Charges you $9.99 a month. I only want this because Xfinity (my local cable provider) doesn't air local channels on my phone. I'm an Ohio State fan in New Mexico and pay $150 a month for cable and internet. That doesn't include our phones. An extra $9.99 isn't justified here! I love football but f××c. I don't like being bu×× f××ed! When did local channels start making you pay? I have premium channel apps on my phone along with local channels. CBS sucks balls anyway!

Not worth the download Soooo don't get me wrong, im thankful 2 have gotten to watch the episode of TBBT however after factoring in all the constant buffering & 2min commercials every 5 mins I'm deleting the app. I would rather pay $1.99 on YouTube or find it free streaming anywhere else then go thru this ever again. This app sucks!!

CBS app The following problems are in all versions of this app. Welcome to the app with missing episodes and seasons on most series listed in the lineup. Also welcome to a black page with white letters, an audio-only screen. I don't know anybody who wants to pay for and watch a black Audio Only page. This is the most ridiculous concept I have ever seen. Fortunately this is the only app that does this to my knowledge. I would rather watch a blurry screen then not be able to watch the show that I am looking at.

No live football!!! I never write reviews but I am so pissed. Getting all excited thinking I'm gonna get to watch my favorite team play to be shut down. Cannot stream this live program. Absolutely ridiculous u find this out after subscribing to their BS. So I am allowed to pay for basic cable and watch it but can't pay for the app and watch it. Asinine.

Free Trail is fraud and Can't watch football on live I TRIED to download the free trail one week trail to watch the football game to decide if I would like to purchase for full time use. But as I clicked on free trail it asked for my credit card saying it was for it I decided to get it but after I entered all info it. I received a notification that I was just charged the monthly charge to my account. Such garbage. Advise a free trail and not give it. Secondly they advertise live t.v. for football but they don't let you.

No more ad bugs Paying for ad free should be ad free! I'm paying $10 a month for ad free. The app should NOT! have ad bugs spouting spyware crap at the bottom. The damn thing is in the way and flashing. I personally can't believe anyone at CBS thought this would be OK. UPDATE CBS has now added a commercial when you launch the subscription service app that you cannot skip period this is just stupid! My money is about to walk because of this crap.

