App crashes under video tab

The app crashes when I try to play a video listed under the video tab, but plays perfectly under the news tab after I tap on the story inside the news tab.

Crashes

App worked for the first couple of weeks. I got to watch the morning news. Now the app launches but you click on the video stream and it crashes an closes. Very disappointing

Update

Ninja76398876

New update ruins the app. Have to use it like YouTube... can only listen while app is open. Dumbest feature.

Used to work fine then it just stopped loading any and all pages. Just a blank screen. I rebooted and still nothing. Running latest version on iPhone 7. Informed them about the problem but 10 hours later still nothing. I’ve given up. I’ll get my news from NBC.

HORRIBLE

Tons of invasive ads that are impossible to close. I always have to close the app & restart so I can pick up where I left off, and then all over again. YOUR APP IS THE WORST!!!

Horrible: STILL BROKE!

Even after update, while listening to a station and you choose a news article, the radio stops. Even if there’s no video in the article. You have to swipe out of the article and restart the radio. And the app freezes a lot. What a shame. I like the news radio I listen to in the morning. I just have to read a different station’s news articles at the same time.

Repeated stories

News is stale with some stories hanging on in the original wording for days. Fresh news with strong, professional wording seems lacking. CBS Pittsburgh you’d think who exemplify a higher standard for their press people.

Awful ... so sad

Lisa is my idol

Impossible to use. It crashes upon launching any story. You usually have to wait a long time too for the video to load before it crashes too. CBS doesn’t have enough money to pay their developers to design a functional app? Another thing that I cannot handle is the Bounce dryer sheet ad before EVERY SINGLE news clip. No mixing it up with a few different sponsors, just the same painful ad with a horrible parody of a formerly good song by The Police. The WBZ app has been part of my morning routine for years now. But I have been forced to watch other area stations because of the repetitive ads. The Bounce ad has finally broken me. I will also NEVER buy Bounce again.

Great news service

Not sure why all these other reviews are so bad. I love being able to watch the news live. It keeps me informed every time I click on the app. Love CBS News. Thank you.

I Like It

Works fine for me. Some hiccups in the live streaming but nothing worth complaining about.
