I was watching the CBS free Oprah interview of Meghan and Harry and didn’t want to watch commercials. When I searched for how to sign up, I was led to sign up for a free week of commercial free Paramount - which it said had been CBS and had changed its name. But then once signed up, no where could I find this same show, nor when I signed into the CBS app. And when trying to reach support for the app I just signed up for, it tells me I can’t until I set up an email, which I had just done. I was so disgusted. Dropped it immediately and canceled the subscription.

Can stop the show or else it’ll restart

I tried watching the Oprah special. I had to pause several times to finish chores and when I went back to the show it had restarted. I had to find my place and sit through several minutes of commercials each time the show restarted rather than remembering where I left off. Very annoying. Then I had to watch the additional commercials every few minutes right after watching commercials. Just used the app to watch the one special and now deleting the app. Way too many commercials and inconveniences.

App doesn’t always save your spot in shows so you have to start all over again and watch like 10 commercials. You cant pause commercials either or you have to exit out to restart. So frustrated, will delete.

This might be the worst app I’ve ever used. The lag is terrible. Anytime I try to watch something, the video buffers and freezes. I have to clear out the app to start over and then rewatch all the ads all over again.

Sometimes this app works, and sometimes it doesn’t. I downloaded it to watch one show so I’m in the free trial. I was considering keeping it, since I liked some of their content, but since nothing will ever play, and it loads more slowly than my other streaming apps, I will not be paying for it.

App was great, I specifically found exactly what I was looking for in a matter of seconds. The only thing found bothersome was the ads that pop up that are 30 seconds long each, and there is typically 3-6 commercials (ads)

I mean come on - this app constantly is buffering. Restarts show when it glitches. It’s taken me two day to watch the Oprah special. I can’t more than 1-2 mins without it glitching or completely stopping. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t be able to seamlessly cast this onto my tv.

Hey thanks CBS
I had so much frustration watching all my favorite half hour comedies with your old set-up. They would cut off during the show 3 or 4 times in a half hour and the week long wait to even watch episodes.
Now you make me feel like a first class citizen with this new app. Those issues have disappeared and I am lovin it-especially thankful you have kept it free for a not so rich first class citizen like me! THANK YOU

Even though I’m paying for the commercial free CBS All Access, this Paramount update is forcing commercials and doesn’t seem to register properly. Why pay for no commercials if they will be forced any way? This transition doesn’t seem to be setup right.

Everyone is complaining about ad content (which idc about because I know they’re necessary), but I can’t even get the app to load!! I open it up, get a blue circle, then a black screen.. If it does load, I start a video and it crashes. Pretty worthless, honestly. Should prolly have your developers address this integrity issue. Will update review if the app ever gets fixed.

I was happy to find this free CBS app as an option once Paramount took over the old CBS app. My biggest complaint is that it makes my iPhone 11 Pro very hot to the touch every time I begin to use it. I have tried adjusting the settings, but it doesn’t make a difference. Otherwise this app is not very different from the old CBS app so the transition was fine.

Got this app to watch the Oprah Megan Harry interview like I’m sure thousands others did. I’m sure this was a big initiative to get ppl to download the app (and possibly subscribe). If it was, you did a really, really, really bad job.
-Can’t get the Picture in Picture to work on iPhone for some reason. Netflix and others do it seamlessly.
-accidentally close app while trying to get ^ to work
-if you close app or video, it doesn’t remember your last video watch time point
-so you are forced to rewatch all the intro ads over and over and over and over
-to mention ads - OMG seriously it feels like a 100 ads in this 2 hour special. And they all feel like way too long rehashes of the same content. I can tell you for after watching ten 20 second long Paramount streaming commercials, I definitely do NOT want to buy it’s. It’s now a swear word, not a product.

Not worth it

I watched half of a show one day and tried to pick up where I left off the following day and learned that requires that I rewatch ALL the ads. And worth noting that they’re predominantly ads for other shows on this network.
The app itself functions well enough but the underlying model is terrible.

This app was horrible. Attempted to watch Oprah interview with Harry and Megan. Took five attempts to get the show to start. Made the mistake of pausing it 15 seconds in. This required a reboot of the phone and a few more tries to get the show started again. Tried to rewind 30 seconds when I was 20 minutes into the show. This required another restart of the app and sitting through a bunch of commercials to get back to where I started. About 40 minutes in, it stopped for no apparent reason, and I had to get out of the app again, restart a few more times, watch a new set of commercials, fast forward. Oops, overshot and need to rewind a few minutes. That’s gonna cost me. Forced watching of more commercials and then it hangs and won’t restart. At that point, I’m out and the app is removed from my phone.

I wish it were possible to give this zero stars. Downloading this app to watch the Oprah interview, every five minutes the interview was interrupted by a set of dull commercials, and it would reset to before the ads and just keep cycling back. Moving the tracker at the bottom did nothing, every time it would just go back about 10 minutes to another set of voting commercials. Done with this.

Downloaded to watch one thing. The app just kept crashing. Then had to start the show up again and watch a bunch of ads. When the app crashed, I didn’t know how far in I was so I had to guess when I started it up again. If I went too far ahead and rewound at all,2 more minutes of ads. If I rewound again, 2 more minutes of ads. Fast forward - 2 more minutes of ads. Ads showing up should be based on how much playback there is. They shouldn’t play automatically just because I rewound or fast forwarded.
