It has some shows but easily out numbered by the amount of news channels they have. I tried looking for a search bar but there’s nothing absolutely nothing going for this app. Just save your energy and don’t download this useless news application you’ll thank me later. ### 1/5 — No search *2021-10-03, version 1.0.2* The developers of this never designed this app to have a search option why ### 1/5 — No search bar *2021-09-22, version 1.0.2* You can’t even search for what you want to watch, the app is weird to navigate. ### 1/5 — Superwog *2021-08-06, version 1.0.2* I can’t find superwog on here somebody plz help ### 1/5 — Please fix *2020-10-26, version 1.0.2* I just got this app and wanted to watch something on abc kids, but I cannot find abc kids anywhere! I even looked in shows from A to Z, but the show was not there either! The name of the show is Bluey and I can find it on the website but I cannot watch it on there because it takes long to load. So please fix either the app or the website. Thank you in advance! **Developer response:** Hi wannabe. The content you will find on ABC Australia iview (our international app) is different from what you would be able to watch domestically if you were in Australia. This limitation is due to the content rights agreements we have in place. ### 1/5 — Excitement turns to dust *2020-07-27, version 1.0.1* What a treat this will be for an ex-pat! Alas, the content so beautifully displayed does not load. No sound, no video, just controls and then a black screen. Tried it on iPhone and iPad. Both failures. Tried rebooting and reinstalling. No go. Please ABC make this work. ### 2/5 — DONT get this unless you like the news *2023-05-05* This app WOULD be great if you want to watch the news, but not for anything else. There is no search bar!! I bet most people that download this are looking for bluey, but it’s NOT THERE! I don’t understand why tho, because bluey is such a popular show! ### 2/5 — Great until it stopped working... *2021-01-25, version 1.0.2* It was great until it stopped working in early November 2020. Still works on my iPhone though. ### 4/5 — Kinda okay but.. *2022-03-16, version 1.0.2* U can't search i downloaded to find something but i can't search for it! ### 4/5 — Was wonderful when it worked *2020-07-26, version 1.0.1* I gave four stars as it was excellent up to a few days ago. I was watching ABC shows from New York. I really appreciated the live news. It was so much better than relying on newspapers online. Suddenly there is no sound or picture. Using Apple apps on phone and iPad. It loads ok and menu works, but no show will load. No error. It shows as loaded but then goes to a blank screen. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why its good *2021-07-28, version 1.0.2* The only reason its good is bc of superwog ### 5/5 — Superwog *2021-07-19, version 1.0.2* Superwog 5 star no explanation needed ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-02-28, version 1.0.2* Amazing news app, love the Australian perspective on USA. Very neutral great. ### 5/5 — Happy little Aussie, oi, oi, oi! *2020-07-17, version 1.0.1* I didn’t know how much I missed Australian Story and Aussie humour until I watched the show about the Russian choir from Mulengrad. FABULOUS. Well done ABC❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Awesome app great content *2020-03-08, version 1.0.1* Thank you developers for making this available to all of us outside Australia. Will recommend to family and friends ! ### 4/5 — Great for expats, needs more programming *2020-04-01, version 1.0.1* Happy that ABC thought about Aussie expats when developing this app. Has a decent amount of ABC produced programs, especially around news and some docs. The one program that my kids really want is Play School. I’m really surprised that this isn’t available. I can’t thing there would be international rights issues on an ABC produced kids program. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
