of where we call home keep up the good job Thank u Miss G.Sanchez

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.

Mostly great. My 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!)

Design nightmare. The 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.

I used to be able to watch a news clip at a time.... Why did thay change it to be one clip then back to live news. What’s the point of that? This used to be a great app. Now, without a way to view a particular clip or control options, what’s the point? I want my choice to view clips or live news back. I would be willing to pay for it by subscription, but even that isn’t available. I see one clip and I’m done...On to someone else’s app. I used to like CBS news because of the focus on Quality over making a buck through advertising. Very telling that content and quality isn’t as important to decision makers. I am terribly disappointed. Sunday Morning is unique, and a favorite. I will miss it.

CBSNews app crashing.. CBS news app that I’ve had for at least 5 years now, closes within seconds of my attempting to open it, after the latest update. It worked great before. Well actually it worked as good as it ever has. Normally, it has long pauses with every video report I try to watch. Many times when the video freezes, the audio continues to play). This is all very frustrating because CBS is my favorite news app. I think the reporters are honest, fair, unbiased, and report many sides to controversial topics. I have tried everything I know of to try to fix this issue, but nothing works. HELP🤯

Doesn’t save progress, too many commercials. The 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.

Blocking the Screen with Useless Video. I 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).

worst app news ever. The user experience is terrible, scrolling and browsing around is bad. Videos don't update in the main view. Currently says I have to update to version 3.7 to continue using the app, then I'm transfer to the app store where there's no available update. I deleted the app then downloaded the app again, appstore asks me if I want to download an older version, I accept as my ipad is old, then open the app and again I'm forced to update to version 3.7 ad infinitum and ad nausea. You should keep providing support for older versions or alert me you no longer support my ios version and not misleading that I MUST update it and ending up not being able to use the app anymore.

Volume Leveling. I (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.

Commercials. I 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!

Outstanding Real Journalism From CBSN. Let 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!

Gives the News Primary Position, Keeps Fluff to Minimum. Unlike 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.

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!

Average. The 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.

App runs great, here’s two things they need. I’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.

Content is there if you can find it. Very 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.

App. It’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

Questionable contributors. Why 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.

Love CBS News. I 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.

No search feature. First, 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.

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!

Bookmark collection in app over 10 years gone in an instant. I 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.

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!!

Opinions of One. I 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???!!

Please see additional notes. Overall, 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

Finally some news. I 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.

Repeat, Repeat, Repeat. I 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.

Love coverage from so many cities but glitchy. I’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.

CBS gets it: Best video news app. To 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.

Need to differentiate articles that are video only. I 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.

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.

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!

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

Deleting app has issues. Let me start out by saying if I have an app that sends a notification about a topic and I touch the notification and am brought to several articles and not the notification topic I selected I will delete the app from my phone. That said I experience this with the CBS news app. I had a couple notifications from this app and when I clicked them I WAS NOT brought to the topic the notification was for. To make matters worse I clicked the article I was interested in and was taken to a totally different topic. I selected another article I was interested in and viewed it. You guessed it not the topic I was trying to view. Time is money and I do not have time to sort through poopy apps. This app will be deleted. As a second remark generally it is highly likely a not so great app will have adverse effects on the phone as possibly battery drain or other issues. Goodbye useless CBS app.

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.

Scant news content; abundance of self-promotion. The 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.

Best free live streaming news app available. Kudos 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.

CBS Morning News Quality and Diversity. First 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!

Black screen. Tried 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.

I don’t watch TV backwards. I 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!

CBS morning 5/3/22. We 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”!

Unable to Disable Alerts. I 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.

Keep up the good work! 👍🏻. I like the app. Living outside the US, it’s hard to get live coverage from the US without using VPN but not with this app. Most news stations around the world aren’t free or geoblocked but not with CBSNews. It’s free and not geoblocked. Because it’s just News! Thank your for that. I really enjoy watching the news as an American at heart (having family there) I want to know what’s going on there too, when living in Europe or Australia. Wish other News stations around the world would do that too. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

NO SEARCH BUTTON!!!. Hello, this is CBS, Welcome to 1996 we don’t know what a search button is, we have endless resources but we don’t know how to put a search button on our app! Júšt wowww

get rid of the ads. remove ads landscape is a must font size change button is needed

.... giving it 2 stars because you can’t search anything!!

