### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2026-06-12, version 7.15*

This app would be great if it didn’t have the ridiculous amount of ads.  I can’t read any news article, without being bombarded with ads.  I’m coming close to deleting; it’s just too frustrating.

### 2/5 — Last update broke traffic map

*2021-05-15, version 6.37*

Traffic map comes up blank since last update.

### 3/5 — Not enough LOCAL News

*2020-09-07, version 6.32*

I like Channel 10, however, I have this app to tune into more LOCAL news. Many - Most stories on this app are from out of the city, region, or state. I’m a San Diegan tuning in for San Diego news.

### 2/5 — Almost there

*2020-06-03, version 6.30*

No ability to increase font size.

### 2/5 — Flawed

*2020-05-07, version 6.30*

‘Getting all the COVID daily updates, but stats nos. are so tiny, every time you try to zoom to see them the app fails & “reloads”, once or twice, until it finally gives up and fails over to the Top Stories page, and THEN you can’t get BACK to the stat page you were trying to see in the 1st place!  This app, after all this time, still not ready for prime time. If it’s a phone app you SHOULD be able to zoom in without this happening.

### 3/5 — Stop the dunning to go premium

*2020-04-05, version 6.30*

Please stop the in-app dunning to “go premium”, at least for the duration of the COVID-19 crisis.

It is not a good look.

Nobody has the money for premium services right now.

Other news media are dropping their paywalls for now  in the public interest. While you continue to grovel for cash.

Just stop until this is over.

### 2/5 — Saved news stories

*2020-02-15, version 6.24*

It erased all my saved stories & it won’t let me save anything anymore 🙁

### 2/5 — ads

*2019-05-18, version 6.21*

I guess abc decided that what I really want when I open my news app is for loud ads to immediately start playing in full volume. No thank you. I will get my news elsewhere.

### 2/5 — WAY to many notifications

*2018-09-02, version 6.18*

I love 10 news. However. You guys push WAY to many notifications. Such as 
  “ San Marcos woman battling HOA over roof issues “.  Is this breaking news ???? It’s constant garbage notifications.  Please stop pushing so many notifications.  Unless it’s a mass event.... it ISNT notification worthy

### 1/5 — Fix this app please

*2018-08-23, version 6.18*

Latest version crashes a lot! And you have a lot of nerve pimping a pay version without ads! Just fix this first and then I’ll decide if you are worth paying for. CBS and NBC San Diego don’t charge!

### 1/5 — App is unusable here

*2026-07-02, version 7.17*

If I open the app and got to North County News another category it starts glitching and doing strange things and I can’t read the articles and I have to force close the app because it’s taking over my screen and can’t do anything. 

Please fix it. I have the latest update too. It was just updated.

### 1/5 — Sub par journalism

*2026-06-24, version 7.15*

It’s crazy that you guys Call yourself journalist. Whenever you cover a story, You leave So much information out, and your stories are always extremely biased. You purposely leave facts out to fit your narrative. In top of that this app makes it difficult to search stories and there’s so much news always being left out. I’m constantly finding myself going to other apps, just to find things. Don’t waste your time with this app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even open, just crashes

*2025-01-24, version 7.8*

The app has been buggy lately, I would get a notification and I would click on it and it would take me to a generic landing page with no information. This morning I was trying to monitor the live wildfire updates and they all went to an old outdated story with no new information, then it said the app had an update. After update, it does not make it past the title screen and just crashes back to the phones home screen.

### 1/5 — Was great

*2024-11-04, version 7.7*

Update: STILL Crashes!DefiantlyNOT fixed.  Now it crashes every single time I try to open it. And I update my apps at least once a week and App Store says I’ve already got the most recent update for this app.

### 1/5 — Pop up ads, uninstalled

*2024-09-23, version 7.5*

Pop up ads, uninstalled

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-12-24, version 7.2*

I installed the app but it kicks me out every time I open it.

### 1/5 — Now wants my email

*2023-11-28, version 7.2*

Was using. Latest update requires a free account with my email. I get enough junk email already! Deleted it and now using the website.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2020-03-07, version 6.24*

Example of why this app is horrible. They will write a story about a person and say, “look at this persons face” but the picture posted with the article DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO ZOOM IN. Does not allow you to see details the article directly speaks about. Or they will post an article about a Amber Alert child with a picture of the kid and their family, but you CAN NOT zoom in to see the kid. What’s the point of the article If we can’t see what you’re talking about. Please fix this. It’s 2020, and we can put people on the moon, but this app won’t allow you to zoom in in a picture.

### 1/5 — Way too many ads

*2019-10-28, version 6.24*

Struggling for the past week to watch the live stream. I have to watch about 10min of ads then takes me to the screen that says “we’ll be back...”, but it has been stuck on that screen for the last 1.5 hrs. I have tried switching from app, safari to desktop & same thing happens on each. If I refresh, starts the same 10min of ads then back to same screen. Sooooo frustrating!!!

### 1/5 — Force closes

*2019-01-23, version 6.18*

With the new update the app force closes as soon as I try to open it.
