### 1/5 — Weather app

*2023-03-18*

This is a poor replacement for your weather app.  No longer have easy access to weather map, and the only one for rural areas. 
You seem to have forgotten that the rural areas have no television stations and rely on this app to track incoming storms and severe weather.
Please rethink removing the weather app.

### 1/5 — Weather

*2023-03-16*

The weather information on the new app is woefully inadequate as compared to the previous CBS 11 weather app, particularly for severe weather events.  No access to the weather radar with its warnings and other overlays is a step backwards in capability.

### 1/5 — Weather

*2023-03-16*

Where’s the weather???
Just weather videos a nd a daily report is not going to do it for me. I WANT A MAP! This is a poor substitute for the previous app. 
Same with all the recent changes. Who needs a title page to slide across the T V screen? You have ruined Local CBS.

### 1/5 — New weather app

*2023-03-10*

Do not like this it doesn’t save the cities you look at regularly, you have to type it in each time and  can’t look at radar map which is very helpful

### 1/5 — I don’t like this app

*2023-02-05*

I realized every now & then things need to be updated but this app is far from intuitive like the previous app was. I’m not sure if I’ll continue to click on it or use the FOX National Weather app which forecasts farther out anyway.

### 1/5 — Crashes after update this week

*2022-02-10, version 1.5.0*

Won't work at all now. Didn't need fixing but those software developers have to justify their employment.....so they change code and cause a mess!

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2021-04-08, version 1.3.0*

This was a waste of time! Used search and it gave me anything it wanted and nothing I wanted!!!! If I could I would give it a minus 1000 stars

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless.....

*2020-08-12, version 1.1.0*

If you are going to design an app these days, please design for iPad and iPhone....Do you really have to be told? You’re older app was much better than this junk, unusable. I expect better from a local news source with those big budgets judging by all the space you use on your app for advertising.

### 1/5 — Crashes repeatedly

*2020-07-29, version 1.0.16*

The new app is awful. Cannot read a single article due to it crashing repeatedly.

### 1/5 — Useless due to Crashing

*2020-07-14, version 1.0.16*

Crashes continuously! Very frustrating! Can’t help but wonder why they don’t update it and fix the crashing issue?  

News stories might be great, but I wouldn’t know because the continuous crashing won’t let you read them! If anyone with Channel 11 sees this review, please FIX your app!!!!!

As it is it is a waste of space! Do NOT recommend.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-07-12, version 1.0.16*

Worst local news app in dfw.

### 1/5 — News app

*2020-07-09, version 1.0.16*

Horrible!  Freezes constantly, doesn’t scroll efficiently.  Big time delay to open articles.

### 1/5 — Zero Stars

*2020-07-07, version 1.0.16*

This app is cr@p. I’d give zero stars if I could. It does not work in landscape mode on iPad. Crashes almost immediately. I am deleting it.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE!!!!

*2020-07-07, version 1.0.16*

Who in their right mind would develop an app that will not work horizontally?????  This is NOT the dark ages!  I have reloaded it 4 times thinking surely that was a mistake.  I’ve deleted it 4 times and will not try it again.   So disappointing!!!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-05-05*

The former CBS app was really good. You could change locations when traveling and you could see a live radar. This app is terrible…bring back the old weather app!

### 1/5 — This is not a replacement!

*2024-05-02*

This thing is supposed to replace the CBS DFW Weather app?  It is missing more than half the features of that other app. No thanks - either keep supporting the original app or I will switch to a similar app. I will NOT be using this one.

### 1/5 — Old app. Replacement!

*2024-04-29*

I am going to delete cbs DFW from my phone. I do not like the new weather app. The old weather app is a lot better. I getting tired of have these new streaming apps. Where did the live radar map go. Haven’t been able to find it.

### 1/5 — The WORST!!

*2023-04-03*

Weather tells absolutely nothing about the Weather Alert for Tuesday afternoon, night and Wednesday morning!! I like the old weather app better. I could look at it anytime, day or night and know instantly what was happening. 
Either get the new app up to date or get the old app back.

### 1/5 — Weather App

*2023-04-02*

So disappointed in the new cbs/dfw app. 
The old app was perfect. Very user friendly and easy to navigate. There is no radar on the new app and it keeps crashing. Please keep the old app. I will change to ABC or 
NBC app for weather. You had a great thin
going and ruined it.

### 1/5 — Radar

*2023-03-24*

Doesn’t appear to have a weather radar. The old app had the best radar. I’ll be using another app because radar tells me more about immediate weather live. 
All my nicknames appear have been used or you refuse to allow bad reviews.

### 1/5 — Not the Same

*2023-03-23*

I don’t need or want all that extra news. I’m only looking for the weather. I love the weather app. It was the BEST weather app out there. I love how Jeff Ray’s voice would alert me about the weather. In this new app, I have to bypass all the other stuff and then finally get to the weather. It’s frustrating. I personally don't like it. Like the old saying goes:  If it's not broken, why fix it!!

### 1/5 — Weather

*2023-03-22*

The weather is awful. No radar. The alerts are annoying. Pass on this one, there are too many useful weather apps out there

### 1/5 — Weather

*2023-03-21*

Really dislike the new weather portion of the app.  I watch the news on TV, but USED TO go to the CBS-DFW app for my weather several times a day.  I’ll have to find something different. Booo! Hiss!! This is a bad change!

### 1/5 — Horrible replacement

*2023-03-20*

I’ve used the current cbs 11 weather app for several years and got my family to use it too. Loved the live radar and ease of use. This new app is horrible. Not intuitive. Can’t even find the dang radar. Please, please keep the current app instead of this piece of crap.

### 3/5 — Get rid of the “Load More” buttons

*2022-12-07, version 1.5.0*

The thing that would improve this app is getting rid of the big “Load More” buttons.  It’s purpose isn’t obvious at first.  If you want to keep app load times down, use a “See more” link in each section, like the NBC DFW uses.  This is easier to use and figure out.

### 3/5 — Old news

*2022-07-03, version 1.5.0*

Why is there 3 or old news

### 3/5 — News Updates

*2022-04-09, version 1.5.0*

I like the app but the most of the news is not updated on a daily basis most of the stories are still there from the day/night before
Just needs updating more often

### 2/5 — Is this the most recent CBS app?

*2024-05-09*

I am so confused with the number of CBS apps listings for my iPhone. The CBS Weather says it’s not supported; I have a CBS/DFW with blue background icon, but see a CBS 11 with black background; and a CBS 11 Weather - circling back to it’s not supported.  
What app do I need for weather in the DFW area? Please answer that one question.

### 2/5 — Ugh!!!!

*2024-05-06*

Went from the best weather app around to last place.  Haven’t even figured out why I keep it.  Was always my go to in inclement weather app then this week started getting the your app is no longer supported.  Guess I will just delete and go to another channels weather app.  Will still keep watching on the tv but this is disappointing

### 2/5 — Poor replacement for the soon-to-be-dead weather app

*2023-03-16*

The CBS DFW weather app was great - live radar, hour-by-hour forecast, and the ability to change location to get an idea of upcoming weather elsewhere - very handy when traveling. Ads were unobtrusive. The new app gives a daily forecast and saved videos, along with large ads that are easy to click accidentally. The viewing area is so vast that a general forecast is useless. As I write there are massive storms, hail, tornadoes and flooding just ten miles northeast but I know I'm in the clear because I can see the radar!  Other than that, it's an okay app, almost exactly like the other stations' apps. Meh.
