Not worth the time. ### 3/5 — Following the zero info update trend *2026-08-09, version 8.93.0* Providing zero details on why I need to update is boring. Try a little harder. Indie devs provide specifics all day long. ### 2/5 — Advertisement platform *2026-07-19, version 8.92.0* You are treated to a series of adds that exceed the length of the story. The video of the story is only shown after the advertisements. This app is a reading news source. I get the add revenue pays to provide the news free but it has been taken to an excessive level. ### 2/5 — New app *2026-05-25, version 8.59.0* Just hate it. I can’t get the update and the articles suck. ### 2/5 — Multiple videos play at same time *2026-02-21, version 8.81.0* I like the content, especially the weather, but recent updates have made this sound like I am walking into a crowded room. Please stop the Autoplay and fix the bugs so videos aren’t going on and on and on at the same time. Also, too many ads. ### 3/5 — Minimum OS *2026-02-03, version 8.53.0* Looks like your recent version has surpassed the maximum OS my iPhone can support. I don’t get a new iPhone every time Apple makes a new one. Please update the backwards compatibility. Thanks! ### 1/5 — I’m Done *2025-09-18, version 8.73.0* You couldn’t support Kimmel. I’m done, deleting this APP ### 2/5 — Hate It *2025-07-30, version 8.27.0* I don’t want to watch the “news”. Where are all the shows? ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-07-21, version 8.69.0* Still have not fixed the scrolling problem under Explore category on ipad. ### 2/5 — Was ok *2025-07-03, version 8.68.0* Until the audio continues when the app is closed…. What else is still running. Deleting immediately ### 2/5 — Needs some data checks going downhill *2025-06-15, version 8.66.0* For the most part this was a decent app years ago. Unfortunately with it owned by Disney there is a strong left wing slant these days and much of their reporting is skimmed off general news sites on the web. No real reporting, just prewritten scripts. ### 1/5 — Shameful *2025-06-08, version 8.65.0* How come you never report about the corruption and illegality of Trump’s presidency? ABC news should be ashamed. ### 1/5 — Bent the knee *2025-04-29, version 8.63.0* No longer independent jounalism ### 3/5 — Can’t change location in weather tab *2025-04-21, version 8.63.0* The 6ABC app seems to work fine except for one thing, in the weather tab, the location button and the arrow to change location is the top center of the screen on the iPad, but it’s behind the menu bar, I can’t get to it. Either the menu bar ( the one that says Home, Weather, News, etc) should be moved to the side or the location button, or both to opposite corners. Nothing should be behind the menu bar. ### 1/5 — I don't want videos *2025-04-09, version 8.62.0* I used to be able to use this app to read news articles. Now when I click on one, it forces a video to play. I don't want to wake my sleeping child or have my coworkers hear what I'm watching. Stop with the videos. I will delete the app. ### 2/5 — Notifications don’t open correct story *2025-02-28, version 8.59.0* Every time I click a notification I’m interested in the app opens to another story. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — FREEZES——LOCKS UP *2026-07-15, version 8.91.0* !!!AGAIN !!! Every time I open and 2 minutes into the app it locks up. It’s been over 3 years and still the app freezes up. It’s obvious that 6 ABC DOESN’T CARE! What is the problem that can’t be fixed with the app from FREEZING UP? SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER. THE AP FREEZES EVERY TIME. CAN NOT USE THE APP WITHOUT IT LOCKING UP. FIX IT!!! Your competition doesn’t have an app that doesn’t freeze up. It’s in every update that you issue. ### 1/5 — FIX IT!!!!!

FIX IT!!! ### 1/5 — ADS *2026-03-18, version 8.82.1* Too many ads ### 1/5 — AI slop *2026-03-06, version 8.82.1* This app is nonstop ads and fake AI articles. It gives pop ups for breaking news and then it’s nowhere to be found when you open the app. Don’t waste your time with this nonsense, just turn on the TV ### 1/5 — Problems *2025-10-20, version 8.75.0* This app is really no good Two voices r playing at one time it’s very annoying and there is no way to turn it off I reset the app and it is still doing it! This isn’t the first time but I gotta tell you it’s very frustrating! ### 1/5 — Capitulation *2025-09-20, version 8.73.0* Grow a spine ABC ### 1/5 — Delete immediately *2025-09-19, version 8.73.0* Boycott all ABC & Disney to stand up for Free Speech!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ms.cecily t. *2026-08-24, version 8.94.0* Leaving, my wife and I watch channel 6 news, and we feel like you guys are like family. To ms.Cecily We will miss you.God bless you and enjoy with the family.❤️🙏 ### 5/5 — Close app *2026-06-09, version 8.89.1* The news is too much for me ### 5/5 — This App work flawlessly. *2026-06-09* I’ve had this app on my phone for a few years now I never noticed any real major issues. The only thing that sort of annoyed me were the endless paid ads, but I do understand that’s how the new station makes revenue. it’s interesting how people complain about how the app doesn’t work how it’s frozen and glitchy. They failed to mention how old their devices which matters ironically this app runs flawlessly with no glitches no frozen video all of the various categories in the app work and of course the ads are still there and will always be there. I don’t see what the complaint is. It’s not the app. It’s their device before you blame the app. Maybe you should look at your phone because it matters. Keep up the excellent work iPhone 17 Pro Max ### 5/5 — Bad information!! *2025-09-19, version 8.73.0* Horrible !!! ### 5/5 — WPVI *2024-11-26, version 8.53.0* Your station has been glitching all day yesterday and again today. I’ve watched other stations and yours is the only station doing this. What is going on? ### 5/5 — Feedback *2024-06-21, version 8.41.0* Good afternoon, I am a loyal viewer of 6ABC however I have notice even today when you are giving advice on who to check on during this heatwave you put Animals first on the list Then children then the elderly may I ask that you change it so humans are always first when you are listing in any event who to look out for. It’s discouraging that whomever is writing this consider Animals more important than the elderly and Children. Makes no sense and I am a life long animal owner and advocate but come on let’s get this right !! People are more important than animals so correct the list to show humans first then pets Thank you shame I have to say this but geez my grandmother and daughter are first and for most then my pet ### 5/5 — App not working *2024-02-01, version 8.32.0* App failing to load. Blank blue screen with the 6abc logo. ### 5/5 — Zz4;rfcu.;<|.)2,).()YaMy *2023-08-15, version 8.21.0* KDIerfffgszsze. X xse res ASA we. 22.

Abuse of Political Power endangering US citizens long term and the beginning of the Fall of the United States and Democracy as we know it caused by the Justice Dept and FBI. The lack of an investigation of President’s son’s wrongdoing with Foreign Countries by the FBI and the Justice Dept and the mild media reporting authentic news of Hunter is appalling. The priorities of prosecution and for what are so wrong. Regardless if your a Republican or Democrat, it must hurt to see a former President being held on a possible crime, and a son of a sitting President not being held for wrong doing of accepting money from another Country. ### 5/5 — Slow and then crashes *2022-12-06* Seems ever since 6 ABC released the app for iOS it’s been issues that slowly get fixed. What never got attention or maybe it did is the fact of how sluggish the articles are to load. Now the headline stories don’t load the related picture. So today the app crashed when clicking on a story headline. This is just isn’t worth it when there are other local news apps that don’t come with this baggage. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
