Every Saturday morning, you guys seem to push sone story about someone having a mysterious medical ailment. All I have enabled is breaking news notifications. This is NOT breaking news. It’s health news, which I have disabled. Do better!
Does not work.
The number of commercials you have to watch to see any real news is just unbelievable. Truly.
No longer dependable, factual, balanced news, but now taken over by Trump cronies.
It was purely a financial decision.
Remember freedom of speech
This app could use an ap date to allow dark mode on Apple iOS. It is horrible to be blinded just by trying to read the news headlines. Maybe that is why users are stopping and going to other news sources. MILLIONS OF RETINAS WILL THANK YOU!
Love the content & political balance of CBS. The inability to rotate the view from profile to landscape format in the iPhone app often causes me to switch to other news sources.
News director is a trump puppet as is paramount owner. Can’t even get a visa. Should be off the air. Too bad for Tony he was good but a maga stove now.
Please keep me on the normal version of the CBS News app