Best Live US News app available in Australia. Reliant app, relevant coverage with all the US politics hacks in Australia need! Mostly use the CBSN 24 channel, though I do recommend flicking through to CBS Los Angeles and NY during there prime times.

Good Intuitive interface - nice mix of news areas covered - BUT NEEDS LANSCAPE MODE. A good app, well polished, but seriously why no landscape mode for stories, text, images or video!?

V2.2 Crashes at Start-Up. Another app rendered useless by lazy upgrade developers. I'm running iOS 3.1.3, like many iPod 3G 8GB users.

Crash. This app continually crashes. No landscape bites. Should have known this app was rubbish....I mean, well, check out their dud anchor!!

Biased news. In todays world it’s sad that biased news be anywhere. In its self it resembles election manipulation!

Don't bother. Parochial US-only trivia. Constantly crashes. Can't turn off those annoying push news alerts that arrive early in the morning. Re anything local (eg weather) repeatedly gives error banner that where I live "doesn't exist". If you're not a CBS news junkie living in New York, avoid this piece of rubbish.

Bad update. It was my favorite free news channel, until the casting function stopped working.

Too. Many Adds!. I respect to be subjected to some adds but the Paramount Plus plush is really annoying! Over and over the same adds...I got it “The Road West Was Paved with Blood”!!!

Canot access the news. What go is your app if all I get on my iPhone is a blank screen???

CRAP. Crashing all the time

App. To much advertising

Please stop trying to force us to vote democratic. It will backfire. I feel threatened and bullied when I see this information. Please let us make up our own minds. We are so tired of having you feed us false information to force us to vote Democrat. It’s going to backfire

Awesome!. It’s awesome and good informations!

CBS news app unstable. As of April 30, 2010 the app just shuts down. You start it... It updates the news stories... And it crashes... I now use CNN. Great when it worked.

We don’t care about your politics in Canada. Almost every day... at 12:30..” you put on these stupid “ special report “ of something to do with your politics .. we in Canada do not care ... it doesn’t affect us .. please think of this ... I think it’s terrible that you interrupt a tv show that we pay our cable to see ... if we’re interested in all your politics down there , I’m sure if we cared to know, we could read it in your paper ... stop doing this .. makes us furious .. your news is not only in the U.S.. it’s sent to Canada too . Where I pay to see this channel ..keep this up, and I’ll stop paying for your channel

Fake news. Fake news

Useless. “Live” feeds are dead and don’t work.

Repetitive. Is it necessary to have the same ad 3 times in a row? And the same ad’s for over a year. The news is pretty repetitive too.

Weak and slanted. Where is the Hunter Biden laptop story and his crooked fathers crime operations?? This is Not a news company just a silly mouthpiece for leftists and Marxists! Shameful!

No Search Feature?. With so much going on, Search is critical for time management! Bryana’s story can’t be found?

Excellent. Excellent news cast. Thanks

Keep reporting an unpartisan view on US politics. Like it very much

Crappy. What a crappy app. Aside from the news articles which are generally well written and informative this app is so slow loading and even reading pages jumps unexpectedly. Like really guys, you can't even get smooth scrolling text pages?! Oh yeah it crashes! Quick fix is to add the mobile home screen from the internet and bypass the crappy app and ads.

Search function?. Why is there no search function?

Chromcast ???. The most recent update does not have chrome cast.

Don't waste your time. This app just crashes over and over!! Frustrating, because it had great content! Just can't get to it!!

Awful program!. Hate it - it crashes all the time.

CBS LOS ANGELES. Live coverage is non existent- this app SUCKS. I would hope to see live breaking news coverage than TRUMP. Done with cbs Los Angeles- moving to NBC or ABC. Sad to be missing out on STU’s amazing coverage. He is like no other broadcaster.

Excellent on IPad. I have always loved Sunday Morning and the interesting topics it offers. Now I can have this peaceful and informative quiet time with stories that are educational and entertaining. No need to miss anything now with this app.

Jumpy cbsnews. This app jumps ALL THE TIME when scrooling. Annoying to the point I simply deleted it. Too bad.

