Horrible

Far left radical news. Never report the truth

Video auto play is so intrusive…

I like cbs news… but their video autoplay interrupts my music and distracts from reading the article… I just use a different news source instead.

It’s good but could be great if…

Money Watch has stock and index prices at the top in a banner. Kinda crazy it’s not. You can’t explode images. You can’t flip your device. This app is great on iPads but sucks on iPhones. Swing and a miss.

Biased

I can always tell from the notification that it’s from CBS.

Can’t enlarge print size

Should allow print size control. Use a font that is easier to read. Photos can’t be enlarged. For goodness sakes - you’re CBS. Get this done.
