Worthless

A storm in the gulf and you can’t be bothered to update the weather on the app. Took over 12 hours yesterday to get a weather update and it’s over four hours old now. What is the point of having the app?

New update

Just terrible since the new update. Can only see past or future. No longer both combined. Going backwards.

Notifications are not linked

It is so frustrating when a notification shows up on my phone, hit the link, but it only opens your app. The notification should take you to the article mentioned in the notification. Then I search and search and can never find the article. Waste of my time trying to use your app.

Government censorship

ABC and its parent companies are censoring political views unfavorable to Trump, just because they are scared of getting sued by Trump again. I had to delete the app because of this government censorship interference

Bowing to FCC

Removed all abc from our lives

Audio

No other app has the issue but the audio is not synched up with what they are saying

Sports section. Not very good. I wish they would have Bob Allen Tim Melton

Can you cover more sports beside Houston teams in a few minutes of sports back in old days by Tim Melton. Bob Allen. Cover a lot of sports. What went on all day in a few minutes.

Opening a notification doesn’t take me to the story

I have an iPhone 14 and I have this app set up to send me notifications. Any time I click on a notification for a story I want to read, I am sent to the home page of the app but never to the exact story, which I then have to search for. Other apps send me to the exact story and it is frustrating that yours does not. Please fix.

The notifications are terrible

Every time I receive a notification for a story and click to see the story, it takes me to the home page and the news story I received the notification on is nowhere to be found. What’s the point of sharing a story I will never see or can’t find.

Opening app

Every time I get a notification about an updated story I click on it that seems very interesting and it does not go to that story. Very disappointing.

Channel 13 reports

Channel 13 does a decent job reporting local news but the biased opinions of the station’s governing agency is always apparent when addressing President Trump. Shame on you!!!

This website needs to be better

Should be much more update on local news that matters. Any headline more than 12 hrs old is no longer news. You need to step it up.

Not enough pertinent notifications

Too much non breaking news notifications

Freezes constantly

Works great reading three or four articles. Then it freezes up, and the whole phone is useless. Several minutes later, I can minimize the app and kill it.

Don't get me wrong, reading the news from KTRK is a highlight of my morning. But I can't do it any longer.

Best app. for local and national news

This is my number 1 app to keep abreast of the most updated news and events locally, Statewide and Nationally. It’s easy to manage and maneuver

Left slanted

Hardly news. It’s so far left.

Needs updated to fix bugs

I can’t open the article I want to, everytime I click on one, it takes me to another article and I can’t read the one I want to. Update the app!!

AP doesn’t seem to keep up with notifications

I get notifications from ABC13 on a regular basis. 99% of the time, when I click on the notification and the APP opens, there is nothing there about what the notification was about…
