### 1/5 — Just a splash screen

*2026-02-06*

The app only displays a splash screen, there doesn’t appear to be any functional purpose for it.

### 1/5 — Kelly Bates Gone Deleting Ch 6 App

*2025-09-14*

Sinclair Media is known for terrible corporate Karma No. Kelly Bates Goodbye Forever ABC 6.

### 1/5 — Not a very good update

*2016-09-24*

Why were viewers not aware of an update? The news is NOT updated on a daily basis. The lead news story for September 24 is from September 19. I dislike this new format and will delete it after writing this review.

### 5/5 — Better than 10 & 12 news apps.

*2015-12-11*

I was happy with my previous news app until they unfortunately  "upgraded" it. Couldn't find anything. So glad 6 has this app with easy to find categories:-)

### 4/5 — Way better

*2015-10-17*

After suffering through Ch 12's audio ad assaults and ch 10's all-commercials app this Ch 6 app is great. EZ to use, loads fast and nicely navigable stories and good weather info, although the weather guys  change more than the weather does.

### 3/5 — USMarine0913

*2014-04-25*

This app needs one more thing done to it to get a 5 star rating in my book....send some push notifications for breaking news....why say you send them and you dont?

### 1/5 — Awful update

*2013-02-27*

It's too hard to read now with the small scrolling thumbnails! Bring back a list you can actually read please! *delete*