No Chromecast. Needs Chromecast support

48 Hours no longer plays on ipad. 48 hours and only some of 60 min shows now play on ipad app

Video streams never works. But at the same time “previews” works without sounds If we activate live radio (CBSN), we can get the sound.

Performance is top notch!. App seems faultless!

Very Unstable!. Works for the first few minutes and then shuts down to your homescreen without any warning. VERY annoying. This needs to be updated & fixed asap!!!

Lacks settings. Articles are displayed in a miniscule font size and which is hard on the eyes. Unlike the NYT app, font size can't be changed. Also unlike NYT app, orientation cannot be changed to landscape. The news articles seem ok, but overall this app isn't even close to the NYT app.

Crashy crashy crash bang. Ya confirmed. Many many crashes to homescreen on my iPhone 4 with 4.0.1. Avoid until fixed.

Crash Bang. Worked pretty much fine till April 28. But now loads then crashes every time you go to click on a story. Completely useless till it is fixed!

Crappy But Salvagable. CBS 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.

Pretty good. Pretty good ap

Works. Yes this news app is very stable and well laid out

Liked the older version much better. Videos often don’t play. Layout much too busy for iPad.

Disappointed. I’m sorry- I was excited to see this app but it looks like it was rushed. I don’t expect to watch advertisements before a clip. So disappointed.

It used to work well. I like how advertisements are minimal, but you should be able to close them. The articles show up very well, including the images. Scrolling through news stories doesn't work (anymore)! It's kind of useless when the same articles reappear.

Informative & Works (most of the time). I experience a few crashes when the app launches if viewed & accesses from the notifications section of my iPad. It typically works quite well if launched directly.

Ridiculous. Ridiculous

Crashes. 0 stars, can't access. ...

Commercial breaks. I 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.

CBS Sunday Morning. Amazing to have all this at your fingertips. Just would love to find a ‘share’ button easier as some of the clips are a ‘must share’!!

Runs so slowly!. Feels unfinished. Not polished. Slow to navigate.

Best for constant live news.. Excellent app. The best for ongoing live news.

Good app. I have no problem with this app, works just fine

Great news desk personalities. I’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.

Started to crash on May 4 - still crashing July 1. Still f&$ked on May 5, moved to trash Reinstalled June and crashed as soon as OK location, back to trash

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Current News, Not Abstract. CBS provides current information at all time. The team appears to be coordinated and the news are not too abstract, thus making viewers feel present in the occurrences. Reporters are always present where events are taking place, no matter how dangerous the environment appears to be. My only suggestion is that, presenters or newscasters should try to conceal their political affiliations in order not to sound biased to viewers. Otherwise, the network is doing a fantastic job. More grease to your elbow.

Video freezing. I love the app it has great news coverage and very up to the minute reports. However anytime you try and watch a video the picture freezes and the voices continue on. I at first thought it was a problem with my player but upon further inspection I don't believe it is. You can attempt to fast forward or rewind and the picture never changes. Would love to be able to watch AND listen to the shows that they put on this app

So close to a 5 star app!. I truly enjoy this free app for all the great information it provides but my main reason for watching is "SUNDAY MORNING". BUT, the "closed captioning", because of the delay, it is extremely irritating to be constantly showing on the screen. You cannot turn off the CC feature using the area of the app where you can normally turn CC on or off. It is there, period! There are times that SM shows things on the bottom of the screen and you cannot read what is there because of that darned "always on" CC. I'm sure the delay isn't a bother to hearing impaired people but for those of us without the impairment seeing this constantly without a way of stopping it is terrible! Come on app creators- don't force this badly timed Closed Captioning on us. Give us the choice to use it or not.

To CBS. Always watchCBS news think pretty disgusting how onMonday morning on the 5:09am news they went through a half hour of news , then said oh we want to send thoughts and prayers to the family of one of our own , the women who died in a moped accident , sorry can’t remember her name . Just think that should’ve been their main story ahead of all others . CBS just think how her family felt as that was a back page story after all the other news. I guess family doesn’t come first on CBS , ratings do !!! Shame on you . Hope this stays posted for all CBS station people to read.

