User Reviews
Needs to catch up on a lot of basic missing features in 2021.
Constant buffering and crashes. Even after upgrading my internet, this app is practically unusable. It constantly loses connection and dies, especially on my Apple TV. Highly disappointed
I make this short a sweet. I used to love CBS News. But I lost my trust in them thanks to Bari Weiss. However I will continue to support the local CBS News.
Top stories and local news
Many of the pages are only partially loading. Typically the starting pages load but the last half doesn’t load leaving a blank screen as I scroll through the article
Many of the items that come in as Breaking News, simply are not Breaking. There is no way to filter this regarding notification settings. If everything is urgent, nothing is urgent. I believe Dwight D Eisenhower said “What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important.”
CBS sold out, sad this was my favorite source of news and now I can't trust it to tell the truth
App freezes too often. “News” lacks the detail and objectivity one can find on other news apps. Dokoupil is a MAGA hand puppet. Niki Glaser said it best, “CBS News, America's newest place to C BS news”
We have Canceled all Paramount+ and CBS News
CBS is lost! The flag ship of U.S. news reporting is gone. Barri Weiss is apparently blind to the right wing push from CBS ownership. As a registered independent voter I don’t want bias in my news. That is why I have watched CBS for decades (I am 73). I am outraged that S. Pelley has been fired along with so many other storied reporters. I am removing my CBS app on my phone and tablet. I am done with unqualified ownership!
I wish I could block this garbage
Too bad CBS has become like fox a state tv for trump!
