CBS Boston for Negative User Reviews

✓ LOUSY App!This app is TERRIBLE! The text does not scroll properly and there are many gaps, which supposedly are for intolerably large advertisements. The videos do not properly load and, for the most part, never display! What a terrible waste! Have you ever actually tried to view any story on your app????????????? If you have then you would not enjoy the experience! Shame on you! A “news app” which does not function properly cannot be used to access the news!!!.WandadnaWVersion: 1.3.0

✓ App very slow. Causes lag on phoneI agree with other reviews. How was this app even released with the lagging and hanging it causes, not just in the app but on my phone. I liked the old one better. This needs to be fixed ASAP or else I can’t use this app on my phone. Terrible quality control..AcepranskyVersion: 1.0.16

✓ Hate itOld app was much easier to navigate. Could just swipe to get to the next story. Now have to go back to home page to click on next story. Go back to the old one please!!!!!!.MamietmVersion: 1.0.16

✓ Problem new appIt had been cashed three times and its must be a bug. Please fix it as update..Frosie56Version: 1.0.16

✓ LousyThis app is a DOWNGRADE from previous ones. News stories are disjointed. Weather is a complete disaster. I cannot believe WBZ thinks the weather functionality on this new app is better than their old NEXT weather app!! What a disappointment from expectation for a “leading” Boston station. I guess I’ll stick to watching on TV and get my online weather (number one method) elsewhere!! Please support the old weather app!!!!.Jimma0719Version: 1.7.0

✓ Doesn’t fill my screenI like the old one much better.John P 1Version: 1.0.16

✓ Terrible disappointmentThe old weather app was my go-to for radar and hourly forecasts. Seems to be missing in this news version. This “upgrade” is a huge disappointment. I would rate 0 stars. Do not recommend..Jesse49Version: 1.6.0

✓ Weather or Naught!The app works well BUT there is no map that shows where the storms are located. That would be a great feature..RickoSkyeVersion: 1.7.0

✓ This is awful!!!The previous version was much better. No landscape view only portrait. A complete waste of time..Rudie6237Version: 1.0.16

✓ It stinksThe new app stinks. Why does it open a browser when I want to look at the weather instead of staying in the app?.NightskierVersion: 1.0.16

✓ Bad updateI use an iPad and the image won’t rotate or allow full-screen. This makes your app useless for me. I want the old app back!.NotsmallviewVersion: 1.0.16

✓ New CBS Boston weather and news appI am so disappointed in this new way to access the weather forecast! It is no longer a stand-alone weather app; I have to open the news first then select “weather”. Then there is less detail; it is harder to view and the text is smaller and harder to read. I had relied on this app as my primary source for weather for years. Am so sorry to see it being destroyed..LM_197Version: 1.6.0

✓ WeatherPlease, I implore you to bring back the old Next Weather app the new one is useless!!!.Next Weather FanVersion: 1.7.1

✓ What a horrible appI just loaded up this app on my ipad. I thought it was me but apparently its not. I deleted it just as fast when I saw how bad it was..Bring baclVersion: 1.1.0

✓ No horizontal viewSeems made for portrait viewing only..HjgirVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Terrible!The old app worked great until it stopped working unless you did latest update. This newer app is 2 steps backwards. Only shows in portrait mode on iPad, where older iteration worked in landscape mode flawlessly. This app is set up for iPhone style only. Really disappointed..GeneP59Version: 1.3.0

✓ Article timeout after 4 secondsI was eating an article re another senseless shooting in Boston this morning and the app timeout and exited. It happened 3 times on a row. I have new experienced such a poorly performing app..HousePro13Version: 1.7.1

✓ Keeps CrashingKeeps randomly crashing on my iPhone after a few seconds of being open. I hope this gets fixed because the old app worked but had terrible outdated content..U2gal44Version: 1.0.16

✓ A big downgrade from the old appThis app is a big downgrade from the old app. I only check fake news apps for the weather and the weather section now just launches the website in safari. I don’t need an app for that since I could just go to the website myself. Uninstalling.....Jr255437Version: 1.0.16

✓ Old app was betterIn my opinion, I liked the old app better.Old grumps young at heartVersion: 1.7.0

✓ TerribleThis “upgrade” is terrible! The app it replaced was better. It’s got to be fixed! And it should have weather on it...not bring me to safari fir the weather!.Boo62612Version: 1.0.16

✓ Absolutely TerribleI have been using the WBZ app for a long time and it has been very good. The weather app is probably one of the best that I’ve ever used. I know the amount of ads that you have on this new app is ridiculous. Whoever made a decision to get rid of the WBZ weather app should be fired. It is nowhere near what the old app was. As with a lot of the other reviewers. If something isn’t done about the weather app and some of the advertisements, I think a lot of the people who are using this will be going to another app..Terrible MBVersion: 1.7.0

✓ HorribleThis app is clunky. Scrolling hardly ever works, stalls out constantly, and causes my phone to jam up. Can’t believe there’s been no update. Not even worth using..401SamVersion: 1.0.16