Annoying and Repetitive commercial will drive you insane!. I like the news and the app, but the commercials they choose to play are SO repetitive and annoying! I watch the nightly news every night and during the 20 minute broadcast, CBS plays the same commercials over and over again, driving me crazy. In the period of 20 minutes, the Chase commercial with Red Hong Yi is played at least 4 times and the Farmers commercial is played the same amount!! I can’t stand hearing the same thing over and over again!

Streaming progress. CBSN, and CBS overall, have maintained high journalistic standards while taking a leadership role in delivering live stream and on demand content that we are interested in following. It is important that the news division constantly strive to present all perspectives whenever possible. We need to hear and understand opposing views. The integration of commercials is irritating and sloppy at times. Short format ads (< 10 sec) in small quantities would be an improvement.

I want a CBSN Headline shortcut. Truley. This is such a great news source and low key in tone - thank goodness. Sometimes you just want the news. Now I have two parts of this app that I use a good deal. Let’s take “Headlines”. I want a shortcut on my ipad that launches the app AND that channel. Quick and easy. Let’s have the ability to put any of your channels as a shortcut on our home pages!

Sunday Morning. Sunday Morning used to be an upbeat and interesting show, full of interviews with people who had made a difference in some way, usually something unusual and informative, if not just plain fun. Now it is full of politicized stories, definitely slanted to the left. This morning I turned it off three times, starting with a Kamala Harris puff piece. Each time I “tried again” it was the same, ending with a comedienne who has made it big at the expense of (yet again) Donald Trump. I am NOT a Trump fan in the least, but have realized that your editorial staff on this show has turned sycophantic and only wants to adulate the left. I’m finished. Buhbye.

Please add ChromeCast and leave it available. I love this app. Please, please put the ChromeCast capability back on your otherwise outstanding app. And leave it there, don’t put it up and take it down. Not having that option to cast on this app forces me to watch you, my primary news source, only on my phone. All my other news sources allow me to stream on my television. I’d rate you five stars if you would restore the ChromeCast option. Thank you.

What a gift!. Several years ago in my last years as a high school teacher, I found this app. It proved to be door-opener for all of us. We were able to compare stories from different sources and share with each other our opinions. Now that I’m retired. My son, who was born without sight enjoy it just as much or more. The fact that it’s free makes it all possible. Thank you for the gift!

Where are the current documentaries?. Can’t find what I’m looking for and help is frustrating. I’m looking the documentary about COVID’s impact on Las Vegas and can’t find it on the web site or in the app. This is being heavily advertised. I found the CBS Reports section but it only list shows from last year. I tried search and got lots of news stories but not what I’m looking for. I tried help and after entering all my information I got an error for not entering sub categories (because none of them made sense). I tried to correct the error but the selection lists were now blank. Arrrrg! Too frustrating to use. I gave them 2 stars because they had all their breaking news available. Of course I can get this information almost anywhere. I expect much more from a major news network.

Hard to use. I do not like this app...what happened to the search function? The search function help me keep up with news that was important to me. Also, your news reporting is completely one sided. You do not truly report what’s going you only report what you want use to see hear. The search function is no big issue but your lack of reporting the actual news and only reporting what you want us to know is the issue. If that issue does not change in 6 to 12 months I will delete this app. Before you try to determine my race I will let you know that I am an American of African descent.

Stopped chrome casting. I love this app and will happily change this to 5 stars but in the past few days it no longer can Chromcast to my TV from my iPhone 7. It will go to the the TV set but will not complete the process and show the program. I checked the other apps including the other CBS entertainment one and they all work just fine but not this CBS News one. Also wouldn’t be nice if the app would allow you to contact them so you can report a problem so you wouldn’t have to do it here. Please Fix this app I get most of my news from it and really enjoy seeing it on the big screen.

CBS takes the high road. Our family chooses CBS because we see it as fair. And we love the app, website, etc. efforts CBS makes. Please don’t change the way you curate news! In particular, few other sources pick up positive stories, which is the real world. Negativity and alarmist news presents an overwhelming angst that is neither true of the world, nor America. It’s a good world with problems...

My go to app for news I have other apps from major new reporting agency’s. My go to app for instance if I just want to read news or have time to I check my iPad . Some does you don’t want to watch tv because they focus on news you can’t use or are not interested in. This app tells the news while others sound like a broken record. Thank you for that!

