I hear that journalists used to report news to keep Americans informed. Now they hate Americans and love to sell angry BS they spin themselves ### 3/5 — Widgets? *2026-05-04, version 8.87.0* Like to see widget added ### 3/5 — Widgets? *2026-04-20, version 8.86.0* Like to see widget added ### 2/5 — Notifications with no news *2026-01-13, version 8.78.1* Constant notifications on news and now article to read about it. Also after notification is gone so was that headline. ### 2/5 — Testing *2025-08-19, version 8.71.0* Testing ### 2/5 — Stops audio *2024-10-25, version 8.51.0* Not a fan on how the app shuts off music. Easy coding fix. ### 2/5 — Slow *2024-10-24* This app is very slow to update and sometimes it takes almost 12 hours to get the new news posted. I know it’s not my phone because I have another news app that updates continuously. Not real happy with this ABC 30. I am also tired of the My News section switching to settings. I don’t want to change anything there and I don’t understand why it’s doing that all of a sudden. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Our goal is for ABC30 to be your trusted and reliable news source. We will relay your feedback to make this the best possible app for you. ### 3/5 — Trouble loading videos *2024-10-23, version 8.50.0* I like the app but when I want to watch the news story from a previous broadcast I can’t get it to play 90% of the time ### 1/5 — Notifications without Sories *2024-10-02, version 8.49.0* Too many times I have received a notification about a story, click on it, and the story is not there. It’s a very frustrating! I’m changing my news source because of it! It’s getting old already! ### 1/5 — Three against One *2024-09-17, version 8.47.0* I’m deleting your app! ### 1/5 — Repititious *2024-09-03, version 8.47.0* Same news, does not reflect what’s is current. Save stories ### 2/5 — Repeat the story with some facts *2024-04-15, version 8.37.0* Not sure of his name , but the same reporter that tripped/fell. “ I’m alright “. The Story-2 mothers that disappeared in Oklahoma. Didn’t understand what he was trying to convey?? Not ready for the real new stories, short story reels for practice. ### 3/5 — Problems *2024-03-09* This app always gives me problems. I had deleted it for about a year because of the problems. I redownloaded it a few weeks ago and was impressed with the changes. I installed an iOS update today and he we go again with problems. When I click on a news article, nothing loads. I tried forcing the app closed and reopen with the same problems. Very frustrating because it is a great station with great content. I’m sure the advertisers are not happy either ### 3/5 — New format *2023-08-10, version 8.20.0* Was much easier to read the old way ### 1/5 — Weather section *2023-06-28, version 8.17.0* I don’t know what you did to the Weather section I changed on the app, but it is unreadable fix it and I’ll change my review. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-06-16, version 8.16.0* This app is terrible and not reliable. Constantly spooling and not loading. All other news apps apps I have load immediately. ### 1/5 — Scrolling issues *2023-06-11, version 8.16.0* The new update of mid May 2023 is very glitchy especially with scrolling. Please revert back to the last version, or fix this one immediately. Update. It now crashes when opening a story. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Action News Ch30? *2026-06-09, version 8.88.0* Ch 30 ignores stories that don’t fit their narrative of local life and local politics. ### 1/5 — Sign of the times. *2026-05-01, version 8.86.0* Click to watch a news video and there’s a 2:30 min ad that won’t load before getting to the story?? No thanks! ### 1/5 — Irrelevant *2026-03-12, version 8.82.1* App tend to send a lot of breaking updates. However, upon clicking the link it shows irrelevant news to the topic. It’s really annoying and I don’t recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Weather hype up *2026-01-03, version 8.78.1* Stop scareing seniors ### 1/5 — Old app *2025-11-19, version 8.78.0* Bring back the old app ### 1/5 — Poor sign up *2025-07-16, version 8.68.0* Can’t sign up for local news without the use of a Disney+ email or account. Be affiliated, fine but don’t tell me which email to use to see the NEWS!! ### 1/5 — Pop ups for update *2025-03-06* Please stop the never ending pop up boxes to update the app. Many older devices can’t accept to updates and there’s no way to close the box without forcing a switch to the App Store, slowing things down even more. At that point, I close both apps and switch to another channel’s news app. And no, upgrading devices isn’t an option at this time, in this economy. I’ll check back on the app every few weeks, but for now, I’m done messing around with it. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2024-11-28, version 8.53.0* Every time I get a notification of a late breaking story you click on it and always takes you to a different story and never what you get notified for . Worst news app at of all here in the Central Valley ### 1/5 — Left Leaning *2024-11-18, version 8.53.0* It’s just too flagrant how left leaning and one sided this “news” agency has become. It’s garbage. ### 1/5 — Headline *2024-10-14, version 8.50.0* More detail about a horse than anything else going on in the valley. How is that news. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-05-06, version 8.87.0* Really easy to use and up to date with the local and world news. ### 5/5 — Channel 30 early a.m. news *2024-11-02* Channel 30 in the early morning actually up until good morning America comes on is more like a boring drug out weather report with the highway patrol giving us road conditions blended in and very little news. I find the news that early in the morning is left over from the previous day or two…. nothing new. Channel 26 actually seems to have better news believe it or not in the morning. ### 5/5 — Unable to download *2023-08-21, version 8.21.0* Is there anyway to get the app for my older phone? ### 5/5 — A must have app for Fresno area news *2023-05-20, version 8.14.1* Love ABC30, my favorite local news station. Get notifications of live news as it happens in the Central Valley. Highly recommended to anyone in the 559 area code. ### 5/5 — ABC is awesome *2023-05-07, version 7.25* ABC is most enjoyable ### 5/5 — Thank you Kevin!!! *2023-03-30* Just wanted to let you know that Kevin Musso is the most outstanding and knowledgeable weatherman I have ever seen. I have traveled all over United States and listened to many weathermen but Kevin is by far the best! However, Nico Payne could be replaced. His voice is very irritating and he over pronunciates his vowels reminding me of the sound of finger nails on a chalkboard! Thank You for allowing our opinions on this forum. I will continue to watch Kevin religiously. ### 5/5 — My favorite weather people🥰 *2023-03-29, version 7.25* Always know the forecast is as accurate as can be…..pleasant, knowledgeable and professional meteorologists! ### 5/5 — Love channel 30, best station in centers California *2023-03-21, version 7.25* Love channel 30, best station in central California ### 5/5 — Pretty good app *2023-03-12, version 7.25* Keeps us updated in real time. ### 5/5 — Fantastic news and weather *2023-03-11, version 7.25* You make sure to explain, everything that has to do with our area Thank You --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
