When the headlinehad more detail than the story is sad sad. They don’t even correct the errors when pointed out. I like the story that does not say where the event will take place but gives you a link to also not tell you. Let’s be honest the reporting is Junior high level at best. And yet at Times one thinks they are paid by the word where they add so many meaningless words that do not help the story or reader Holy cow some articles it just hangs trying to forward the article and then the back button does not work forcing one to quit the app. Kudos to the programmers I wonder what APP NOTICE: THE EMAIL DOES NOT GET SENT ON DEV When they do not care enough to include all the letters? Reading is a trip. Start to scroll down then something opens in the article and now you have to scroll up cause your text jumped. So not smooth operation. Wonder how that made it into final project? ### 1/5 — More of a news headline *2025-09-24* When the average story is now 1 paragraph it’s not news but news headlines.

When the headlinehad more detail than the story is dad sad ### 3/5 — Reporting quality eh *2025-05-19* Great if this was a high school level. But for professional it is lacking in detail across most articles and fails normal journalistic style ### 1/5 — Text missing *2024-07-14* I guess as opposed to reading you are supposed to watch videos? Stories missing words or complete sections forcing one to watch and listen or quit app. Guess the decision When they do articles that just include snapshots of tweets but you can not actually enlarge so you can read it is a fail ### 2/5 — Text missing *2024-06-27* I guess as opposed to reading you are supposed to watch videos? Stories missing words or complete sections forcing one to watch and listen or quit app. Guess the decision ### 1/5 — Has pagination issues *2024-06-23* The pictures tend to cause breaks in the sentences. Sometimes after the first letter. So strange that in this day of technology that this seems to have taken a big step backward. Not coded correctly for cellphone screens unless you rotate the screen. Why should the customer have to adapt to the business? That is so 1600’s ## Frequently asked questions about ABC 57 News ### What kind of news does ABC 57 News cover?
