App review.

Best news , great reporters Thanks. 🖖 Thanks for asking but no. Still the finest.

CBSNewsApp

I love this app. Reading my news is so much more enjoyable then watching it on commercial TV. However the new font format is way to small. Could u please enlarge it. Thank u for keeping me up to date.

No dark mode

Prepare to burn your retinas as you read how the world is on fire. Really helps you feel as one with news coverage. They sent a response that they will pass this note to the dev team

Best News Apps By Far!

OMG! Multiple Stares Live News in A Single Apps. I wish I can play/Watch 2-3 States News at the same time, single feed in volume.

Solid app

Easy to navigate. It’s nice to watch the news from different parts of the nation. Great reporting as well.

Good for national news.

It’s nice to have for national and world news. I would like to see more local news channels. The cities they picked are not close enough to KCMO! I would give you 5 stars if you had a Missouri station. Preferably Kansas City which I’m closest to, St. Louis would be fine too.

Love the app!

CBS has always been my only news, from Walter Cronkite till today in 2023.

Where’s Weather???

Love the ability to see news from other cities. WHERE IS WEATHER??? I’ve used CBS Weather app for years. That dies today. Where is weather in this new app?

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 y

Trust this - It has a perfect balance of fact based news

Title says it all. I trust this source. I've been using CBS to get most of news for a few years now. The app runs fast and works well with my iPhone. Love it!

Rating

I consider your format the best of all and I hope you never change. Finding what I want to read is so easy. The things I want to read about is what is going on in our world today. Tom

The Content is GREAT - but the LOUD, DRUM-DRIVEN , SHOUTING ADS are TOO MUCH to Endure!!!

This is my favorite app for network news, but GEEZ what a price to pay, to have to LUNGE at my phone to MUTE IT against the freaking ONSLAUGHT OF NOISE that is their RELENTLESS ADS!!! I specifically pledge to NEVER avail myself of their advertisers’ products or services, specifically BECAUSE they are advertising this way. STOP IT!!!!!!!

Does not support dark mode

Somehow an ‘80’s fad for paper white display became the norm and the slow transition back to the proper way to render text and graphics on light emissive devices still has many stragglers :-/

I need help please

I need help from my job they’ll paying mafias to shoot me

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!

Ok but buggy

Ok app but it’s buggy.. sometimes the inserted ads just pause the commercials and does not resume until pressed play.

To kill a mockingbird

I read this book in grade school and loved it. Very interesting and helped to think forward. I am now a retired electrical engineer !

Half news, half misleading advertising

I’m completely frustrated with this app because of the predatory, misleading “advertisements” on this site. I can not fathom how or why a news source would sell advertising space to fake diets, celebrity “news” clickbait, and phishing sites. FOCUS ON THE NEWS!

Face the nation

One sided political view the woman is hateful

Lacks updates during days. Little news on app on weekends

See subject line sabotaging

John Dickerson 💕

So excited to see our favorite journalist John D with his own prime time news show! And with top-notch guests like, Michael Morell (because Intelligence Matters)! This show is now added to our daily news playlist. Thanks!

Trustworthy

I believe this app is very good. I've always loved the CBS station. I'm getting less enthusiastic about the CBS News. I feel like it's similar to FOX in the way that the newscasters use so much drama in their voices. Walter Cronkite was the last of the non biased journalists. It is NEWS. just read it and be HONEST in your reporting.

Too Many Ads

Five ads then 5 minutes of content, then five more ads. Really?

Great app!

Good to see CBS go after CNN & Fox w/ streaming !

Dark mode would be very helpful.

Even with brightness down the screen is so glaring to read in the dark.

Mostly great

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.

App crashes after 2 mins now

Worked fine for YEARS. Fix thi and update cbsnews. Its prettier but crashes every 2 mins

CBS Sunday Morning

Today, April 10: Thank you to CBS news for stinking to a news focus on this very concerning war in Ukraine for the beginning of the news instead of jumping into feel good or celebrity news. Patricia McKee, Virginia Beach, VA

Videos

Too many videos. When I am out and about and want a news update, I can’t play videos in public places. I would much rather quietly read a news story.

Visionaries

Perfect app, I love it
works perfect, we use it through Apple TV 4K. I wish Fox would have an app like this free.

CBSN

I watch this a lot. You’re the best mobile app.

Up to the minute info

I love this app the information is exactly what I need and is my go to source period all others pale in comparison

Great Reporting

The reporting is top notch. I like he ability to increase text size for easier reading.

Where is the share button?

The CBS News app is great but there are no share buttons! Want to share your amazing stories with all my friends and the world.

Tony & wages

Thank you so much Tony for mentioning that Costco’s new wage (or any businesses $17 an hour or less )is not truly a living wage. People really need to hear that $35,000 a year you mentioned doesn’t Buy you a home or security.

Woke

I just found this now I’m new!😊 madras

I can't believe it's free!!!

Amazing up to the minute news coverage convenient on my phone!

Could not find a search option

Looked for but could not find a search option

“Radio” Function Not Working

I typically like to listen to the news when driving to work, and lately the “Radio” option has not been working for me. The switch will act like it turns on and then goes right back off. Please fix this! 😁

New App

Just awful!!! Also, can’t email segments to share with others.

CBS News

I got this app because I wanted to watch “Bring your own brigade”. I started it yesterday, went to finish it today and can’t find it anywhere.

great app needs search feature

I was trying to find something I previously saw on the app but couldn’t find it I can’t seem to locate a easy search feature. This is disappointing

3 Negative User Reviews for CBS News: Live Breaking News

Poor home page

I can’t even read the whole title of articles on the home page—it gets cut off because of the design. I don’t open the app to read four words of a headline sentence.

CBS news

This needs work. It jumps around when trying to look at a news or other subjects. Im taking it off. Frustrated!!

Font size no longer follows phone settings

I have large font enabled for easier reading. It has been working as expected as recently as a few days ago but today when I open a story the font size is small.
