Only to find long running adds that take (seemingly) a long time to get through, only to not find the story they say is news. Most recently are pop-up screen grabbing spam that I have to close out the app to get rid of. Love the WWSB weather app and am beginning to hate the WWSB news app. ### 1/5 — I don’t live anywhere near this station *2025-11-09, version 7.0.15* Can’t change location what if it automatically signs in across the country. Pretty useless and stupid app ### 2/5 — Gulf of America *2025-07-23, version 7.0.15* Your weather reports need to reference the Gulf properly. It is the Gulf of America, not Mexico any more. Stop with liberal politics! ### 2/5 — Nothing but Ads *2025-06-22, version 7.0.15* Too many adds little content ### 1/5 — Non-local news? *2025-05-27, version 7.0.15* Can someone explain why this app is full of stories from Alachua county and towns that are 3 hours away now? I see more of the local news for Sarasota & Manatee county on apps from Tampa news channels than on this ABC 7 app. ### 1/5 — Discovering the Suncoast Disappeared *2025-04-30, version 7.0.15* We loved being able to see segments of Discovering the Suncoast. Why did you remove it???? ### 1/5 — Frozen *2025-03-29, version 7.0.15* Cannot get past first page. It is frozen. Redownloaded several times. ### 1/5 — No way to send a message to 7 *2024-09-28, version 7.0.13* Seems like a no brainer ### 2/5 — Overall Gray Media *2024-08-28, version 7.0.13* Why can’t we have local news without biased liberal national propaganda? We are all so TIRED OF THIS ATTITUDE! We are college educated people and see through the woke agenda. Stop it. PLEASE! Grow up! ### 2/5 — Continuing problems with frozen pagy *2024-06-30, version 7.0.13* I deleted the app a couple weeks ago, but when I reinstalled it, there are still technical issues. When I open it, it won’t let me give my answers to the the tracking questions, keeps freezing and I can’t do anything else. Hope that you guys get the problems fixed. Your station is great! ### 1/5 — Traffic *2024-04-25, version 7.0.12* Need traffic alerts regularly for our area! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-09-22, version 7.0.10* No actual news or programming just the same ads continually rotating. ### 1/5 — WWSB app *2023-02-22, version 7.0.3* Can not open this app for days ### 1/5 — Ads are out of control *2022-08-19, version 6.7.13* The developer needs to be kicked in nuts, or the person who sets up the ads. Preferably both. ### 1/5 — Not Working *2021-11-24, version 6.7.6* Shows the app was updated 17 hours ago but it’s still not opening, even after resetting phone ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New format is not good. *2026-04-21, version 8.0.3* What happened to the National news or World news links? This news channel keeps changing the app for the worse. ### 1/5 — New App *2026-03-18, version 8.0.2* Don’t care for it at all. Small print and hard to decide what you want to read. Please go back to old layout.Can’t read articles without listening to loud advertising. Terrible App ### 1/5 — New format is not good. *2026-03-17, version 8.0.2* What happened to the National news or World news links? This news channel keeps changing the app for the worse. ### 1/5 — Changes made are terrible *2026-03-15, version 8.0.2* I will no longer use this app!! ### 1/5 — 👎 *2026-03-13, version 8.0.2* New format is terrible. Cannot expand/enlarge photos or graphics ### 1/5 — New ABC7 APP *2026-03-09, version 8.0.1* Don’t like the new one. AT ALL! ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2026-03-07, version 8.0.1* ABC 7 ### 1/5 — Can’t Stop Annoying Audio *2025-12-09, version 7.0.15* Lately there is annoying audio playing when I open this app. How can you make the default setting to NOT play audio automatically? ### 1/5 — Pop ups *2025-12-07, version 7.0.15* Your app is the only news app that is filled with pop up adds that are so annoying I usually close the app to get rid of them. You need better app control! ### 1/5 — Review *2025-11-11, version 7.0.15* There is no live Contant same stuff I can find on any app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ABC7 rating *2026-03-25, version 8.0.2* Excellent! ### 5/5 — Excellent source of news *2021-03-19, version 6.6.4* Best source I have had for news. ### 5/5 — Update *2019-06-21, version 6.2.10* I updated this app as required and now it does not open ### 5/5 — Great local news app! *2018-02-22, version 5.7* Great local news from around the Suncoast! Very informative and relevant news! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-10-20, version 5.7* Really love the update its an awesome app ### 4/5 — Frustrated *2026-03-11, version 8.0.2* Can’t get rid of notifications banner when I have none active ### 3/5 — Just OK *2025-07-18, version 7.0.15* Lots of ads that trap you before you can move on to see “news”. News provided is often not “local” information, I’m not interested in dad to day goings on in Tallahassee or other areas of FL. ### 3/5 — No Osprey cam *2025-03-11, version 7.0.15* Haven’t been able to see the ospreys yet this year. Always get a black screen saying “ No viable streams” error 930. ### 3/5 — Update a failure *2021-11-20, version 6.7.5* When asked to update system went into lockdown and not come back up yet, it has been over a week. What is wrong?11-20-2021shows update will not come up today at all ### 3/5 — Latest update 4/20/2021 *2021-04-21, version 6.6.5* The previous version worked much better! For example, the version works in portrait but only what I consider upside down (previously it worked without having to flip it upside down). I prefer the power cord on top for portrait, which is convenient and stable. The presentation of articles may be more flexible, but causes more searching. I enjoyed checking each day for current news, but this update makes it harder... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
