1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't play live video when I first got the app but it does now! A CBS update may have fixed this original problem

Update: 9-10-2017

Well the latest app update removed the ability to watch a live NFL game on my digital projector. Dear CBS, you are going the wrong way. I pay for full cable TV and yet I can't stream a live game of my home team. My rating has gone from a 1 star to a 4 star and now back to a 1 star.

Like many of these streaming apps they are tending to get worse rather than better in what they offer and in performance.

Update:

When I first got this app I tried for over a month to watch multiple sporting events and I could not stream any live sporting events. My primary interest was to watch the NFL games on CBS. Today I was in the basement working and I turned on the digital projector and the CBS Sports app and the NFL AFC playoff game was on line between the Patriots and the Pittsburg Steelers. It was streaming perfectly in HD quality with no issues. I have raised my rating from 1 star to 4 stars.

I hope CBS keeps streaming live sports like this. This will make this app much more useful with my Amazon Fire TV stick. Many of the people that gave this app a poor rating should try to see if it is working now. Thanks CBS for fixing this issue.

Original review:

I have full cable service and I use multiple apps to play TV channel programs live on a wide screen projector in our entertainment room. Many of the apps for TV channels allow me to sign in and prove that I am a customer of a TV provider, like ATT U-verse, and it automatically lets my watch live video on the projector wirelessly. I use a Fire TV Stick to do this. This app will not let you watch live TV at all. For my purposes of watching an NFL game I find this app useless for my application.

I find it amazing that so many other national channels allow you to stream live video for free once you register that you are paying for cable TV, but not CBS! It shows a lot of bits and pieces of talk shows about sports that I don't care about. This app for me is a 1 star and I would rate it lower if I could. CBS needs to catch up with its competitors and show live TV. ESPN, TNT, FOX, NBC, Disney, and ABC do it properly and there are other stations that also stream live TV. CBS needs to wake up and realize that this is 2016 and a digital world and not 1950!

-------------

So far the app is still working reasonably well.

I love ESPN, but I don't NEED ESPN! CBS Sports is free... and the actual user interface experience is SO MUCH BETTER than dealing with the loooong. sloooow dated user-interface of ESPN. AND on top of that, you need a daggone cable provider just to watch ESPN. Really??? in the 21st century you still need a dinosaur cable provider to watch ESPN??? With CBS SPORTS all you need is in an internet connection. Period! Again, the user interface experience with CBS SPORTS is smoother, faster, better, simplified and to the point! tons of highlights!

Think about it...what do most watch ESPN for? SPORTS CENTER!! That's it!! Well.... CBS SPORTS has ALL the daily sports highlights I need! They have solid insightful athlete Analysts as well. I mean, why pay for a cable provider in 2021 to watch sports news & highlights? Yo, save your money... and Get the CBS Sports app!

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2016
Verified Purchase
I purchased an Amazon fire stick and downloaded this channel APP along with many other channel app's. I wasn't aware I would be prompted for a review from Amazon for each channel downloaded (or I wouldn't have downloaded 90% of them.) If there are no previous words to this paragraph and a three star review, then it is obvious I haven't had the time nor inclination to review the channel APP. I do often review items for seller discounts and therefore I am expected to leave reviews for every item purchased. The problem here is I didn't purchase any of these channel apps, they were all free for download and use. I will eventually get around to either reviewing each channel or deleting them from my Amazon fire stick, however when they are deleted from my fire stick the review requests remains. Due to the fact I am rated on my ability to leave a review for all my Amazon purchases, I must leave this wordy explanation for my review explaining the fact that I wish I had not been prompted for a review on a free channel app. The Amazon fire stick has been a good little functioning device that allows me to stream conventional shows over my home wifi and internet and although it's not the fastest device (click and wait sometimes) it does function as expected for a small HDMI stick over wifi. I only wish there was a way to disable the requests for reviews on free channel apps.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best way to follow your favorite teams.
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2015

If you are a sports enthusiast, this is the app for you. You are able to follow professional teams, college teams, and even high school teams.
Pros: The app has multiple pages which allow you to easily access different teams. You can follow news, twitter messages, betting odds, videos, and pictures with the tap of a finger. I really enjoy the option of picking favorite teams. By doing this, your news feed is customized and you can filter out any "uninteresting" news.
Cons: This application has often crashed and kicked me off on my Fire tablet. Sometimes, I am unable to view certain videos. Besides these cons, I am very interested in this app.
Overall, I recommend this app to sports enthusiasts who want instant access to sports news. You will find it very useful.

Avevo la necessità di una fonte affidabile e di un'applicazione ben fatta per seguire risultati sportivi, notizie, statistiche, video dal vivo e molto altro e finalmente ho trovato quella ufficiale CBS. Fatta benissimo con contenuti di prim'ordine come sempre, presente anche il supporto a fire stick e chromecast. Unica pecca la mancanza della lingua italiana come fatto presente da altri utenti ma la vedo come un'opportunità per migliorare le proprie conoscenze della lingua inglese. 5 stelle meritate davvero.