Great news but app could use some work. I love CBS news, but the fact that live videos are slow to upload makes me give this a 4 instead of 5... Fox doesn’t have that problem, but i want relatively unbiased news, which won’t happen with Fox. CBS please step up your game. Also, advertising could be better managed. I’m not thrilled to have ads but at least if they could vary in the space of a few hours ot would be more bearable...

Love the access, some buffering. This app is a great and FREE way to keep up with international news in the morning when you may not be able to sit and browse online news sites. The option to skip from clip to clip or watch along “live” is great. I say “live” because the clips cycle...so how could they be live? That said, I never have to worry about missing the top of the news because it comes back. Great for someone with a variable schedule.

Great news app the one app out of he original big three network apps that I depend upon. In a world where people choose to disregard news outlets because of how and why they do their reporting there are some outlets that report news for the sake of the public good. News is and should keep people informed and it also provides the little guy the means to tell the truth without fear of being destroyed by corporate or government malfeasance. There still is something called the truth and in the world of spin and bs there need to be someone to turn to that will shine a light on the truth. Shine on CBS and let there be somewhere to tell the truth!

Enjoying news here more!. Heavy news is there for six pm but to stay in touch without getting totally stressed enjoy “CBS news”. There are less upsetting words such as death, fight, anger etc. I remember local community news which made me realize I was part of a community. Not so much these days….would admit that 6 PM news definitely knows how to divide folks. Thank you CBS news!

A Better Relationship. Just went through a difficult breakup. After years of being abused, used, ignored and mistreated by Cable Companies (Time Warner, Spectrum), we had enough and ended the relationship. What would happen to our relationship with the news? No problem! Very much appreciate this ap. We don’t mind the commercials - no more than on cable and we’re not being sucked dry in a bad relationship.

Doesn’t play well with others. The app allows good, easy access to articles, but if you like to listen to music or podcasts while you read, you better play it on another device. The CBS news app will override the audio of you other running apps as soon as you open it. It’s like the app is pregaming for you to watch news clips or listen to advertisements (which it doesn’t automatically load and play when you open it, so good for that). All in all it is a good news app worthy of 4-5 stars if it weren’t for the audio override issue.

Unwatchable!. We love our local CBS and the national CBS…however, the streams are completely unwatchable. Not only are there commercials every 5 minutes (literally reminds me of when Internet Explorer would have pop up ad attacks), but the commercial reel is overlayed on top of the stream. So, if I’m watching a story on The Uplift, commercials will come on…then when they return to the stream, you are not picking up where you left off…the story was still playing while the commercials were playing so you’ve missed the ending of the story.

Can’t share stories I go to from my notifications🙄. I like the app and information is great but when I get notifications about an article, i have no ability to share if I go to the article from the notification🙄. I either have to search for the article in the app which gives me the option. Or I just share through another news service that notifies me and allows me to share without the hassle. This is a minor thing that could be causing you a lot of missed opportunities 🤷‍♀️

My Most Watched News App but…. I have had this app forever and it is my most watched news app since cutting the cord. This morning while I was catching up on the news on my AppleTV, this app started pausing after each commercial forcing me to hit play each time a commercial ends. Annoying!! Fix this or you will lose a longtime viewer. I’m only taking off one star for now but will update if the issue is not fixed.

Food Network Favorites. The videos were so helpful in making these meals and a Special thanks to The Food Network for allowing these videos to be seen to everyone interested in recipes but my only complaint is that the recipes don’t. have have the actual recipe to go buy the ingrediants to make the meal to get in the grocery store to make the meal and how much you need to buy!! Thank You For Allowing Me To Voice My Opinion On This Recipe!!! DannieQ

How did this app ever get an average of 4 stars. I experience all the frustrating things mentioned in so many reviews: adverts I’m forced to watch over and over just bc I’ve searched for where I left off, or when I pause it to answer the door or phone,,, a very limited number of recent episodes available without paying,,, poor quality video,,, and constant mysterious shut downs - right now the app won’t even open for some reason. None of this occurs with other apps, so the problem is not with my device or connection. And this app is primarily for people already paying for cable,,, It’s a rip off.

