CBS Sports App: Scores & News for Negative User Reviews
✓ BadNBA preseason games are so slow and scores don’t update quickly . It’s very disappointing.Version: 10.18.1
✓ FrustratingDownloaded to watch Texas A&M, just getting same ad on repeat and no football!.Version: 6.4
✓ Good app with a few unexplainable issuesLike to see a players season stats vertically, so it’s impossible to compare year over year or see career totals? Off course not… that’s why no one does it. But regardless of sport, this app is going to hold you to one year of stats at a time, vertically… so there’s lots of scrolling. Want to see stats for 10 years ago? Too bad, Matt Stafford or Clayton Kershaw have 8 years of one year at a time stats available… nothing important happened before 2016. And for some reason it keeps adding random leagues I’ve never heard of to my scoreboard, instead of defaulting to hidden. Honestly the live box scores and game trackers are great. 95% of what you’d want is there and easy to use… and then just a few illogical choices that no one else makes. Just give me rows of yearly stats for a player’s history!.Version: 11.28
✓ App needs work...Should be a home button or a way that when the user scrolls through the upcoming days, they can return to the current day’s sports listings, instead of have to scroll all the way back again. Once the user leaves the app after an hour minimum, the app should reset to the current days listings of games, instead of the last place the user was looking. App should allow the user to follow individual players. Some fans like players, but don’t care to get all the news about the whole sport, league, etc. NCAA Baseball and Softball should be able to be viewed the same as major college sports. Though watching the games is more unlikely do to the coverage wants vs needs, this is a sports app, so all scores and teams should be provided..Version: 10.14.1
✓ March madness bracket tourneyTrying to sort out how to set up a March mardness pool with 10 friends. Can’t figure out how to do it. Don’t seem to be able to find any links to actually set it up; which is frustrating because I’ve played on here before..Version: 11.0.1
✓ Great app but...Keeps crashing in the NFL section on iPhone 6. Please fix!.Version: 8.9.2
✓ Problems while following play by play on a game you’re not able to receive.Sometimes they don’t have the correct score during a game in progress or sometimes they can’t make up their mind which team has the ball. When a team calls a timeout they should indicate that, so you’re not wondering why it’s taking so long between plays. How come you don’t give any info on the college girls basketball game in progress when it comes to the box score like you do for the boys basketball games? What I’m more concerned about is when the game is in progress and you hit the box score they don’t show what each individual player on each team has scored or attempted or fowls so far in the game like they do in the men’s game. Their game is just as important as some other the men’s games. And some of them could even beat some men’s teams..Version: 11.21
✓ CanadaMost disappointing and annoying that cannot view or access any of the videos associated with your material in “our region “ , CANADA,the country just to the north of you that runs along the entire length of your northern continental border as well as the entirety of your eastern Alaskan and southern borders Would have rated lower than 3 stars if it weren’t for your otherwise excellent coverage.Version: 11.10.1
✓ Willfully ruining the app experience for profitAs many have pointed out, the Scores page was the default page for years. The recent switch to showing the News page was asked for by no one and is an obvious move to take advantage of their users simply for profit. I will be switching to theScore app instead. Save me the canned “Developer Response” that obviously shows no interest in improving the app. In that response (which you can find copied dozens of times on other reviews below), they claim that “By placing News as the primary tab, our aim is to instantly showcase the major events in the sports realm.” Ironically enough, the first thing shown in the News tab is an advertisement, which I’m pretty sure is not a major event in the sports realm. Additionally, prioritizing news stories that are hours old above scores from games that are happening at this very second does not “instantly showcasing” anything. It’s obvious that CBS prioritizes squeezing money out of every angle possible above making useful features, I have happily deleted this app..Version: 11.30
✓ DecentGood app however when I turn the notifications off it doesn't turn off this means when I am watching the game and the game has a stream delay The notifications ruin the game as they show you scores and it just ruins it.Version: 10.5
✓ Pretty good for sports news.It works for what I need, which is only football. It would be great if you could filter more of junk I do not care to see. I still get way too many opinion news clips and different persons with their guess for which team should win games. That’s not useful information, everyone has their opinion and guess. If I could filter that extra junk out, it may be a five star for this app. Also, getting text/messages after 11pm is not cool. I’m trying to sleep. There should be a parameter to adjust to achieve times you allow messages from the app..Version: 11.21
