The new update to the app is fantastic.
Iβm having to delete the app because itβs forcing me or trying to force me to accept ad tracking.
Names are wrong on the icon versus in the app.
Littered with adds. Pop up notifications that arnt linked to any story. Not worth your time.
no realtime news even though they did pass on a NWS tornado sighting. Apparently noone is actually working outside of a scripted studio setting.
This app is never kept up to date. As more and more people depend on news apps to keep them notified, this is unacceptable. Do better.
The kid game Commercial ads are not appropriate for the work place.
Weather is the only thing that ever updates.
Information always behind
Inappropriate spam ads. Do we really need to see ads scattered throughout the news articles of women in disgusting poses or ads that do not pertain to anything concerning our area?? Shame on you!! This is supposed to be a news website. If you need to advertise, please advertise local businesses or realistic wares that readers might need or use.

This app does not work!
I need hour by hour wind forecast like the old app that Sewell sponsors
Itβs great thank you for everything these past 15 years! God bless. ππ
The app has not been opening lately!
App is not loading and they added ads as soon as you go in the app.
I have been using the app for a couple of years. This is a news app, so I assume it should not be political. Right now there is a pro-Trump link over several parts of each page. I will stop using the app, going to Ch 3, until you remove partisan ads.
I wanted to love this app. I moved from the area and use it to keep up with whatβs happening in the Permian Basin... at a very slow pace. However, itβs really frustrating to click on a story just to get a β404 / page not foundβ error code. The person or persons who types up stories for the app often has misspelled words and very poor grammar (unless thatβs how the anchors are speaking these days). Sometimes, it will be three days before there is any new content added. Is there really nothing new in the news for three full days? Or does CBS7 only have one person updating the app that doesnβt work weekends or holidays?

As a cord cutter, I rarely watch live TV anymore and rely on apps like these for my local news. What bothers me is the placement of all of the ads on each page that are made to look like news articles. What is worse is that most are straight-up dishonest, spam or inappropriate. For example, one ad said βNew Affordable Housing in Midland is Turning Headsβ. You click on it and not only does it have nothing to do with Midland, it had even less to do with affordable housing. It was a spam link page that took you to other spam link pages. Most ads have scantly clad women or other non-family friendly content. I think the ad provider is βOutbrainβ. Consider real local ads that matter to us and not just spammy crap that makes yβall look like you fell for a Nigerian Phone scam from a shady developer that just threw your RSS feed in a spam bot template. PLEASE, use your own app and PLEASE be honest and recognize that the crap ads and spam on each page do not represent your news station in a positive light. I would be embarrassed.

You would think that this app would be convenient for someone who doesnβt have social media but itβs NOT. runs very slow & freezes in the middle of an article. Constantly having to refresh!!!
App did good for a while. Has begun to crash a lot.
