User Reviews for CBS News: Live Breaking News
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.
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.
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.
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.The whole world put their trust in to these officers I believe in these officers and trust them so many black life lost there life before they can live out there life What has happened to Him was uncalled for who are they took take ther life away from there family or from even there children These children are there legacy Not Once Did Any One Of These Officers asked him for any form of ID no insurance or registration they just open the door and pulled him out like he was an animal His a human a person some once father,son,husband he’s someone that matters in this world like every one I did not even hear ,these officers read him his rights. He was no even given a chance to ask for a lawyer.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 jobThank u Miss G.Sanchez
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.
Lost my article-again! 😩
How about a “Previously Viewed” button with a list of each article that a viewer has opened? Maybe an option for those who don’t want that to opt out of or hide?Rationale: Like so many other apps, it auto refreshes when you go back to it - even if you left it open. Only problem is that we are busy people.It may pop a notification at the end of my lunch break, which I open to an intriguing headline that I want to read. But it’s back to work, and the phone is ringing, people are pinging me on Teams for assistance in between handling tickets (I’m in IT). Coworkers are stopping by to pick up a headset or cables, or to drop off failed equipment. Then I go to troubleshoot a printer that I can’t reach over the network, and before I know it, the workday is done.Now I have an errand or two to run on the way home.By the time dinner is consumed and the kitchen tidied, I’m exhausted and brain dead. 🥱 I have totally forgotten that article as I sit down to the evening news and reruns of MASH. 😴The next day, I take my buddy (our dog) on our morning run, and remember the headline! 😃However, so much has happened in the interim that I can’t quite recall the subject. 🤔 When I get home, I open the CBS News app, and it loads to something else. 😩
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!
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.
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.
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.
