User Reviews

Users appreciate CBS 17 News app for its reliable local news coverage, trusted reporters, and helpful weather and sports updates. However, multiple users report slow loading, app hanging on WiFi, and inability to open the app at times. The weather integration has lost favorite features from the old standalone app, and national/news updates are limited and infrequent. Users also wish for an option to disable video auto-play. Overall, it's valued for local coverage and trustworthy reporting but needs improvements in performance and features.

Good coverage and trustworthy reporting, appreciated during events like Hurricane Florence.

Cons

App is slow to load and can freeze or hang, especially on WiFi connections.
Incorporated weather functionality lacks features of the old standalone weather app, such as location-based radar and expandability.

National and world news is infrequently updated and articles are brief compared to other apps.

Recent reviews

Like keeping updated on local news but it doesn't keep up the the live broadcasts. News around the south, national news updated 2 to 4 times a week, not hourly or even daily
