  • Feedback?

    I cannot find a quick way to provide input or feedback on any news story, nor can I quickly access/find the way to vote when it is requested. In Settings there is a “Feedback” option, but when clicked I just get the unending circle. For example, at the end of many News stories I want to ask, “But why?”. Also, at the end of the announcement of the new Bart Director I wanted to give feedback by suggesting that BART seek the input of rapid transit experts from Singapore & London. Help? Thanks.

  • Good start, but badly needs a search function

    The notification lists several top stories. There is no way to find the second story listed in the notification—which was the reason clicked on the notification.
  • Deleted!!!!

    After getting annoying alerts for everything under the sun that is not news, I searched for the story about a fire that had International completely blocked all night into early this morning and could find nothing until over 12 hrs later and then the story was grossly misinformed and incomplete. I know this because nbc posted the full detailed story at about 7 am this morning. I decided I should have their app instead. I live in Oakland and I need to know things for my safety and well being. I don’t need alerts about people dressing up their dog’s collar. This shouldn’t need to be stated. Report the news.

  • Used to love this app

    Whoever was responsible for this latest update should be fired. The app just keeps shutting down for no apparent reason. I have no problems with other apps, just this one. And previously, it did not do this.

    Add to that, the annoying commercials between EVERY video, that are sometimes longer than the video clip itself, just makes this app no longer my favorite news app. Reluctantly, I’m deleting it today.

  • Last straw today - DELETED

    I’ve used this app for a few years and lived with a lot of annoyances. One longtime issue was the app throwing up an alert about a news development on the lock screen, but when going to the app, it merely linked to the “home” screen. Sometimes merely finding the story mentioned in the alert was difficult (you’d think that it would be the top story given it was the subject of the lock screen alert).

    Well, they finally fixed that, but TODAY I kept encountering another super annoying issue. While reading one story, the app kept switching to a different story. It did this 4 times. The first time I thought I might have hit a link within the story I was reading. The next few times I was careful not to touch any text that might have been a link. Finally on the 4th try, I just watched the screen without touching. Sure enough, after about 20-30 seconds, the app just loaded the same story AGAIN about LA Police capturing Nipsey Hussle’s killer. In fact it’s something I had already looked at when opening the app.

    Anyway, I have no tolerance for apps that decide what I want to see when I’m trying to see something else.

    Its deleted, gone... good riddance!

  • App currently will NOT stay open!!

    Today Sunday 31 March at 1130h when you attempt to read a particular story, when you “click on” that story, your App will NOT stay open! It closes and you can NOT read the story / watch the accompanying video! I’ve deleted the App and reinstalled it and the problem persists. I’m on an iPhone 6S. Currently all other apps on my phone open with NO problem!! This is NOT very convenient😡😡

  • What to do about rubbish and the homeless?

    If cities like San Francisco would put more effort into working with the homeless to keep their areas clean like “trash dumpsters and port-a-potties, and less on destroying sites by throwing away clothes and property, the homeless community would have more respect for the city.
  • I can’t with this app anymore

    After a few years of dealing with this app I’m finally deleting it. I can’t anymore with how terrible it is. For starters the ads inside are such icky scam clickbait that it makes the news seem entirely unreliable. And I’ve sent messages to the creators about it before but I HATE that I have zero control over the news that gets pushed to my home screen. I should be able to say no to getting endless updates about sports, celebrity news, this person said WHAT? On Twitter??? BS, and for getting every single second play by play about things that don’t matter to me: “EVENT is today!” “We’re counting down to EVENT!” “EVENT is about to start” “EVENT just started” on and on until I want to die. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. THE NEWS IS NOT WORTH IT. THE TYPOS AND INCOMPLETE REPORTING ARE NOT WORTH IT. NOTHING THAT IS PROVIDED IS WORTH HOW ANNOYING THIS APP IS.

  • Not user friendly with the scrolling

    I don’t like the scrolling feature. I also don’t like that a story airs on the television version of the news and then is not available on the app.
  • Do not get

    Since the update the app is full of ads. Whenever you click on a story you get an ad, even if you just watched one the story before. The app is now harder to navigate, has less content, unending ads, and no way to contact or leave feedback. I have had and have depended on this app for years. No more, I am deleting it. There are many more ways to get the local news and forecast. If it wasn’t for Dan Ashley and Spencer Christian I would stop watching their evening and nightly news on TV as well. Shame on you ABC7, you have ruined my mornings.
