User Reviews

Users like dark mode as a readability improvement, but major recurring issues hinder the CBS News app: constant freezing, disruptive ads, stale or repetitive content, awkward navigation and video UI, and concerns about bias. These problems appear across multiple reviews and outweigh the potential benefits.

Pros

Dark mode improves readability and is a sought-after feature.

Cons

Frequent freezing and performance issues, including during video playback and ads.
Intrusive ads and popups that are hard to close or block content.
Content quality concerns: outdated/repetitive stories and irregular updates.
Poor navigation/UX: difficult to go back from stories, unwieldy video overlays with no close option, and missing features like save/search.
Perceived bias and credibility concerns about CBS News reporting.

Many of the pages are only partially loading. Typically the starting pages load but the last half doesn’t load leaving a blank screen as I scroll through the article

Many of the items that come in as Breaking News, simply are not Breaking. There is no way to filter this regarding notification settings. If everything is urgent, nothing is urgent. I believe Dwight D Eisenhower said “What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important.”
