Description
Been using the CBS News – Live Breaking News app for a couple months now. It’s basically a news app that gives you the latest updates on what’s going on in the US and around the world. Pretty solid if you wanna stay on top of current events.
Here’s what you can do: there’s live video streams of breaking news, plus coverage from local CBS stations in cities like New York, LA, Chicago, and more. You can also read articles, watch clips, and get alerts for major stories. It’s got a clean layout that’s easy to navigate.
Look, if you’re into staying informed on the news, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the push notifications can get a little annoying sometimes – but overall it does a good job of keeping you up-to-date. Worth checking out if you want a reliable news source.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on the CBS News - Live Breaking News app. I've tested a bunch of news apps and this one is pretty solid overall. The local coverage from CBS stations is a nice touch, and the live video streams are great for following major events. The app is user-friendly and lets you quickly browse articles and videos. On the downside, the constant push notifications can get a little excessive, and the ads can be intrusive if you don't pay for the premium version. But if you're looking for a comprehensive news app with a focus on video content, this is definitely worth a download.

McDonald's pop up/breakthrough ads now make it impossible to even scan an article. Unless there's an update to solve this problem, I'll have to give up on CBS news.
I don't like to write bad reviews but this is the worst app you've had so far. It takes me 10 minutes to find the weather you did away with...
This app is not user friendly at all. If I wanted a news app, I would have downloaded a news app. I wanted a weather app, but you stopped supporting...