✓ Garbage if you are in CanadaDon’t bother if you are Canadian. Nothing is available..Version: 11.12
✓ PoorScores are all over the place. Mlb scores refresh and then scores go back to an older score and then back to current score after a couple seconds. Pathetic from cbs.Version: 10.7.3
✓ Good sports app just missing…Great sports app nice gui just missing more sports in the live sports scores listings..Version: 11.31
✓ Glitches?I came here because I am so fed up with the glitches on this app. I have used cbs for 3 years now for my March madness bracket pool. And I will never use it again. I had to struggle to see my bracket leagues, and it showed me a bunch of random ones. I eventually figured it out, but after that many people in my pool were unable to join the league and had to create new emails because this app wouldn’t let them join with their current accounts. We have 18 people in our pool and 25 brackets, the rest of which are incomplete however all those other people had to create new accounts. And now that the games have begun all I wanted to do was see the standings. Our pool has a bonus for the longest winning streak but I can’t even see who that is because now no one I know can access the brackets. I hope it’s fixed, but I will never use cbs for my bracket pool again. This has been a nightmare, and the sad part is I could create a whole website to do just this March madness bracket pool in 5 minutes and it wouldn’t have as many issues as this. I really hope the bracket pool isn’t deleted or something… but I have no way of finding out. So thanks for that cbs.Version: 11.23
✓ Really un-user friendlyTerrible app! Really hard to use and navigate in. And it won’t let me edit my pools, or name, etc... One of the most non user friendly apps I’ve ever come across..Version: 11.7.1
✓ Disappointments.Regret that though the news was that videos would be available, one now has to presume that is in the US only. B T Hope.Version: 6.0
✓ So laggyLags.Version: 10.5.1
✓ No live streamThe website says watch live on app. The app has no streaming option. It’s a lie..Version: 11.25
✓ Search PlayersNeed to be able to search for Players through search feature please. I like to look up stats quick!.Version: 11.3
✓ ProblemCan’t sign in with paramount plus. Can’t watch any live sport.Version: 11.27
✓ Can’t get the details rightThe play by play is often wrong and extremely slow. The names of the players are by first initial and last name which can be insufficient to identify who was involved. It seems it would be fairly simple to advise that there is a time out and to also advise when a play is under review rather than having a long wait between plays. Just list the initial play result and then add a supplement saying “this play is under review.” Then add the final result. Your method listing plays is ridiculous. Let’s say the line of scrimmage is the 30 yard line. If a pass is complete you list it as being complete at the 30 and then add that the ball was advanced for an additional yardage. Why not just say the pass was complete for a gain of the yardage - for instance - pass complete for a gain of 15 yards. If the play resulted in a loss just say the pass was complete for loss of the yardage lost. In the recent Michigan-Iowa game Michigan stopped Iowa on 4th down and the ball went over to Michigan on downs. Why not just say that. Your listing initially listed it as a failed two-point conversion..Version: 11.30.1
✓ 2021 updateI loved the CBS Sports app. Been using it for years to check scores, updates, standings, and schedules of all of my favorite sports and teams. It was so easy to manage and use. Fast, live updates of games made the play-by-play enjoyable. Then CBS Sports decides to turn my world upside down and change everything about their app. The new layout is so much worse now. With a calendar format it’s hard to find when my teams are playing since I don’t know what day they are playing on, that’s what I’m trying to figure out. There’s no longer standings and rankings tabs for leagues/conferences. I liked this app way better when it was organized by each individual sports league/association and once in that sub link, there are tabs for scores, teams, rankings, news, stats, etc. Choosing to organize all sports under each day is just silly as it’s too much to take in at once when I’m trying to focus on one sport at a time. I usually don’t make app reviews but felt it was appropriate after CBS Sports just really messed up their app and probably lost a user.Version: 11.0
✓ So Good, Yet So FrustratingIt’s completely disappointing, all the improvements made, yet the highlights still don’t play. Frustratingly, the ads play just fine... just no highlights. And yes, I’m running the very latest app update..Version: 11.1.1
✓ Brutal AppNo problem loading 8 Paramount + ads in a row but won’t play a masters video after I sit through them..Version: 11.12
