iPad owners looking for CBS News content now have a free app for that. CBS is following the lead of ABC News with an app that caters to the dimensions of the iPad. The CBS News app features an easy to use interface that includes stories, images, videos, and even various CBS News Twitter feeds.
Like much of TV news, there is a lot of stuff, but not much depth. Stories usually run just a few paragraphs, but sometimes there is some more welcome detail.
Many of the videos are from CBS owned CNET, but they are tech specific and appear to be there as filler. There is no local news, other than your local temperature, and every time you quit the app and come back in, you have to tell the app to use your local location. That’s just dumb.
