Reviews for CBS

Freezes after numerous long commercials, then makes you watch them all again, then returns to the show several minutes beyond where you left off. When you try to use the timeline on the bottom of the screen to go back to where the show left off after all the commercials, guess what? You get the […]

Won’t play videos at all after latest update. Keeps saying I need an internet connection. The same connection let’s me know which videos are available in the first place. I’ve had CBS apps since long before Paramount Plus was a thing. I’ve tried all the tricks. Still doesn’t work. I’m not a programmer but I […]

9/3/21 I appreciate that the app is free and I can still watch my shows anytime without paying. (Hence the 2 stars instead of 1.) However, it crashes all the time and I have to constantly reload it multiple times during the episode. Very very frustrating! ***Update*** 8/26/23 It’s 2 years later, app still sucks […]

What a joke. I downloaded this app then couldn’t do anything unless I sign up for their service when your supposed to be able to watch episodes after they air. I definitely couldn’t do that. Tried on my TV but adds kept repeating or restating several times, and the show would freeze up, sometimes started […]

This app is design to not work, to force you pay for the subscription. You get a few minutes of an episode, after watching several commercials then it starts buffering and eventually kicks you out. After which you are free to start watching the same commercials from the beginning, but you’re never getting past that […]

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 about the issue and obviously don’t care. There is no way the 4-star average rating is accurate. Just more shady practices from giant corporations that […]

For the past 2 days, the CBS App continuously closes out when I attempt to open it on my Android cellphone. Yesterday, after it repeatedly closed out, I cleared the cache, and after that didn’t work, I uninstalled, and then reinstalled. After numerous attempts, it finally opened. Now, today, it is back to not opening. […]

I would rather give a -5, but it isn’t an option. I’ve been trying for a week to watch the Oprah special with Harry and Meghan. It crashes every single time. I watch 5 minutes of ads, 4 minutes of interview, and BOOM. Error, please try again later. I sent an email for support a […]

Too many advertisements in a special I’m watching. 4 or 5 ads 5 times already, and I’m not even halfway through this 1.2 hr special yet. And after the last set of ads a second ago, an error occurred within the show, and closed. So, now I have to go back and find where I […]

Giving it 2 stars because there is still a lingering issue from the previous CBS app that is still very much prevelant on the new updated version, and a new reocurring issue that just started to happen 2 days ago. One; the app still freezes from time to time during ads, and that freezing carries […]

I downloaded this app so I could watch the new season of Survivor. Ihave yet to be successful in viewing a single episode. It just randomly stops and when I get it to start up again starts at the beginning of the episode even if I’m 25 minutes into the episode. In order to get […]

Constantly freezes: This app used to be great, but has become incredibly frustrating. It freezes every time there’s a commercial, and the only way to unfreeze is is to exit the app over and over again, and then wait 5-10 minutes while hoping it will unfreeze unfreeze of getting an error message. As a result […]

App is awful. Slow. Doesn’t respond. Will load adds on my TV but keeps saying something went wrong when it comes time to play the shows. Not worth 5 dollars. Not worth 1 dollar. Awful. Not to mention you can’t login with a TV provider anymore. Have to purchase the app. Also says it will […]

Another garbage app from Paramount. I only downloaded it to watch new Survivor. Using the free episodes function, I need to watch episodes within a few weeks because they get locked out after a while. They play ads, which are tolerable in length. My problem is the app’s inability to retain the spot in a […]

Ten commercial breaks in an 85 minute program. Lag and sometimes crashes, after which it didn’t remember where I was, so I had to watch a commercial, tap to very roughly where I thought I’d been (because while casting it wouldn’t go horizontal, so the scroll bar was tiny), more commercials, then get to resume. […]

I haven’t tried to use this app in months because the constant loading was annoying. I updated it today and decided to try it. It took me 10 minutes to watch the 1st 5 minutes of an episode with loading happening every 5 or 10 seconds. Then I got the error message that the episode […]

You have a good choice of action drama movies. But I can’t watch them because the commercials freeze up till they kick a error message. When a error message kicks up, it starts the movie back at the beginning. When I get to the second set of Comericals it kicks the error that starts the […]

What a complete piece of junk. It doesn’t remember where you left off in a show. That’s a problem in itself. But that also means when you scrub forward to find where you left off, it forces you to watch 5 commercials. And then if that’s not the right spot and you scrub ahead again, […]

God forbid you watch something on your phone and have to actually use your phone. I tried the free version out to get an idea, but there are SO MANY COMMERCIALS I couldn’t get through one show on this app. If you minimize, sometimes it starts the show back up, but mostly, it likes to […]

Ads always freeze. If you have to stop watching, including when ads freeze,, you can’t just pick up where you left off. You have to try to remember where you were. Scroll back. Watch 4 more ads hoping if won’t freeze again. You get back to it. Ads come back, freeze again. Sooooo frustrating. Service […]
