  • All I see just advertisement

    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.

  • Auto play — STlLL FAILING

    The auto play next “feature” is more annoying than helpful. You get just a couple seconds before it kicks in and it can be very difficult to stop. The worst part is how often I move on to another selection and start playing my next choice but I wasn’t fast enough and the app auto plays anyway now playing TWO different videos. The only way to fix this is to quit the app. They should fix the app to never play two videos at the same time or at least allow us to turn of this badly designed and implemented feature

  • A few issues

    You advertise the app & say we can find things like the Neighborhood Report with crime stats, but I can’t find it. I don’t see a search option.
    Also, your definition of breaking news does not align with mine.
    You keep sending alerts for what you are reporting on the news…. Not breaking news. I want to know what is going on around the bay when something BIG is happening, like an active shooter or 9/11 type events. I don’t like getting alerts for every jaywalker or stories that are on your broadcasts all day. If it isn’t important enough to BREAK into regular programming, it isn’t BREAKing news. Just stop it!

  • Truth and Awareness Brings Comfort

    When children are grown and live thousands of miles away your area news keeps us connected
    and informed where they live Thank you
  • How about a night mode?

    Desperately needs a night mode. This is the 2020s, why the glaring white background only? Add a night mode or black background please. Videos windows are intrusive. When scrolling up to read the article, I do not want or need a window to pop at the top so I can access the video, that is already at the top of the article. I can just scroll back to it. Annoy to constantly have to close those video windows every time as I scroll down to read. When I select do not auto play video, it because I’m on cellular and don’t want my data used. Why are the ads auto playing?

  • Not able to understand the app.

    Didn’t like the new way of Top News. 30 seconds add before playing each video,c. VV. C. C Cz common. Even after viewing the add video starts with audio and another add together. This is the worst version so far.

  • Very much an echo chamber.

    Heavily biased new source. While there is some good reporting that occurs from time time, its typically the financial, economic and/or consumer reports. Otherwise though on any topic even slightly more political, you can guess exactly this channel’s perspective and every point they will make about any topic/story before you even read past the headline. Most of us believe in social justice and making our society more inclusive, but Im sorry the perspective offered here is BORING. We’ve heard it all before and they don’t even use a thesaurus to mix up the words. Same intellectually basic and lazy take every time. Would love to see some nuance at least every now and then, but forgive me for being curious & trying to hear out others with differing opinions.

  • Best crew ever including Sandya. Also Michael Finney.

    ABC is one of my favorite networks and ABC7 news along with the World News David Muir make for good listening without the rants and raves you get on other networks.

    I love the special 4 @ 4. Lots of humor there.

    I think the whole spectrum of news is covered from 4:00 PM on daily.
  • Reinstalled this piece of junk just to leave a well-deserved review

    I left a three star review the other day due to the app performance (Not because of the station’s news policies or slant, you morons who do that). I then deleted the app and hunted around for a new one. I’m not telling you I ended up with NBC’s because of any bias I have, but only to tell you this: It Works Like A Charm!

    I picked a story on video, it loaded immediately, and after the obligatory ad it dove right in to the story and never suffered a hitch while playing. That was enough to get me back here to leave this review.

    These people should either sue the app developer, fire the executive who administers the app, or both. It’s almost as bad as Walmart’s website used to be, if you remember those days.
