4.7 out of 5
No sound

I have several news channels on my pad and have sound for all except CBS21 news app...I have gone into settings..I have tapped on everything I can tap..I even deleted and reinstalled app several times...very disappointed as I would probable delete the other news apps if this one would work.

Terrible

One star is 4 too many for CBS21News. The only thing that remains easy to navigate is the constant ad to become an advertiser. Where is the national an international news? Politics? Too cumbersome to navigate. Dumping app and going with ch 27 news app. Developers should look at USA Todays app for navigational guidance.

Not good

Do not like the new format, please return to the previous.

Does not work

I have deleted and reinstalled twice. Does not work.

Terrible update

I have not been open CBS21News since new update. It consistently crashes. FIX IT!!

New update crashes

App just spins. Tries to load but keeps spinning. Deleted and reloaded. Same issue. Terrible app on iPhone 5.with iOS 7.0.3 update

Really A Letdown

This is a really crappy replacement to the old CBS21 app. Crowded front page, no separation of local/state/national/world news, short articles. Looks as if it was thrown together haphazardly & cheaply. Yuck!

Too slow to load

It takes CBS21News too long to load. I can open news 8, 27 and fox 43 much much faster. It's not worth the wait.

Bad layout

The new layout is pretty bad. I liked the old much more.

This was my favorite news app

Once upon a time, I had a news app that was dependable and easy to use. Now I have to dig through advertising to scroll the news headlines. Time to uninstall and download a different news app :(

Broken and Amateur

This new app is a far fall from the previous app. The weather won't load, the stories aren't separated anymore, and it looks like a geocities site from '94. Whoever made this did a very poor job.
CBS21News is almost completely nonfunctional.

Alerts Do NOT OPEN

On the new release, when I select an Alert, CBS21News opens up, and selects the article title, but none of the articles will open so they can be read. Very annoying, because I cannot locate the article to actually read it. Please fix. I have a iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 10.2.

Crashes initially

Just loaded new app. It starts up and after about 5 seconds, it crashes.
CBS21News still showed as running. Forced it to close, ran again and it now appears to be working.
12 hours later, crashing again!
After 8/9/13 update, still encountering crashes.

New app, loss of functionality

CBS21News was revamped and now when you click on a notification, it doesn't take you to the article. Now there are WAY too many notifications. I received 4 within a 20 minute period and none of them were breaking news, just telling me to tune in. I'm deleting this again.

Much worse than the old version

I liked the fact that you could view real-time radar for the whole eastern US on the old version. It was the only app I found where you could do this and it was extremely useful when on the road. The new app deleted this feature. Now all you get is a replay of the local forecast; nothing up to date at all and of no use whatsoever when away from Harrisburg. A very disappointing downgrade.

Decent App

This is a decent app. I don't like the weird user interface.

Good But COuld Be Better

When connected to a large monitor or TV it would be good if you could make the bar across the top which contains the "Done" button disappear when in full screen mode.

Just ok

Hard to navigate , could use more positive news like helping the community but the afciam aaa Tgujul

awesome!

I love CBS21News! best local news in central pa. a must have!!