Keeps asking for same update Won't let me watch anything. Keeps asking for new update. Have already just updated it. Now five minutes later doing it again. ...no way would I pay for all access, this is a big problem. ...the next is the crummy commercials. Yuck. Waste of data, time and money!
Couldn't even sign up First of all, why can't I just log in through my Direct TV account like every other TV app? I already pay for your channel, shouldn't have to pay for it again. Second, your sign up process is awful. To input a birthday I had to manually, month by month, scroll back 30 years through a calendar. How about give an option to type it in. Lastly, once I went through all of that, I get a message, "We are unable to sign you up for an account at this time." WHY? Worthless app.
FIX IT! FIX IT NOW! I would give this negative stars if I could. This is one of the most frustrating apps. Too many ads for a payed service. Poor conectivity, freezes all the time, especially with chromecast. Easier just too find episodes elsewhere. Won't spend another dime on this.
Great app! CBS gets it right. They allow you to watch new episodes the day after they air instead of having to wait a week like ABC. Their commercials are short and to the point, 3 instead of 6 with ABC. The app plays well and doesn't freeze up. Thank you!
Not worth it... CBS is so arrogant, that they think their streaming service for one channel is worth as much as all other stations combined! And even after paying for the service, you still have to sit through just as many commercials as if you were watching it live. The only alternative to sitting through all the commercials, is to pay twice as much for the service. Don't waste your money!
How the he'll do you cancel this service? I get an error on play store when I try to cancel the subscription. Can't find any kind of option for mobile purchases on AT&T. No option in app either. Very ticked off right now. I don't want this service and don't want to continue paying for it. Do not sign up with your carrier account.
Unreliable Froze multiple times and never remembered where we left off. Played commercials when going backwards trying to find our place again. It added an extra 20 minutes to how long it should have taken to watch.
Chromecast support broken!! A recent update to the app broke Chromecast support. If you watch on your device, you're fine, but if you want to watch on your television, you're out of luck. For a paid service, this is an unreasonable bug and should have been fixed right away.
No NFL Football :( Signed up to watch the Packers and to prepare to watch basketball only to find out the football games aren't available. Don't know about college bball yet. I'm very upset this was not mentioned before signing up. It should be easy to say "NFL games not available due to licensing restrictions." Come on CBS.
Ads killed it Every time you fast forward they PUNISH you with two minutes of ads. So if you aren't at the right spot and need to go forward again, that's another two minutes. Uninstalled. Improve your app so that it at least detects when I've already sat through two minutes of your ads in the last few minutes and let's you navigate freely for a while.
UR Right! You are right, too many ads. I'd give it 5 stars if they would do away with all those ads. The ads are boring repetition. I pay for the shows, why am I paying for the ads too?😭
It works ok It's great I can watch shows with Chromecast support. I don't like that most shows just have the recent episodes. The compression is really bad, both video and audio.
Lousy quality as others note The commercials look stunning. The program, on the other hand, gets severely pixelated every time anything moves. CBS could fix this. It obviously does not care. I used to watch a program with this app during the previous season, and it was much better then.
Dedicated area for myCBS I like the new layout but I miss having a separate place for MyCBS. I liked having the list view over the scrolling view. Lu's there are times that the MyCBS doesn't show on the list of shows to view. Making me hunt down the shows I want to watch. Pretty useless app.
Won't stay open Downloaded quick. Tried to open it 3 times, each time it stayed open for a few seconds then closed itself out. Was real excited to watch full episodes on this but just gonna uninstall now.
Bad audio I love the app concept, but it has horrible quality especially audio and there's no rewind button. Fix those and it would be worth paying for. Until those are fixed I will cancel once the free trial is up.
Too many ads and disconnecting Love the app though it is disconcerting when it stops and goes back to the CBS screen right in the middle of your show and you have to keep restarting it after ads and if it happens during an ad you have to watch the ads all over again! Will give five stars to make the app more stable.
Horrible App!!! 1st off, this app only offers 4 TV providers to choose from (non of which I have ever heard of even though CBS is a local channel here in Birmingham, AL) so it requires me to pay $6 a month to stream live TV FROM A LOCAL CHANNEL even though I already pay for this channel through my TV provider. 2nd, the sign up process is ridiculous (I won't even get into all of that). And 3rd, THE QUALITY IS SH#T. Fix all of this, then my rating will change
Should be named Some Access Good: old and new shows, live TV through the net, low price. Bad: many episodes missing, lots of commercials, recent shows unavailable on whim of whoever runs this app. Uneven but has much potential. I would pay more for FULL access, should such a thing exist.
Great if you want to watch shows the next day. Even after updates live stream is horrible. Live stream sucks. Stops and starts. Very anointing. Not sure it's worth the money.
Had the app for a few months now, even paid the $6 for the subscription and it was working fine. All of a sudden it starts saying Insufficient Bandwidth, but every other app I have works fine. Thinking it is time to cancel my subscription,what did you screw up CBS?
Horrible I paid for this because I wanted to watch BB...non stop problems...constantly saying they are experiencing technical difficulties. I even called them. They tried to say the problem was on my end...BS...I've never had a problem with ABC...NBC...Fox...FX...just this.. I recommend don't paying for it if you decide to get it...they make it very difficult to cancel the subscription also!!!
Mehh Consistently poor quality, excessive commercials, and is not working correctly with chromecast. When you pay for a major network app, you expect it to work at least half the time you use it.
Stupid Well if ur in Nebraska no need for this app. It won't work for live streaming.. good job CBS.. thought you were a big company.. guess not
Streaming issue When watching a show it will go dark and all you hear is audio, says my bandwidth is too low, but I can watch stream Netflix and Hulu without any issues, there is a lot of bugs with this app
Try again. I will not pay to watch TV that shows commercials. You are a broadcast channel. If you offer live or next day shows I will be happy to watch them and the commercials. Think of the coverage you could offer your sponsors. Your viewership would explode.
Horrible. I feel like I sold my soul to use this app. A complete joke...they CHARGE you, and it can't even save your spot in a show, or remember which episode you were last on. The (last watched episodes) are episodes I watched months ago. I literally feel disgusted with myself that I continue to use it, first world problems. **Oh awesome, I updated hoping to correct some issues...only to find out now it won't work on my chromecast. LOVELY! BRAVO CBS!! -_-
So I paid for garbage This app is the worst. Always updates all the time and still doesnt work worth a damn. Almost like updates just mess things up more. Im so mad i paid but i will be cancelling AGAIN for the last time before Im billed again. Im going back to the Green one :) bye bye cbs
Too many commercials! I mainly use this to watch big brother and it is a shame that the app doesn't wprk.with the live feed flashbacks. It seems like a simple fix to add that func5ionaloty. With big brother OTT 9t is even more important to have flashbacks.
This app sucks Freezes all the time. Have to restart app and then when you click resume from where you left off, the video starts about 20 minutes behind where you actually were. Try to fast forward and guess what? It Freezes again! Don't waste your money
Bad play Commercials play fine episodes constantly buffering have to stop and resume play all the time. Why would a consumer pay to stream shows when it takes forever to just get through one single episode.
Terrible app, needs fixing Several things bug me about this app. First, during the sign up process, in the birthday field, there was not a way to manually enter in the date and it just popped up a calendar with the current date on it. You then have to scroll through the years by month only! Next, I selected an episode to watch that happened to be part of a 2 hour special. saw the first part already so tried to find the beginning of the next episode and since the bar is so small, kept missing. Every time you get 2 min commercials.
Warning Warning the Cbs subscription is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to cancel. Warning warning. Do not get the subscription, it's a scam you will have a hard time figuring out how to cancel. Cbs should be sued for fraud.
Having problems The cast symbol is gone, I don't know how to cast this to my tv. I know how to with the cast symbol, but don't know how to get the cast symbol back so I can cast it. Please help
