Description

Been using the CBS app for a couple months now. It’s basically a free way to stream the latest episodes of CBS shows anytime, on any device. Pretty solid if you’re into watching TV on your phone or tablet.

Here’s what you can do: you can stream full episodes of your favorite CBS shows as soon as the next day, no login required. There’s also an option to sign in with your cable provider to access live TV from your local CBS station and full seasons of shows. Took me a while to figure that out, but it’s a nice extra feature.

Look, if you’re a fan of CBS shows, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a little annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job of letting you watch your shows for free. Worth checking out.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on the CBS app. I've tested a bunch of entertainment apps and this one's pretty solid. The free streaming is great, and the option to access live TV and full seasons if you have a cable login is a nice bonus. And the interface is user-friendly and it's easy to find and watch the latest episodes. On the downside, the ad load can get a bit heavy if you don't pay, and the app does tend to get a little repetitive after a while. But for a free way to stream CBS shows, I'd say it's worth downloading.

Video works fine but the ads buffer constantly and eventually just freeze. I was hesitant to even leave a review because from the looks of things here, you already know...
