CBS News Bay Area Reviews

Horrible!! Phone freezes every time I use the new app. Won’t use until bugs are fixed.

Video not there all the time. Really slow booting when the video IS there.
I downloaded this for one reason and one reason only.
Mary Lee and her weather.
No Mary. No me.

Does anyone even test these apps before sending them into the wild?

Old app was better. This doesn’t rotate for horizontal viewing. Don’t bother and if you have the old version, keep it!

App doesn’t work, freezes, can’t find stories that were on tv. Disappointing.

by Kwege

CBSNewsBayArea is worthless unless you are interested in 3 day old news. It doesn’t update its news stories.

Please fix this bug

Made me delete a perfectly functioning app that worked really well on my iPad. This one is made for phones and is unwatchable on iPad because it won’t rotate for landscape viewing. Just one more reason CBS is in free fall. Local and national news is so biased and opinionated it is becoming unwatchable. People are getting feed up with the stations agendas being rammed down their throat. What every happened to fact based reporting and investigative reporting?

The developers couldn’t be bothered to make CBSNewsBayArea iPad-compatible. If I wanted a tiny iPhone-sized screen, I’d run CBSNewsBayArea on my iPhone, not an iPad Pro. Deleting until the developers get their act together.

User interface is very bad. CBSNewsBayArea is disabled to work with Airplay devices - this should even be allowed on CBSNewsBayArea Store

I would give zero stars, I old version was much better. I cannot access CBSNewsBayArea now. Going to watch another news station.

Keeps freezing my IPhone because it keeps updating its ads or refreshing articles.

“More news” button unresponsive as it updates sliding ads.

Scrolling is fine as it already cached.

Even after switching out, it prevented my iPhone to doing anything as it updated the ads in the background. Once I swiped it off, my iPhone got back to functioning property.

I removed CBSNewsBayArea completely.

CBSNewsBayArea crashes consistently every time after 10 seconds, right when you have just begun reading a story that you had just received a notification about— total “tease” 👎

by PjTwisty

Your previous app worked great. This one is a real loser. Can’t even read any of the stories because CBSNewsBayArea shuts down after three seconds. I only get the headlines from the notifications. Deleted it.

The new app is horrible!! I’m so disappointed because this was the best local news app. For some stupid reason, they updated CBSNewsBayArea so that it’s only good for iPhone and not iPad. I’ve deleted it and I have to find a decent local news app👎👎👎

I really miss my cbs news but CBSNewsBayArea isn’t formatted to work on an ipad.

by GreggySF

The previous version linked the teaser on the home screen to the actual story. They made me dump that version to this piece of crap that dumps every link into the station’s home page which rarely has the one it linked on the first 2 pages of results. And of course erases the original story from the home screen

This new app crashes all the time. Might as well see NBC Bay Area for a much better app experience.

The first version of CBSNewsBayArea freezes after loading making it impossible to read any stories. It was even hard to close CBSNewsBayArea as the entire phone slows dramatically. iPhone 8 on latest software.

The latest update seems to have addressed the stability problems. Hope they’ve learned from this, they never should have released the first version.

The original app was unusable. This one works fine and is current.
