Bad

This app is not good you can’t watch anything when you’re from Europe

Hangs up signing in with TVprovider

I’m trying to watch the NFL this afternoon. The CBS app wants to sign in with my TV provider (Hulu). I tap continue, and I get a spinning wheel and don’t get a game.

Why

Why would you let me download it when I’m not even in the US? Why is it on the UK App Store??

Getting to know the characters

The plots on the shows may sometimes be a tad bit shallow, but they are good. Thanks for trying to keep the shows somewhat clean.

The bold and beautiful, the young and the restless and beyond the gate

I enjoyed those episodes and I enjoyed every moment of it. I wish they would give BB a hour just like the Y&R.

Very bad

AirPlay is horribly broken. And when it glitches out, you have to restart the playback and watch two sets of ads.

Current Shows

Being able to watch current movies and shows for free is awesome. Thanks.

No Able to Continue Watching

The app is no longer allowing me start a show where it left off. It will start the show over from the beginning. And if I move it forward manually to where I left off, I am having to rewatch the ads

Password function does not work

App never recognizes my email or password despite resetting several times. Can log into the web using my email and password no problem.

Total satisfaction

CBS APP more than expected.

Nonfunctional

Cannot connect my TV subscription with the App. Have tried on multiple devices and deleted and reinstalled the app. Nothing works; this is useless.

Not as good as other apps to watch tv shows

It keeps going to upgrade and then open app and then back to update or upgrade. WTH

It’s ok…

The app is great don’t get me wrong the only thing is that 1 there are too many ads and 2 if you wait to long you can’t watch a episode of a show and if you want to watch the episode you HAVE to have a dish or direct tv to watch it

So Bad, I’ll Never Pay For Paramount Plus

After they made me change my password three times, the stupid app still wouldn’t let me in. Supposedly, there are shows you can watch for free, but I can’t get CBS to let me do anything. With all the problems with changing passwords, I have no confidence that I’d do any better with a paid subscription. I give up.
Show more

Ridiculous amount of ads

Watch two ads when you start, then the intro of the show you’re watching plays, then they play five more. Hard pass

cbs app tv link list just spins

Since 9/18/26 when I try to link tv provider no list comes up just spins
Please fix

App not working

The app is currently not loading anything at all. Both on my phone and Apple TV.

CBS App - watched Big Brother

Excellent view quality to watch Big Brother with the CBS app on my iPhone.

Propaganda

All ads and propaganda. Brainwashing the world and making money off you while they do it.

60 minutes

don’t be afraid to be courageous give me something to think about. I don’t always want to agree with you, but I don’t wanna lose your independence.