Great format. Each day I check out a number of news sources, all with apps on my iPad. There are some formats that I prefer and some that are simply unappealing, plain, with no photos, and with a different sense of what is important that my tastes would dictate. I recently installed the CBS news app, just to add to my breadth of reading at first. But after only a few days I found that my first choice, and on some days my only selection, was CBS.

Hazel. The tone and delivery is a direct result of the privilege you have enjoyed your whole life. There is never a ethnic reason for white people to understand a movement that you yourself implemented. Your lack of understanding for an issue the whole world is affected by, is a direct result of comforts that is continually afforded you by Privilege. After reading what you have to say it is obvious that to the contrary you are a RACIST. Deal with it.

Best free live streaming news app available. Kudos 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.

Why I like the cbs news app.... Let’s get this clear from the start: I’m a cheapskate who grew up with walter cronkite and all the true pioneer photo news journalists who earned and kept my trust. I didn’t have to worry about credibility, I just watched and learned. This app let’s me feel like I’m still able to do that. It isn’t cnn-sationalism, and it isn’t faux news. it’s cbs, and that’s no-bs.

Re download app to fix crashes. Used to love this app on my iPad Pro. After upgrading the app this morning it now crashes every time I try to load it. Something is glitchy about this upgrade. Update: I was told by a friend the same thing happened him so he told me to just delete the app and download it again. Now it’s working perfectly. Just a heads up for anyone having a problem with this latest upgrade.

Limited 60 Minutes content. My star rating is solely related to the limited 60 Minutes content in this app. I came to the App Store to download the wonderful 60 Minutes app, which I have used for years, onto my new iPad. Apparently that app, which allowed you to retrieve past segments by year (going back to the 60s), correspondent, or topic, is no longer available, with the 60 minutes content now moved into this app. Please restore that missing content and functionality!

CBS Mobile App News Review. I’ll start by saying I utilize a variety of news apps. CBS news app seems okay, although I haven’t totally, and regularly, explored it. So, I will continue to give them a chance, until navigation for at least crucial news becomes a difficulty circumvented by using other news app options; because who, on the go, has time to search around? If over time, it rises to the surface, and I think it’s useful, I will upgrade my rating. Thank you!

Keeps crashing in between videos. Fixed with update.. When watching on brand new iPad with updated IOS and updated app. Watch one segment. Select another one, app crashes. Reopen app. Select segment, watch add, watch segment, select another, app crashes. Never have this problem when watching on my iPhone. Has been fixed since the update.

Top Class News App. CBS News has had a prestigious history and a strong reputation for delivering the accurate news. This app continues that history in our current age, when our free press is under a most unusual review. I cannot stress enough the high quality of news content within this app. The news streaming option is an added bonus. Thank you, CBS! You are continued proof that journalistic integrity still exists.

Great broadcaster terrible listening experience. The news coverage is excellent. The broadcast team is very personal. I think they do a great job. There doesn’t seem to be a strong bias and the interviews are very well done. The bad parts are the same commercials that repeated over and over and over again. The volume changes are extremely annoying. I have to lower the volume every time a commercial comes on. Further the app frequently freezes. The news coverage is excellent, the app experience is poor

News that doesn’t disappoint. Been with phone/ internet news accounts from Reuters first try at video updates to CNN first steps at news off the TV. This CBS app for my iPhone is intriguing for me at Lunch and a good companion at home to Chrome Cast for the family. So glad CBS nailed it! Finally, I now put their local TV station in my favorites line up on my Dino cable lineup.

News. Disappointed in stories being put on the air about individuals who are already doing very well without the additional exposure. There are more things going on in the U.S. that are more news worthy than what you are airing. First of all you could have come up with a better replacement for Anthony than an ex-jock who has a limited background in world events. You are bringing Tony and Gail down to a level unbecoming of their expertise. I do not know how many viewers you are loosing with this new format, but I for one am losing interest in your show as it is now presented!!

