Just doesn’t work
I got it for CarPlay. At one point it was great. It may have been my favorite CarPlay app. But now the app is nothing but ads. So the only thing that works is listening to live radio. None of the other features work anymore. I sent a message to the developer. But they haven’t updated the app in almost a year.
Very glitchy app
First of all, the news content itself is very good, and I’ll continue to use this app even though it has a lot of issues. One of the biggest problems for me is that it will pause in the middle of a story, then another story will start playing after it resumes. Secondly, two news stories will play simultaneously after you close the advertisements during the startup of the app. These problems have been ongoing for awhile now. For a mainstream news media outlet like CBS, you would think that they would have better app designers.
Terrible app that should be much better
Developers: Start over from scratch and make a good app. For one thing, there is no way to pause or stop play, even by minimizing the app. There is no way to close it, except by opening an app like Tunein and playing something. The most recent broadcasts are not available, and usually only one is. It is absolutely terrible and reflects very poorly on CBS.
Auto-Play Broken
When opening this app, the auto play opens to two simultaneous audio streams. Unusable. I would like there to be a clear setting in the CBS News Radio app to auto-play only the hourly news update on app launch / alarm clock wake-up. Is there a way to enable this?
Doesn’t want to work
Just like that office temp with an attitude problem, this app just doesn’t want to work. It keeps saying there’s no internet connection despite the fact all my other apps are connecting fine to the web (or more precisely the three other ones I tested out while getting this message from this app). Since you won’t be paying a dime you might as well see if it works for you, though
CarPlay is a mess!
I’ve used this app in my car via CarPlay to get the hourly news and half hour updates. Though a bit buggy, it’s generally worked for quite a while. It has not worked properly since iOS 15. I can get the live feed, but all the recorded news shows as blank. It’s not that it won’t play. The CarPlay app doesn’t even show the podcasts. They are still on the iPhone app and will play from there, but I don’t access my phone while driving. That’s what CarPlay is for.
Glitches
Where to start. Takes forever to load and at times won’t connect to internet. Podcasts won’t load properly. Downloaded podcast will not play. I NEED THIS APP FOR CLASSROOM USE. I have used KCBS for 35 years and I am now having to use the ABC news app as a replacement. PLEASE UPDATE.
