User Reviews

The CBS 8 San Diego app is praised for reliable live local news streaming, unbiased reporting, and multi-device accessibility without cable. However, most recurring complaints focus on a major UI regression in which topics and a search/categories feature are missing, leaving a chaotic Top Stories feed. Users also report landscape/rotation issues on iPad, intrusive ads with poor volume balance, notification glitches, and occasional instability after updates. Overall, a strong local news tool but with usability and reliability problems.

Pros

Live local news streaming with long broadcast hours (7+ hours on weekdays).
Excellent, unbiased local reporting with professional journalists.
Works across devices (phone, iPad, PC) and is a solid option without cable.
Breaking alerts are timely and appropriately spaced.
Overall reliable access to local news and weather.

Cons

Loss of topic navigation: no search, no categories; only Top Stories.
No landscape support on iPad Pro / rotation missing.
Too many ads / intrusive advertising and ad volume balance issues.
Notifications are buggy or overly pushy (watch live prompts).
Stability issues after updates (app may refuse to open or become unusable).

Recent reviews

Used this app for years and just installed the “downgrade”. Completely unusable now. Will be looking for another local news app. You really blew it.

I missed a story about SDGE changes, “News 8 Working For You” and wanted to see it. There is no search, no categories, no nothing on the app. Just scroll and scroll, all the way doren to the old news stories from weeks ago! And nothing about “News 8 Working For You”. Crazy.