✓ NOPEI can't understand how this app was released. I tapped the More... and it took 7 seconds to open. Switching the tabs on the bottom took over 1 second. I thought maybe it just didn't work with iOS 12 on an old iPhone, so I loaded it on my iPad. It came up sideways, because it doesn't resize when the iPad is in landscape orientation. Deleted app..RandyHaVersion: 1.0.16

✓ Just as bad as the websiteThe Wbz app and website are horrible. Loaded with so many junk ads that interrupt and overtake the screen, you can never just read a 3 sentence news blurb without a bunch of ads interfering and causing the site to crash. The worst!.K in MetroWest BostonVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Change for ChangeFolks I truly enjoyed my WB app easy to read and to the point . Must be a new marketing or production person . My preferred site for years , not anymore ! Good luck.ChicvccVersion: 1.0.16

✓ Old app much betterI agree with other reviews, the old app is much better. A.John from SalemVersion: 1.0.16

✓ No iPad supportNo iPad support. The existing weather app does, way can’t this news app properly support the iPad?.At canadaVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Lack of a tab for Next WeatherThe weather info on this app is just about non-existent. All it gives is the temperature and conditions for my town. (I can get that by looking out the window.) I miss the main page with temperature, wind speed, and dew point, the map with the radar, the forecast page where you could scroll ahead to the coming days, and the times of sunrise and sunset. Please consider adding Next Weather to this app. Thank you..North Shore Weather WatcherVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Nothing but ADS!Can we just get the news, please! Having to go through all the ads is annoying- just deleted this app.SheilaggnnouVersion: 1.7.0

✓ Why did you change!Used the Next weather app all the time. Told going to different app, CBS News Boston. Downloaded it and doesn’t work at all. Finally got weather video to work and then could not find any way of going back to news portion. No controls in evidence or menu to work from. WHY? Asked to download junk app. Expect so much more from WBZ. Embarrassment. HES.HES45Version: 1.6.0

✓ WeatherThe weather section of this App is terrible. There is no radar like the old app and stories about the weather are 15 days old! Weather changes so often a 15 day old story is NO help at all. I now have to find an app with a radar link in order to stay up to date. Terrible design on this app!!.90786Version: 1.6.0

✓ Doesn’t work for iPadMobile app no longer includes national and world news. I’m not going to check 2 different cbs apps for my news. Time to switch to the abc or nbc local apps! Why did you destroy the old app?.JoqwderftgyhujiVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Missing iPad ScreenOn the iPad, it displays in portrait mode only in iPhone mode. I hope they update to correct this. Also it does not have an intuitive interface..Totempole451Version: 1.0.16

✓ Bring back the old weather appYou HAD a phenomenal weather app! I can’t believe your great weather team isn’t walking a picket line over what you are now presenting. Where are the links to regional information, weather maps, radar, etc? I’m a former Navy weather forecaster. This and Windy were my “go to” apps for wx info. You should be embarrassed by this bit of weather presented on your WBZ NEWS..JayneR57Version: 1.7.0

✓ Not user friendlyI love wbz tv- always have. But yiur app for the news is pretty awful. Full of ads- thst take away from your news- it’s very chaotic and not user friendly. Go on channel 5’s news app and take notes.. please improve this mess. There’s no rhyme nor reason to your flow of news. It needs help. Good luck.4496girlVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Horrible weather apNot enough weather information. Poor displays; confusing videos. Great disappointment from previous weather ap..Pzzzzzzzz56Version: 1.6.0

✓ Lousy App filled with disgusting medical AD’s!I can’t believe this is a local product, this looks like a disastrous product of Texas or Florida instead, it doesn’t scroll properly and content is subpar for the high standards for this area. Don’t bother with it, I’m removing mine immediately!.CM265Version: 1.5.0

✓ Crash!App constantly crashes won’t open!!!.Pkke52Version: 1.0.16

✓ Unstable and not intuitiveCrashes often. Cannot go from one need article to the next without going back first. Did anyone try this app before it was launched? This app is terrible. Very unstable!.Player125125Version: 1.0.16

✓ Updated app not stable yetIPhone 7 - always crashes within seconds..BackriverVersion: 1.0.16

✓ Just The Weather, ThanksFor me, this app is a little late to the party. People are moving away from “Breaking News!” every second, of every day. It’s not healthy. We’d rather not get splashed in the face by a constant stream of the latest examples of our inhumanity to each other. I just wanted to know if I should water my garden. Please be better..WhitorWhitoutVersion: 1.7.0

✓ Lousy updateAnother instance of fixing something that wasn’t broken. It is much worse now.RhodyguyVersion: 1.0.16

✓ What a lousy app!What the heck is CBS owned and operated thinking? Showing iPhone app on iPad, weather taking you to a web page? What a cheap piece of junk. Return to the old app no matter how much it costs..LrngToFlyVersion: 1.0.16

✓ Just want the weather!I downloaded this as the weather app I love has a banner that it’s not being supported anymore. But I don’t want a news app, I just want the weather! The weather app was simple to use but provided everything needed. Just looking for the weather section of this one was difficult! One more vote to bring back the weather app. I deleted this one immediately. Wish I could give 0 stars..Emac002211Version: 1.7.1
