Not good.

On iPhone, when I click on an article in the newsfeed, after I finish reading the article, thereโ€™s no way to get back to the newsfeed. The tiny back arrow at the top, left side of CBS12News rarely works. Itโ€™s SO small, itโ€™s useless. Also, when I click on some links in the newsfeed, CBS12News redirects me to the Safari browser, opening Safari on its own without my permission. No app should EVER redirect to another app! If I wanted to view CBS12 news and related content in the Safari app, I wouldnโ€™t have downloaded this (CBS12 News) app in the first place. Unacceptable! Aside from the redirecting issue, CBS12News is not iPad-friendly. CBS12News does not support landscape-mode on iPad, making it useless to me. Iโ€™d love to see these issues fixed, as I enjoy following CBS12 news on TV and online.

Disappointed

I get the headlines accross my phone as they occur, however using the Ipad is a total waste, you cannot access any menu or stories, just the 6 page how to use and an irritating message to tap the menu to get the stories, a menu that does not exist. So I know the headline, just not the story

App has gone bonkers!

Your app now takes me to CBS12News Store whenever I open it and tries to get me to download various other apps! It will not let me read any news articles!

News feed sometimes is force feed

The new owner of channel 12 is Sinclair Broadcasting. They demand that all the stations they own run biased news stories or be fired. Sinclair owns over 70% of all television stations across the county. A free press is critical to the health of a democratic society. Sinclair puts democracy at RISK.

The new App for iPad/iPhone is the pits!

Most difficult app to navigate. Not user friendly. Worst App among news apps in Florida and around the country. The live stream keeps freezing and the sound goes on and off every 3-4 seconds....

Too many alerts

Way too many alerts- unwanted unrelated to my area! Even after I turned off the alerts, they still kept pouring!! I had to remove it to stop the alerts- good ridence!

Lackluster app

Great news station but HORRIBLE app!! Can't publish a story to Facebook from an iPhone 4S with IOS6. There is no link to report a problem. When you click on the individual journalists it implies you can contact them but no you can't.

One Word - BAD!!!!

Forget CBS12News for news. Weather is a joke. Sound missing on weather vids - but sound fine on commercial before the vid. App does not work & it is useless as a news or weather tool in your life. Use another stations app.

Really no update

Well at least it doesn't crash now since there is no links to stories. Just a single button for an ad. Very poor now gives news for komo Seattle Doesn't any one check these things?

Not good

Breaking News from CBS12News will show a notification ending in mid sentence and when you click on it to get more info, CBS12News opens with no info, and often none for the story for 1-2 hours. Now breaking news alerts all have commercials. Deleting.

New Update Is Terrible

People who use CBS12News want to READ the news. There are only 5 articles posted that are actually text. The other 30+ are video segments that take too long to load. Not convenient at all. Better off going on their Facebook page and being able to click on the articles themselves.

Selective reporting

CBS12News and this so called news organization is nothing but an arm of the DNC. Not one word about Bidenโ€™s racist statements.

Biggest eat story was Trumps weight and Pelosi comment.

Itโ€™s fake news are and they are the enemy of the people.

Cat declawed

Did you know that cats carry a bacteria that causes still births in human women. Of course itโ€™s not that easy to get infected. Unless of course the pregnant woman gets a scratch. Oh my!!!!!!!!! Nut cases. Oh yes itโ€™s very common and every cat has it!!!Yes yes. I for see more then law suits for these supporters.

propaganda / controlled by leftists

i tried to use CBS12News for local news but couldnโ€™t find a way to hide from crazy propaganda and narrative that leftists try to use to create delusional people

Irma

We were listening to the reports on the hurricane when the person speaking in Spanish was cut off. This I find very rude by your station management. This should never happen when the Hispanic community is also in need of information.

Alert with link to main page not helpful

Why send me an alert which opens your ap if it's not going to take me to the story??? Very frustrating to have to search around for a news story. I usually give up and go elsewhere.
Other parts are OK - if you go there to browse news or weather

Not useful

CBS12News does not give me the news/ reports; the ads are certainly there. Was out of town and tried to catch up on the local news but that was virtually impossible using the WPEC (CBS News12) app. I can understand why the rating is so poor.

Glitchy

The live news feature worked fine until a recent app update on my iPhone 5 "s" The full screen feature does not work when I turn my phone horizontally and the on screen control buttons for the live video are too small. Sometimes the live feed does not work at all. Use WPBF25 app for live news it has better reliability and interface.

Weather crashes app

Would love to use CBS12News for opening weather, but crashes. Please fix.

Needs work

The trouble with CBS12News and many other local TV news apps is they will send you an alert on a breaking news story but when you click on the alert, CBS12News doesn't open to that story but to the main screen. You then have to search for the news story which may or may not have the same headline as the alert. Fix this annoyance and CBS12News will be excellent.

Love the app but has a bug

The new update has a bug that forces it to close. Please fix cause I can't live without CBS12News . Love channel 12!

Great info

The news info is timely and correct. However the notifications show updates for days after story is done? Please fix. Thanks. And your weather app is awesome

Best Station

News Channel 12 is the best news station. The most unbiased and neutral station that I have found. Informative and they even have the balls to call out or laugh at obvious and ridiculous reports. Morning crew is my favorite. Keep up the neutral reporting!

Wonderful

Great news app!