MrsCostaLot. How come you show subjects but when you click on it all you get is commercial after commercials? I could get that playing fb games. A bunch of parents from the peanuts cartoons. “Muwawwanwanwan.” Wink wink I’m going to say it’s kind a like that fake news. Wink wink says it’s going to be there but all you get is mawanwawawa. I totally trust CBS News and love your morning show from New York with Nate and Tony and Gail and Vladimir. 👍🏼🤟🏼

Love this App!. Since I dropped cable a few years ago, it’s been a struggle to access up to the minute news- without having to search and read. I LOVE CBS NEWS! They have lately shown uninterrupted coverage of presidential press conferences, congressional press interviews and whatever I’ve been looking for! Please keep it up! If you broadcast the upcoming impeachment hearings, I will be there!

Progressively Getting Better. CBS is actively engaged in advancing their on-line content, especially their news. It started out pretty weak, but it seems they continue to work to refine what on-line content should be. I've also noticed a positive trend away from liberal to more balanced news. Still have a ways to go, but the evolution is noticable and appreciated. If any of the major networks are able to make the transition from cable to on-line, my money would be on CBS.

Family History. Every since I was a little girl I remember CBS was the channel that stayed on our tv. All the shows we watched was on that channel. The news was what my dad wanted to watch, so had to be very quiet when CBS News was on. Now after so many years have passed, it’s still the greatest news show around. I thank you guys for creating this app, so I can get the news from the best.

Great app. CBS news app is one of the best news apps out there. Breaking news before it appears on other stations regularly, real news not editorialized faux news, and you can watch live all the time. APPRECIATE a REAL news organization and they couldn't have done a better job with this app. UPDATE: Since the app update in July the app refuses to open on my iPhone !! HELP!! Please fix it !!

Great journalists, Horrible app. This is the worst performing app on my iPad. Inconsistent placement of content, inappropriate targeting of ads (I repeatedly get an PG&E ad pop up in another language that I dont understand and this just makes me hate CBS and PG&E), inappropriate placement of video imbedded in a written article (video or picture in a piece on completely a separate topic) make me think that CBS is actually not interested in maintaining a web presence. CBS journalists maybe great but I just deleted this app in frustration and probably wont restore it for a while. I get 100% of news on my iPad instead of TV. Will just go to the app of other news services.

Please stop forced video playing.. I came to read not watch. Can you turn this into and optional setting? When the video plays it takes up screen real estate and the app doesn’t allow it to be scrolled away leaving me less screen space for the words of the article I want to read. I have large font enabled for easier reading but this forced video is degrading my otherwise lovely user experience with CBS.

Good Resource. Each day it is difficult to know who is telling the truth and who isn’t! CBS News Crews have proven time after time to report current events in a reliable and diplomatic way. I have found CBS to be a reliable resource in our challenging world today. Always ending in a positive way helps to remind us that there is goodness, kindness and empathy still left in our communities.

Denied Access with other news sites. Hello! I am new to the super highway of information, and I reply on news coverage when I am settled in for the evening. Thus, I like the use of my handset for convenient (Anywhere/Anytime). Now, when two other news networks denied me access to other news, I decided to delete them and enjoy CBS for real news. Thank you CBS, for keeping it simple. 😊❤️💐

Thank you!. When I dropped cable I missed CNN. Then got Sling TV to get CNN but realized I watched very little else, so Sling was history. Came across CBS News and it has filled the void. I appreciate the continuous coverage of breaking stories without having to pay for CNN. I miss some of their personalities but it’s offset by news stories and features. More live newscasts like the new AM would be welcome but not essential since I don’t feel I’m missing much.

Click on a story, but you get another. The bummer part of this app is the fact that I can click on a story and want to hear it and see it right away and OK there’s an ad or two, well, that’s annoying , but, what’s super- duper annoying is the fact that the story I clicked on, has somehow disappeared, and you’re showing me the story after that one that I requested. So the app is wasting my time at least half of the time I use it. Which is why I may not use it as much IF you cannot please FIX THIS.

Fix the app. Now with the new update you can't read the stories.....seriously isn't that what the news is for??? Too many videos and ads and no news content worth wasting my time for!! Although I really enjoy the news stories provided by CBS, the app constantly crashes and won't load the entire news story!! Repeatedly when watching videos they freeze or the app crashes completely. Please fix it!! Now the most recent annoyance is ads that are imbedded in news story and play on their own!!! Seriously????? Can't we at the very least read a news story without being bombarded with advertising we didn't choose to listen to????