✓ Notifications??This is one of the better USA sports apps out on the market but the notifications for my chosen teams don't work!!! I get all kinds of other news & results but from other sports I haven't even selected!!!.Version: 6.2
✓ Horrible app by a horrible companyReally wish I could give zero stars. They’ll nickel and dime you even when you have their channel. Fox, NBC, and ABC don’t do that. Complete lack of service. I simply want to stream a game I can watch from home while away, nope, not happening, I would have to pay $9.99 for a monthly service fee on top of what I already pay. CBS execs, have fun in your Scrooge McDuck baths you stingy pieces of s. This is the root of why I’m getting rid of cable. Why am I paying extra if I am already spending so much at the end of the day for the cable? I can watch other channels easily. But CBS doesn’t make it as simple as other networks. I tried phones and different computers as devices for streaming to no avail. All of which said I need to sign up and pay more money..Version: 11.9
✓ Didn’t workLie.Version: 11.0.1
✓ Crashes every timeApp crashes every single time I open an article - was my favourite source of NBA news too.Version: 10.9.1
✓ No gamesLoved it last year when I was able to watch some college football on this app, made living abroad a bit better. Unable to get any games this season- disappointed!!.Version: 6.2
✓ Barely functionalI’ve been using this app for several years and I can’t believe that it gets continually worse every update. It’s barely functional in its current state, sure you can get information in its basic format but you are constantly bombarded with ads and errors. Baseball season is almost over and they finally got the news feed working, it’s 9/17. Football season starts, suddenly all teams news pages go blank, really? Then when you can get an article to load it’s broken up and even has sections covered by freaking ads. I think I’m finally just going to uninstall and find something else that works. If they would reduce the ads by half I could give it 3 stars but its just too much greed trying to pack all the ads in. The sad part is that the ads never fail to load unlike the information you’re looking for..Version: 10.18
✓ Could be betterNotifications are great not to good for much else.Version: 8.5
✓ App used to be decentThis app used to be a refreshing alternative to ESPN. It gave solid coverage of the latest sports news and provided a well organized and consistent browsing experience. Not anymore. My beef with this all are threefold. 1. The app has punched me with ads recently. Clicking to watch a 20s video now has a 15-30 second ad attached. Bad form. 2. The app is on the level of spam with the number of notifications I'm getting without first opting in. 3. Stability. The app now freezes EVERY time I launch it somewhere between 1-3 minutes in. This means I browse to an interesting article, only to have the app hang. I then restart and am unable to find the article. I've gotten tired of only reading the first half of articles. I guess it's back to ESPN....Version: 10.11.1
✓ Was great…The CBS Sports app was my sports app of choice, but the latest update has relegated it back to the mean…the removal of preferred leagues (conferences? Can’t remember what it was titled) for NCAA sports is a step back IMO - this feature allowed better customization of what you want to see. I like the ability to tap the header bar to jump between conferences, but my request would be to add an option within the conference list to be the legacy ‘my leagues’ among the top 25 and specified conferences. This simple feature made CBS Sports the app of choice, even though it’s missing many other sports scores that it’s competitors include integrated (like NCAAW, NCAA Baseball, etc.). The removal of this ‘my leagues’ option drops its score back below that of competitors. Please consider this as an option, until then, I’ll have to use other apps..Version: 11.9
✓ Latest updateI was a fan of the CBS Sports app for a couple years. Now? Might be time to find a new source for sports scores. You managed to take a very user friendly app and make it very user unfriendly. Why do programmers think they need to update just for the sake of update. Note I didn’t say upgrade. This new app is a definite downgrade fro what you had before. For example, I know that the B1G played several first round playoff games yesterday, but if I went by the results posted on the app, I would think there was one NCAA game yesterday, and that was a Big 12 tourney game. Today, you list a few more B1G score but not all of them. Your app is useless if I can’t count on finding the scores from all games. Oh well. I’ll be looking for a new app..Version: 11.1
✓ Garbage appThe old version of this app was significantly better. The way everything is organized on this app is horrible. It should be organized by sport not by date. It’s horribly unintuitive. Programmers ruin everything. Sometimes the best change is no change..Version: 11.10.1
