Minus 2 stars for Disney for firing Jimmy Kimmel to ingratiate themselves to a would be dictator. ### 1/5 — Car chases *2025-07-22, version 8.69.0* Why do you stop regular programming for car chases? Who cares it’s repetitive and disruptive to my regular programs! Idk about stupid people in car chases. You stop regular programming to watch these for hours!! It’s annoying..Im changing watching channel 7. Put it only on streaming but not major TV. ### 2/5 — Click Bait Notifications *2025-06-23, version 8.67.0* Got tired of the click bait, stupid opinion notifications. Just give me the news and important breaking news ### 2/5 — Constantly Freezing *2025-06-03, version 8.65.0* An article I’m watching/reading is constantly freezing. This started about a week ago! Extremely frustrating, I even checked to see if there was an update, NO! ALSO when tapping your “app support” feature it takes me directly to your APP…..NO SUPPORT ### 1/5 — Correct Video Rarely Plays *2025-05-22, version 8.65.0* Why display a screenshot of a video and when that screenshot is clicked ad after ad is played but never the video pictured??? ### 3/5 — Links to stories never work correctly *2025-03-19, version 8.60.0* When you receive a notice from the app regarding one story, you click it and it either takes you to an ad or an entirely different news item. Over it. ### 3/5 — Needs Improvement *2025-03-14, version 8.60.0* Lately we’ve been seeing within most stories, “Content failed to load”. Why is this happening and what is being done to correct the problem? It makes it seem like we’re not getting everything about the issue. ### 2/5 — Have your app but *2025-02-20, version 8.58.0* Getting zero notifications. ### 2/5 — No user settings *2025-02-17, version 8.58.0* App does not have user settings to control auto-playing video clips. I prefer to read my news while listening to music. This app overrides device settings disabling auto-play cutting off whatever you may be listening to. ### 1/5 — Proof Read *2025-02-03, version 8.56.0* Whom ever is in charge of proof reading the content shared on the ABC7 News app needs to take a refresher course. Unbelievable how many errors are in your daily content. Be better! ### 2/5 — News won’t open *2024-12-16, version 8.55.0* I run into this problem a lot with this app, where I either click on a notification (car chases most often) or just live news in the app and I get an endless circle of death and it never loads. I close and reopen and it’s the same. Right now I’ve been trying for an hour because there is a car chases standoff, but live news won’t open. ### 1/5 — Absolutely greedy *2024-12-14, version 8.54.0* I use to the use this app back in the day, perfectly fine, except for when you accidentally touched an ad. Now it’s nothing but ad after ad. Oh here’s another ad. Oh here’s our personal ad.“Do you like our app?” No. Do not download this. It is pointless and worthless. ### 1/5 — What happened to being able to control notifications? *2024-12-02, version 8.53.0* It seems that I can’t control the notifications that I get like I used to. I don’t really care about getting notifications about silly TV news shows. I just want breaking news. “Interests” aren’t the same thing as I don’t have any of them enabled. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Even more overload of commercials. *2026-02-27* It is an extreme wast of time to have to wait though advertisement before every single news video. While I can't fault ABC7 for making money the usefulness of the app has dropped drastically the longer I have to wait. I have other things to do...especially if I'm essentially watching the same add each time. What then is the point? ABC7 should design in some better intelligence such as a timer of sorts or smarts to know how long I've been on the app to allow the app or server to be more selective on when it shows me an add, say every other video or very third especially if I'm going to be seeing the same add over and over. Otherwise, it's makes it difficult to continue to use the app, I loose interest and end up using another news app or source ### 1/5 — Freezes *2026-02-16, version 8.81.0* Not liking this app that freezes all the time ### 1/5 — Adds *2026-02-14, version 8.81.0* Now on every news clip I have to watch a 45 second add. Can’t just get the news anymore! I’m out ### 1/5 — Shame *2026-02-06, version 8.80.0* How can you report fake news? ### 1/5 — Channel 7 is a liberal station *2026-01-30, version 8.78.1* You people at channel 7 news are absolutely pathetic… you only favor the Democrats.. just because LA is a sanctuary city. You don’t talk about none of the good stuff that the conservatives have done. All you guys do is talk bad about ice bad about Trump. You guys are pathetic losers I used to believe in you guys, and when you do air something it’s edited and cut. It’s never the whole truth. You guys should stay neutral and take both sides into account absolute losers!!!! And this is exactly the reason the United States is in this problem to begin with is because of the left you liberals you Democrats absolutely pathetic. Shame on you channel 7. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-12-16, version 8.59.0* So if it’s not broke why try and fix ? It’s not working on my iPhone X it was working but now nothing ! So to get news you can’t use an iPhone X ? Sad ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-10-12, version 8.75.0* Still has Ads running from years ago, constant misspelling in articles, run on sentences. These people must be in junior high school still. ### 1/5 — Boycotting *2025-09-22, version 8.73.0* Deleted this app and boycotting Disney and ABC. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. ### 1/5 — Government censorship *2025-09-20, version 8.73.0* You all are cowards! I don’t watch Jimmy Kimmel but I believe in free speech and am. Against government censorship! ### 1/5 — No free speech; no app *2025-09-18, version 8.73.0* If Disney can’t support free speech, I can’t support ABC/Disney. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Air7 Hd slaps 👋💥 *2026-08-28, version 8.94.0* Love watching high speed chases on here! The video quality is awesome and Chris Cristy makes it more interesting 👍 keep up the good work! From the Central Valley✌️ ### 5/5 — So cal changed *2026-02-09* Wow! I already left So Cal. But I really thought that some day I could return to my home state. Instead it’s getting worse. I realize I will never return. The craziness is off the wall. I really believed the decent people of California would get a grip on things. But I also thought they wouldn’t vote for Newsome again. I was wrong about everything. Except leaving. I was 5th generation and I know others have stayed but they have big families. ### 5/5 — Returning Jimmy Kimmel *2025-09-22, version 8.73.0* I totally support as a United States of America citizen, the first amendment. We may not like what people say, or the way it may be said, but they have the same right that I do to express an opinion freely without fear of retribution ### 5/5 — Mis noticias *2025-08-01, version 8.70.0* Me encantan las noticias de abc7 ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2024-11-14* I just wished it had ads to immerse the audience not just “we’ll be right back!” please add ads ### 5/5 — Good for everyone *2024-06-17* From France Greetings from France to miss jennifer Aniston Sandra bullock ### 5/5 — Updated terms *2024-06-12, version 8.41.0* Why do I have to review the updated terms every time I open the app for the first time each day? ### 5/5 — Top Score for Hanna Maxfield - Director of Digital Operations ! *2024-06-01, version 8.40.0* I wanted to take a moment to say how appreciative I am of Hanna Maxfield, Director of Digital Operations. I have noted some challenges and issues over the past few years as ABC makes changes to their APP. Hanna has always been quick to respond to my concerns and provide a roadmap to resolution. It is comfor to know that even though ABC is as big as it is, they have amazing staff that genuinely care! Thanks Hanna! Sincerely, Johnathan ### 5/5 — Bring back *2024-02-09, version 8.32.0* Bring back the staff information ### 5/5 — Older model cell phones .... *2024-02-09, version 7.25* Don’t allow for a change to the new version of ABC 7’s News Program. I do wish that it was so, but it’s not workable it seems. I so enjoy the news outline offered and have found the new changes very disquieting and very disappointing! Please allow me to use the old site connection!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
