What's New in ABC7 Bay Area
8.55.0
December 16, 2024
This release includes various bug fixes and improvements to continue providing a best-in-class news experience.
I’ve been using the ABC 7 News app for a while now, and I appreciate the timely and accurate news coverage it provides. However, the amount of ads is overwhelming and significantly detracts from the user experience. It often feels like there are more ads than news articles, which is incredibly frustrating. I understand that ads are necessary to keep the app free, but the current frequency is excessive. Please consider reducing the number of ads or finding a better balance so users can enjoy the news content without constant interruptions.