✓ What crap!Doesn’t work all the time. Always gets error messages of “can’t connect to server “ or “invalid id”! Why do I have to sign out and in twenty times to view or pick games!? Only reason I use this app is because my fantasy football league does. Why isn’t this app connected with the fantasy football app? And before you say “oh you must have a bad connection “ I have the best service on and off wifi! No other app has this problem. You would think with the billions that CBS gets paid that they would spend a little more time and money making sure an app would work! Again if I wasn’t locked in my league I would not be using this app ever!.Version: 10.91
✓ Default TabUpdate 2: As recommended by others I switched to theScore app. Awesome app that gives you the option of opening to the scores. Update: As others have said, the developer responses show they could care less about their customers opinions and they are determined to keep this change. Fair enough as they are free to do as they wish. I have been using this app since it came out but I am deleting it now as there are many other apps that do what this app used to do before the change. I’m only one guy but we’ll see who’s right by watching the rating on this app. Please go back to the scores tab as the default tab or at least give us the option! I’ve been using this app since it came out I don’t know how many years ago. This recent change is forcing me to look elsewhere as my go to sports app because it’s very annoying to have to switch to the score’s immediately every time I open the app..Version: 11.30.1
✓ Crashes ConstantlyWhat more do you need to know, haven't been on the app a single day where it has not crashed, when opening an article there is a 60% chance it will crash, not worth the download time.Version: 9.2
✓ No Control Over NotificationsLiked the app until I started receiving alerts for everything, not just my favorite teams. According to their customer support, this is an Editorial Staff decision on breaking news and ongoing stories (see below). To stop this over saturation their suggestion is to disable each of my Team News alerts and/or disable all notification for the app. There are other options for my sporting new on the teams I follow. Needless to say I have deleted this app. “If you have disabled all notifications (League News, Gambling & Odds, Fantasy, Draft, Top Stories) within the CBS Sports app, but have Team News enabled for your My Teams/Favorites, then you may still receive some league (e.g. NFL, NBA, NCAA, etc) notifications. This is based on our Editorial Staff deeming breaking news or an ongoing story worthy of a notification for some or all teams for a certain league.”.Version: 11.0.1
✓ How do we go live stream?We have used two different devices and sent support help and read so many different links and utube videos and still were getting no where any help who had the similar problems and figured there’s out?.Version: 11.0.1
✓ App sucksAn app glitches so many times that doesn’t update live scores...Version: 11.16
✓ Slow updatesUpdates are very slow.Version: 11.29
✓ Useless appI can not stream local games with this app. The Cleveland Browns games are broadcast on CBS. So when I’m at work or on the go I have the CBS sports app on my phone. I figure if I’m paying for the tv service already I should be able to also stream the game on my phone on the same network. I log in through my tv provider (AT&T-Uverse) and when I try to watch, I’m getting a notification that my tv provider is not supported in my area. Then why is it an option to log in through my tv provider if it’s not even supported by the CBS app? Trying to watch a Cleveland game when I live about an hour and a half away from Cleveland does not seem like it should be that difficult. Useless app, deleted from my devices..Version: 11.7.2
✓ New update is trashI’m trying to set up a bracket for the March madness and the app doesn’t allow you to even click your league to send invites. Only works on the computer so you better fix the app before you lose millions of users.Version: 11.0.2
✓ Fake Super Bowl adYou can’t watch the bowl. But you can see game updates. Misleading.Version: 11.0.1
✓ No version no goodDon’tLike the new version.Version: 11.0.1
✓ Great Content, but horrible execution!Every video clip they send you in the push notifications has you excited to watch what they say. Then they leave you hanging and CUT THE CLIP BEFORE THE END of the clip. So every time you’re left on a cliff hanger! What’s the point in having great content, if it’s impossible to get it?!? Also, the screen is very sensitive so if you accidentally touch anything anywhere, it sends you somewhere else… which is admittedly the users fault. However, I can NEVER go back or find the article I was reading to go back to it when that happens, because there’s no HISTORY and sometimes no Forward/back arrows!!! Please give us a way to ACCESS the great content this app would be able to give with better design and execution. PLEASE!.Version: 11.4.1
✓ Horrible applicationThis app sucks. It was advertised that we could stream the super bowl for free using this app. We downloaded it, made an account, streamed to our Roku and it wouldn’t give any option to watch the super bowl. Huge disappointment.Version: 11.0.1
