I
don’t really watch too much tv, the only two TV shows that I like to watch on a
regular basis are big bang theory and how I met your mother, both of them are
produced by CBS. But with my daily routine where I have to do homework, and my
full time job, watching those series in the hours where they are transmitted is
most of the times impossible to me.
I
know that I can pay for the TV shows, but to be honest, even though I enjoy
them, it is not worth it to spend that money on the shows, at least not for now
that I have other priorities on my list. I found that CBS has an application
for the iPhone and the iPad, which I use some times to watch the shows but this
app has a lot failures and In my opinion the user experience that provides is
not good enough.
First
in the mobile application they transmit the episodes 8 days after the air date,
but they have them the next day on the CBS website; I really don’t understand
why they don’t do the same for the mobile app.
Second,
the closed caption is never synchronized with the video and the font is pretty
small, which for me sometimes is annoying, they have a feature that simply doesn’t
work.
Third,
reliability, with the new version on the IOS 7 the application had many
crashes, the screen got freezed and it was very difficult to watch an episode,
but later with the updates they improved a little bit this part.
Finally
I think they can improve the user interface, in the home screen they display a
long list with some shows, I think the content could be better distributed in
the home screen, my suggestion is if they want to keep that list on the home
screen they could add a search field in order to facilitate the search of the
shows. As well, they definitely need to improve the closed caption option and
transmit the show next day after the aired day just like in the website, and
improve the quality of the video transmission.
