## Newest reviews (2 of 14)

### 1/5 — Buggy and unstable

*2020-07-03, version 1.0.16*

Won’t stay open on iPhone running iOS 13.5.1
Seems to be geared more towards ads than news.

### 1/5 — Needs major work

*2020-05-23, version 1.0.16*

Terrible app, keeps cutting out.
Needs major work.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — WJZ News - Baltimore weather section

*2024-05-01*

The Baltimore weather section is not nearly as useful or focused as the previous stand alone CBS Baltimore weather app. Combining weather within the News app & reducing the content is a really disappointing downgrade. I’m only interested in a comprehensive & succinct weather app - not in a news app with weather lite buried within.

### 1/5 — Too much information

*2023-04-02*

When you want weather, you want it quickly (as with the old app).  One does need all the other information- only if one is looking for it.  Found it time consuming and confusing, if I wanted the news would go to news app!  

Local CBS channel 13 has changed direction and not for the good.  Has been our go to station for many, many years however, not any more.

### 1/5 — Highly disappointed!!

*2023-03-25*

I don’t like this app because it does not have the weather tracking map that was in the old app.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2022-08-01, version 1.5.0*

This app is so frustrating. I get a notification of a news article and when I click on the notification to read it, the article is not there most of the time. Stop wasting my time searching for something that’s just not there!

### 1/5 — No longer opens on iPad

*2022-03-15, version 1.5.0*

Doesn’t open in portrait nor landscape mode.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling didn’t work. Gave up and downloaded Fox 45 and Abc 2 to watch local news.  They both work.

### 1/5 — Doesnt deserve 1 star

*2020-07-27, version 1.0.16*

keeps crashing and its absolutely annoying... delete!!!

### 1/5 — Glitchy. Slows whole phone down.

*2020-07-12, version 1.0.16*

Whenever I open this app, my phone freezes up and I can do nothing but close the app to get the phone to work normally.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2020-07-10, version 1.0.16*

Very unstable on iPad.  Once you try to double click an article, it crashes.

### 1/5 — Worst of the Baltimore News Apps

*2020-07-06, version 1.0.16*

The app is slow, unstable, and generally poorly designed. The previous WJZ news app may not have been best presentation, but was much, much better than its replacement.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-07-03, version 1.0.16*

I had the CBS app and replaced it with the WJZ-TV local news app, problem is it opens and asap it closes itself, don’t waste your effort on it until they get it fixed. Now I can’t reload the CBS app, this “poc” loads instead.

### 2/5 — WatchNow

*2022-02-04, version 1.3.0*

The video no longer works in landscape mode. The video cannot be watch outside app. Please work and improve this app.

### 2/5 — Runs on iPad in iPhone size and orientation

*2020-06-30, version 1.0.16*

Tolerated on iPad, does not support landscape orientation, runs at iPhone size. For a new app, this fails to meet developer requirements for device screen support. It should be marked as an iPhone-only app until other device support is added.