✓ UpdateLate update.Version: 11.21
✓ Videos do not play.Title sums it up, I can watch ads no problem, to the point where ive tried to watch a video only for three different ads to spool through. Could be 4 or 5 stars because I use this to check scores it’s fantastic for that. I’d also like it if it had a separate setup for following, like I could follow a league or team for the seaon and get the big news and scores but not all the news from them. Like the favorites but let me follow the top 25 college scores for example..Version: 11.30.1
✓ Women’s NCAAShould have the women’s conferences as well.Version: 10.6.2
✓ Not good enoughScores don’t refresh smoothly at all. There’s a couple hiccups and stuttering movements and change of the match times Twice or so before the scores actually refresh correctly. Really annoying!! Why can’t it be smooth . Also, lower tier ncaa basketball matches don’t refresh quickly. They update every 6-7 minutes or so. Apparently it’s due to data limitations. But why can’t they improve this so all matches are covered equally?? Not happy at all with this version. Laggy and slow..Version: 10.5.5
✓ This app used to be greatI switched from ESPN over to this app in the spring of 2014, and I was impressed with the simplicity and streamline interface. The notifications were simply score updates, and everything was great. Fast forward to now and I am bombarded with notification after notification about stuff I do not give a crap about. I clearly have NBA alerts turned off in the app, yet it still seems like I get 2 or 3 NBA notifications daily. I have not found a way to fix this and it is so frustrating. I am switching over to the FOX Sports app for the time being to see if they are any better. CBS Sports was once great, and now are trying way too hard to accommodate the “social media” influenced brand of folks..Version: 10.51
✓ Click baiting/straight out lyingGot the app to watch Super Bowl stream and it’s not streaming on the app or website.Version: 11.0.1
✓ March Madness PoolWhy can’t I find where my March Madness pools are?? I can’t find anything where it brings you to brackets you have joined with friends. I can only find it on a computer and not the app. Why!?!.Version: 11.0.2
✓ AppTerrible app freeze like crazy.Version: 11.0.1
✓ Latest not so greatestNot a fan of the new scores format. Use to be able to see more games scores at once, now I can only see 4 games. Seems like a waste of space..Version: 11.0.1
✓ Has Poor QA/QCThere are a lot of good things about this app such as the box scores and the fact that they have lesser know sports like college baseball. However, it can be very buggie. Often times taking you to a blank white screen instead of players profiles whenever you press on there name. I also think this app suffers from bad QA/QC. Such as the “Tweet” section of baseball game going days at a time without being updated. So you’re looking at a Twins v Indians game and the tweets from both teams are from two days prior. Additionally, the college football score board often times can be incorrect. I watched WV and Texas Tech go into half time 35-10, yet the score in the app was 40-13. It was weird because the score summary correctly documented each scoring drive, but the score still remained incorrect. I often get notification for college football games such as a 1 point touchdown or a 9 point field goal. It’s all very confusing. Due to these quality issues, I have decided to go to the Four Letter and will probably never return to CBS..Version: 10.8.7
✓ One of the worst sports apps available.While this app does have some redeeming features such as its ability to report some high school football scores .. the app lacks so many controls present in other apps. Despite the fact that I don’t follow PGA or any golfers at all, I continually get updates for golfing and how golfing is available on the CBS Sports subscription. And it doesn’t stop with golf. I get tennis updates too that I don’t care for. It’s one thing if a golfer breaks the record for wins at The Masters. I get that. That is transcending sports news. But to get updates that “Rory McElroy is in the lead with a -2” when I don’t follow him.. I don’t follow the PGA.. I don’t follow any golfers, tennis players, The Masters, Shell Open, Australian Open, Wimbledon or anything related to golf/tennis it becomes frustrating that the app is wasting your battery and time with alerts about things you didn’t suggest as something you like. I’m sure it isn’t the devs fault.. probably some suit upstairs.. but I want it to be known to the suit that it isn’t appreciated..Version: 10.91
✓ Crashes continuallyApp was once great, but now crashes all the time..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Not workingCan’t sign in with Paramount +.Version: 11.23
✓ App fails to openI love the CBS Sports app, it's a must have for any sports fan. My problem is it refuses to open consistently now on my iPad 4, 9/10 attempts it fails to load... when it does it takes forever... gutted.Version: 8.7.4
