Can I scroll down without being “click-baited“

There are too many ad’s that are apparently relishing on my fingertips not being smooth enough to scroll down in peace. Every half an inch I “accidentally click“ on a less than meaningful ad that takes me elsewhere without me asking for it. Time to calibrate your page please. Videos taking very long to load, or loading in the background somehow while I'm *watching another news feed* from same app.

News is Important

I like and trust the news coverage on this app. I can scroll easily but images don’t load quickly. I like the font and it is easy to read if you don't have perfect vision. I like options to read privately rather than having to go immediately to a video. I find there is a good variety of war news coverage also the bad local events not just the big headlines. I do like the health and education news to be current and less opinion on random political figures and events. Updates to stories I have read would also be helpful and hopeful.

Very buggy

The news video either live or recorded stories, it gets really buggy and interrupted and stops. CBS and NBC New York news apps don’t have that problem. Please fix because I trust ABC news.

Zero stars for lying by omission

I once highly respected this news agency but over the last seven years they have completely polarized the delivery of information to the public. Journalistic integrity has gone out the window. They consistently publish in accurate information by leaving out major details which is essentially lying by omission. I removed the app from my phone I remove them from my web search browser I will no longer turn it on to watch on TV. I used to start my day by listening to the news and I refuse to even bother anymore with it’s one-sided hate filled propaganda.

Frustrating!!

I’m like the others leaving reviews. Like the news, hate the app. Crashes, locks up, doesn’t update. It’s no longer my “go to” news app. None of the other news apps I use act like this one. Obviously, they don’t care to fix the issues, because the bad reviews all describe the same ones, and they go back years… not days, weeks, or months… years!! I can’t even imagine what their advertisers think about this. I’d be furious if I were in their shoes. I’m probably going to delete the app, and use a different one that consistently performs better.

Bilander

I too can no longer use this app- it seems to have frozen on me; the weather is permanently three days old. I can’t get anything- have tried to cancel and re-install but that does not help-I don’t know what happened-I miss it-Before all this happened it started where notifications would come up and then when I clicked on them everything just disappeared. I couldn’t get them in the app or find the stories in the app at all & things were not being updated-it was good until lately-no stars! And this piece of garbage won’t even let me send in my review without putting in at least one star! I don’t want to give it any stars -it doesn’t work at all-it’s frozen now and it has been giving me grief for weeks!
And I miss Lee Goldberg’s weather reports!!!

Annoying Ad

The recent ads for Betfair casino are truly annoying! There is something different about them,The ad is super sensitive to touch. Even when just lightly scrolling, the screen goes to their site... over and over again!! It’s enough to make me switch to another news app. I enjoy ABC news app but this is terrible.

App for ABC 7 stinks

The commercials continue to play when trying to watch the news report video.
The app shuts down in the middle of reading the article.
Worst news app ever.
Please fix.

Overall Great App

Great app! Only reason why I didn’t give it five stars is because sometimes when you click on notifications it doesn’t always take you straight to the story and you have to sift through others to try to find it. Other than that it’s a great way to stay informed through an objective, concise source.
