## CBS 42 Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Cullman country"
Several gain garden city al are needing help. They have hacked everything on everyone and everyone has fake or hacked accounts including all app and accounts. They have taken over the camera systems throughout Cullman county and have certain people that they use to create ai pictures. The county police are involved and more than one person has said they were going through this places like Cullman coop and Verizon are creating fake accounts for people. Please check into why certain broadcasting features are controlled and why the county isn’t allowed to have large planes flying over. Also Rehau, Louisiana Pacific and several other place are no longer working plants.

### *---- "Fix ASAP and immediately"
This app needs to put on the newscast every time they go on TV7 days a week. I try to pull up the newscast as it is live and it does not show up. It just shows me replay or highlights from a newscast. I want to see the live, as it is happening on TV and when they go live for bad weather
-- Cool blue 90, 2024-09-17

### ***-- "Accessibility issues galore!"
Over the years, this app has had its ups and downs concerning accessibility and navigability, and this time is no exception.  First, there no longer seems to be a way to save an article for later reading.  Because of that, a search function would be helpful; but, of course, I’m not finding that either.  The only tabs now are “Latest”, “Weather” and “Watch”.  If I’m in “latest”, and go into the menu, hitting such things as “Settings” or “Contact Us” takes me into “Weather”, as does “App Support” on the App Store info page for the app.  This needs to be redesigned from the ground up, with accessibility and navigability in mind.  It is terribly frustrating not to be able to save a story, or to search for a story that appeared a week ago in order to finish reading it.

### *---- "New version is a bloated nuisance"
The latest updates to the CBS42 weather app have turned a fairly functional app into a bloated waste of time. I would prefer to go back to the old app.  Will be looking to replace it with another local weather app that sends real time alerts.
-- Matt_J in Alabama, 2021-07-02

### ***** "Weather"
We had Tornado watch’s and warnings for my area, I didn’t get any notification on my phone, had the other apps went off
-- WeatherNut15, 2021-03-26

### *---- "Bad design; sells my info"
Not a fan of the new design. The headlines are impossible to read and the thumbnails are too small.

Not a fan that your app sells my information to third parties by default. Shame on you.
-- iPhoneWanderer, 2021-03-05

### ***** "Updated"
It keeps me updated.
-- W4RHOR53, 2021-02-25

### ***** "I love listening to you all"
I love watching the news every day you get all of your happenings from every where every day and that’s great first thing in the morning
-- arlettawyatt, 2020-10-20

### ***** "Lynda in Tuscaloosa"
Love CBS42!! And their app!! Keeps me informed!!
-- Lynda in Tuscaloosa, 2020-10-10

### ***** "Top stories"
Always on top of the news, keeping us informed !
